Bernafon Hearing Aids in High Wycombe
At Buckinghamshire Hearing, we are proud to offer the full range of Bernafon hearing solutions, delivering natural sound and excellent value from our independent clinic in Loudwater.
Founded in 1946 in Bern, Switzerland, Bernafon is a key brand within the Demant Group, a world-leading hearing healthcare company that also owns Oticon. This Swiss heritage is reflected in their commitment to precision engineering and quality. Bernafon has a global presence, providing hearing solutions that aim to deliver natural sound and improve the quality of life for people with hearing loss.
As a fully independent audiology clinic, Buckinghamshire Hearing offers unbiased access to all major hearing aid brands, including Bernafon. Our audiologists in High Wycombe often recommend Bernafon for its strong performance and value. We follow a strict best practice process, including Auditory-Reasoned Programming (ARP), to ensure your hearing aids are programmed perfectly for your unique needs, without any manufacturer bias.
What makes Bernafon distinctive is its ChannelFree signal processing and Dynamic Environment Control System (DECS), which work together to provide a more natural and less processed sound quality. This approach is particularly beneficial for users who find other hearing aids sound artificial. Their devices are ideal for those seeking a balance of advanced technology and straightforward, effective performance in various listening situations.
