Non-Prescriptive Hearing Devices
Many people delay seeking help for hearing loss, on average, for 7 to 8 years. Why?
Often, the hearing loss feels “not bad enough,” doesn’t seem to affect daily life, or comes with reluctance to accept wearing traditional hearing aids.
At The Studio Goostrey, we provide a positive alternative: non-prescriptive hearing devices. Much like ready-to-wear reader glasses, these discreet devices offer a simple boost in clarity, especially in social settings.
They’re small, virtually invisible, and provide patients with a practical way to begin their journey toward better hearing, without the immediate commitment of purchasing prescriptive hearing aids.
What Are Non-Prescriptive Hearing Devices?
Non-prescriptive hearing devices are designed for individuals with mild hearing loss who wish to enhance their hearing in everyday situations. Unlike custom-programmed hearing aids, these devices are ready-made and provide general amplification.
At The Studio Goostrey, our audiology team helps patients select and fit the right device, ensuring safe use and realistic expectations.

Discreet design – small and virtually invisible.
Immediate clarity boost – ideal for conversations and social occasions.
Professionally guided – fitted with audiologist advice for comfort and safety.
Confidence builder – helps users adapt before moving to prescriptive hearing aids if needed.
