It is for this reason that we carry oiei -00 different Hearing Aids in stock! How do I choose on- from such-a wide range?’’ Without the use of expensne electronic equipment it would be difficult, but because we h t f t e lS T q ^ p m e n t - o f International Standard your hearing loss can.be exactly determined, and the collect Aid for you can be accurately prescribed.


••What happens then?" An'exact impression is taken from your ear painlessly and without mess, so that a


fitting lightweight mould can be made. This lncUudual mould together with the correct Hearing Aid is the only truly satisfactory answer to your problem.


“When can all this be done?’’ There are three alternatives You can arrange to see MR. R.
