When it comes to choosing an audiologist, there are several options on the market. You can choose a large hearing care chain or an independent audiologist like Horend Goed. But what makes us different? In this blog, we explain why Horend Goed is the best choice for your hearing solution.
Independent audiologist: Personal care above all else
At Horend Goed, you are not just another customer, but a person with unique needs. As an independent hearing care professional, we have the freedom to give you the attention you deserve. Whereas hearing care chains often work with a standard protocol, we take the time to listen to your specific situation. Do you have a unique challenge or special needs? We think with you and offer solutions that are completely tailored to you.
No crazy contracts, but the best hearing solution
Many hearing care chains have contracts with health insurance companies that determine which hearing aids they are allowed to offer. This sounds convenient, but it often means that the choice is limited. At Horend Goed we do not participate in this. We believe that your hearing problems should not be limited by agreements between chains and insurers.
With us, you can choose whether you want a hearing aid that conforms to the hearing protocol or go for an out-of-the-ordinary device. Whichever hearing aid suits your specific needs and desires, we offer the solution that is right for you.
Genuine interest and personal attention
At Horend Goed, personal attention is key. We are not a factory that runs customers in and out; we are people-people. We understand how important good hearing is to your daily life and how profound hearing loss can be. That’s why we listen to your story, take the time for a hearing test and discuss the best options together.
This means you don’t have to expect any quick sales tricks with us. We focus on what works for you, whether that’s an advanced hearing aid or a simple modification to your current device.
Independent advice: we can offer everything
Unlike hearing care chains that are tied to certain brands, we as independent hearing care professionals have complete freedom of choice. This means we are not limited by exclusive deals with manufacturers and can offer a wide range of brands and models.
What’s more, we always keep up with the latest developments in hearing care. From modern rechargeable hearing aids to innovative accessories and aids for better TV sound – we have it all.
The difference in service
Hearing care chains often work with a standard service. This means that you usually get the same treatment, regardless of your personal situation. At Horend Goed, this is different. Our service is flexible and customized. Do you need more time to get used to your hearing aid? Then we simply schedule extra appointments.
In addition, we offer comprehensive aftercare. Think regular check-ups of your hearing aids, cleaning service and any updates to keep your device functioning optimally. All at no extra cost, because we believe in sustainable care.
Transparent pricing and options
With many hearing care chains, the cost of hearing aids and services can be unclear. At Horend Goed, we love transparency. You always know exactly where you stand, whether you choose a hearing aid that is covered by insurance, one that is not, or a device on the private market.
