Question 1

Do I need an audiologist prescription before getting a digital hearing aid?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Prescription digital hearing aids are classified as precision medical instruments. Unlike over-the-counter sound amplifiers, prescription devices must be calibrated to your exact audiometric frequency loss curve to protect residual hearing and ensure speech clarity in noisy environments.

Question 2

What is the difference between rechargeable and zinc-air battery hearing aids?

Accepted Answer

Rechargeable devices (such as Widex SmartRIC and Signia Styletto IX) feature sealed lithium-ion cells that recharge overnight in portable charging cases. Zinc-air models (using sizes 10, 13, 312, or 675 batteries) offer rapid battery swaps and are preferred by patients who travel frequently or need instant continuous power.

Question 3

How long does a comprehensive diagnostic hearing test take at Ensound?

Accepted Answer

A full clinical evaluation—including Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA), Tympanometry, and speech recognition testing in our sound-treated room—typically takes 30 to 45 minutes. Our audiologist discusses the audiogram results with you immediately.

Question 4

Can I test and compare different hearing aid models during my consultation?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. During your clinical fitting session at our DHA Phase 1 clinic, we provide live demonstrations of flagship models from leading manufacturers (Widex, Signia, Oticon, Bernafon), allowing you to experience sound processing, background noise reduction, and smartphone Bluetooth connectivity firsthand.

Question 5

What warranty and aftercare support is provided with hearing instruments?

Accepted Answer

All prescription hearing instruments dispensed by Ensound Hearing Centre come with a standard 1-year manufacturer warranty, 6 months of batteries included, custom ear molds, 4 weeks of follow-up fine-tuning sessions, and 1 year of free consultancy and reprogramming.

Question 6

What hearing aid brands does Ensound carry in Lahore?

Accepted Answer

Ensound Hearing Centre dispenses genuine hearing aids from Oticon, Widex, Signia, Bernafon, ReSound, Philips, Rexton, and Audio Service. All devices are sourced through genuine channels with full manufacturer warranty.

Question 7

How much do hearing aids cost in Pakistan?

Accepted Answer

Hearing aid prices in Pakistan range from ₨15,000 for basic digital devices to ₨600,000+ for premium AI-powered rechargeable models (quoted per single piece / per ear). Prices depend on the technology tier, brand, and unilateral vs. bilateral fitting needs. At Ensound, every purchase includes free diagnostic assessment, Real-Ear Measurement fitting, and aftercare.

Question 8

Are hearing aid prices in Pakistan quoted per piece or for a pair?

Accepted Answer

Hearing aid prices in Pakistan are quoted per piece (single unit for one ear). Because hearing loss is typically asymmetrical, each ear requires an individualized prescription, custom ear mold, and independent acoustic calibration. Bilateral fittings for both ears require two synchronized units.
