Default EnglishDispenser contact information

Hi,

I run an office based practice in the UK called Blackminster Hearing Centre.

I am a hearing aid discounter, with often the lowest prices in the UK.

Unlike most UK dispensers I have a strong technical background in digital technology.

I also run a web based hearing aid spare business which sells all sorts of hearing aid sundries at the lowest prices I can manage.

If you want to know more please take a look at www.blackminster.co.uk or www.hearingaidspares.com

I reckon you ought to qualify that statement, at least a bit.

So are you saying that I am NOT a good dispenser?

Lloydy,

Are you entirely sure about that.

A CIC is 17 times more likely to break-down than an equivalent thin tube instrument.

A CIC is about 3 times more likely to fail in service than an equivalent ITE half shell.

A CIC is the most likely to get lost, trodden-on or swallowed. (According to insurance figures)

You might not like ED, but you can't fault his logic, especially in respect of the service-work required to look after hearing instruments.

Hello
Forgive me if I'm in the wrong area, very new to this. I have just purchased Smart IXs. So far love them, with a few exceptions. I would love to get my hands on an icube and ifpg to set just a few feature adjustments that seem to annoy the audi that I got them from. He is good, only that I am 4.5 hours away from the nearest dispenser. Are you aware of any way to purchase or hire for a limited time, as the adjustments are only minor increments to some of the compression and limiting. I value your input

Unfortunately Phonak have taken a dim view on the sale of the iCube, for reasons i shan't go into. To counter this they have doubled the price of the item. So we can supply them, and you can download the software, but the iCube is now about £500 to purchase. I'll leave that thought with you!

jenny007,
I find it interesting that her posts have disappeared from the Forum, I did a search and could not find any of her previous posts that were indeed mindless self promotion and seemed to be aimed at getting to the point were she could attach her website address to her posts. I think the moderator of the Forum saw what she or someone in her office was up to and struck her post from the site. I don't think any one defamed her on the Forum, she or someone in her office did it themselves. If she had something relative to offer regarding hearing loss or hearing aids we would have welcomed her with open arms.
