Rexton BiCore

At our centre in Pendik we first carry out a free hearing test; if the device is found suitable, you can then try it in your daily life. For information about this model, you can call us or write to us on WhatsApp.

Assessment and fitting for Rexton BiCore

Most of what you need to know before deciding on Rexton BiCore is about your own hearing. What a hearing aid brings to your daily life depends on your hearing test, the shape of your ear and your habits. Below, we explain how the process works when you come to our centre for this model.

First meeting and hearing test

We start by talking about where you struggle most in daily life: television, busy dinner tables, the phone or car trips, for example. Then your ear canal is checked and a free hearing test is carried out. The test shows the degree of the hearing loss and which sounds it affects most. If you have an earlier hearing test or an ENT report, it is useful to bring it with you.

Assessing the model together

Based on the test results, we discuss if BiCore is a suitable option for you. We suggest asking these questions at this meeting:

• Which housing type is this model used with: behind-the-ear or in-the-ear?
• Is it rechargeable or does it run on batteries?
• Can it connect to my phone or television?
• I have tinnitus: is there a setting option for this?
• How often will the follow-up and maintenance appointments be?
• How will I get supplies such as domes, filters or batteries?

The answers to these questions vary by model and by the option chosen. Our hearing specialist explains them in terms of your own situation.

Trial period

If it is found suitable, the hearing aid is programmed for your hearing loss and you try it in your daily life. In the first weeks, sounds may seem unusual. At follow-up appointments, we listen to your experience and adjust the settings step by step. It is helpful if a family member also comes to the appointments to share what they notice at home.

General care

Whatever design is chosen, wiping the hearing aid with a dry cloth every day, keeping it in a dry case at night and keeping it away from water and heat helps it last. You can drop in at our centre for regular cleaning and check-ups.
