Home Instead Senior Care, Ireland’s trusted source of home care has partnered with the leading hearing healthcare provider, Hidden Hearing, to offer Home Instead clients a special discount for treating hearing loss. 

Clients of Home Instead Senior Care can now avail of a free hearing test at any one of Hidden Hearing’s 60 branches and hearing clinics nationwide or through Hidden Hearing’s home visit service.  If treatment is required, Home Instead clients will also receive a 10 percent discount on all treatment solutions. 

With one in six people in Ireland have hearing difficulties, and this increases to 1 in 3 for people aged over 60, hearing loss is a common condition experienced by many.  Yet research has shown that people will put up with poor hearing for up to 15 years before seeking help but will get their sight checked after just three years. 

The impact of not seeking treatment extends well beyond continued hearing loss.  Ignoring hearing loss can have profound negative effects on people’s quality of life and overall well-being and can lead to less social interaction, lack of confidence, isolation, depression and irritability.

Hidden Hearing has over 25 years experience and provides modern testing facilities, staffed by qualified hearing aid audiologists and the most technologically advanced hearing devices.  Hidden Hearing is also the only hearing care company to offer a 90 day money back guarantee, 5 Year Warranty, and a lifetime of free batteries and aftercare service.

Ed Murphy, Chief Executive of Home Instead Senior Care said: “With hearing loss affecting so many seniors, we hope this partnership and discount offer will support seniors to seek the best course of treatment for their hearing loss and avoid it impacting on their quality of life.”

Dolores Madden, Marketing Manager of Hidden Hearing said: "We are delighted to partner with Home Instead Senior Care. Both organisations are passionate about improving the health and well being of Irish seniors. With communication being such a key part of life, it is vital that people take care of their hearing and treat hearing loss without delay.”
