Help and advice

Choice of attachment
Most listening equipment comes with a choice of headphones, stetoclips, earhooks or neck loops (ear hooks and neck loops are designed for use with hearing aids set to the 'T' setting). We recommend you check which of these attachments is being supplied before purchasing. Selecting which of these attachments is most suited to your needs depends on the nature of your hearing loss and your preference for over-ear or in-ear head phones. For more information read our advice on Headphones, stetoclips, earhooks and neck loops.

Safety
When you first put on listening equipment always have it at a minimum/low volume setting and then adjust it to your requirements. If you turn it on at a loud amplified volume you may damage your hearing.
