The Autumn Hearing Event at Buchanan Audiologists
Hear every moment that matters.
If conversations are becoming harder to follow, the television is creeping louder or loved ones have suggested a hearing check, this is the ideal time to understand what is happening - and experience how much modern hearing technology has changed.
Event offer: save £50 on a full hearing assessment
and £400 on a pair of hearing aids if you proceed during the event.

Unhurried Appointments
Hearing changes gradually. Most people wait longer than they should.
The most common reason people delay is that they can still hear sounds - they just can't always make out the words. So they adjust, compensate and get by. Until getting by becomes harder work than it should be.
Modern devices can be discreet, comfortable and personalised to your hearing and lifestyle.
You ask people to repeat themselves more than you used to.
Restaurants and busy spaces feel tiring rather than enjoyable.
The television is louder than others would like.
You follow most of the conversation but miss parts of it.
You find yourself avoiding situations where hearing is difficult.
You rely on others to fill in what you missed.

What Makes The Event Different
Why book during the event rather than at any other time?
A hearing assessment at Buchanan is always thorough, unhurried and personalised to the individual. That doesn't change during the event. What does change is what's on offer alongside it.
The financial saving is straightforward: £50 off the assessment and £400 off a pair of hearing aids for anyone who books and attends between 6th October to 9th October. Both end when the event does.
The other reason is the chance to compare. During the event, you can see and try the latest technology from Starkey, Phonak and Oticon in a single visit, with Eilene on hand to explain honestly what each one does well and which is the better fit for your specific hearing and lifestyle. Because Buchanan is an independent practice with no commercial tie to any manufacturer, that comparison is genuine rather than guided in any particular direction.
If you've been telling yourself you'll get round to it, this is a practical reason to stop waiting.
More than a hearing test
Hearing isn't simply about volume.
It's about following the punchline, joining in at dinner and hearing the people you love without constantly working to keep up. Most hearing screenings take around fifteen minutes and test both ears together. At Buchanan, each ear is assessed individually, which gives a more accurate picture of where any loss actually sits and what's driving it. The appointment runs for around an hour, which is long enough to assess properly, explain the results clearly and have a real conversation about what comes next.
Eilene doesn't use clinical shorthand. She'll explain what she's found in plain terms, what it means in everyday life and what the realistic options are - based on your hearing levels, the situations you find most difficult and your personal preferences. There's no pressure to decide anything on the day. Any next step is entirely yours.
Better hearing is about taking part in conversations without constantly working to keep up.

Modern hearing technology is smaller, smarter and more natural than most people expect.
The gap between what people imagine hearing aids to be and what they actually are in 2026 is considerable. Current devices from Starkey, Phonak and Oticon can adapt automatically as you move between a quiet room, a group conversation and a busy public space - without needing to be adjusted manually. They're built specifically to make speech easier to follow in difficult listening situations, not simply to make everything louder. And they're far more discreet than the hearing aids most people picture; slim behind-the-ear options sit close to the head with a thin wire to the canal, while custom in-the-ear devices are moulded to fit inside the ear itself, largely out of sight.
During the event you can handle and compare all three manufacturers side by side. Because Buchanan doesn't have a commercial relationship with any single brand, the conversation is honest - about what each device does, how it performs in the situations you actually find difficult, and whether it's the right fit for you.
Technology can automatically adapt as you move between quiet rooms, family gatherings and busy public spaces.
Choose from slim behind-the-ear options or custom devices made to sit inside the ear, depending on your needs.
Premium technology is designed to support speech understanding and reduce the effort of listening in challenging situations.
See the new Phonak EON range at our Autumn Hearing Event
We’ll be showcasing Phonak’s new EON hearing aids throughout the event, giving you the chance to see the
technology up close and find out how it could support your hearing.
The range includes:
Audéo EON Sphere
Phonak’s most advanced EON model, using AI to reduce surrounding distractions and make speech easier to follow in noisy places. This model is 25% smaller than the previous generation.
Audéo EON R
A compact, rechargeable hearing aid that adapts automatically to different listening environments for clearer, more natural sound.
CROS EON
Designed for people with unaidable hearing loss in one ear, transmitting sound from that side to a compatible Audéo EON R hearing aid.
The EON range offers universal Bluetooth connectivity, access to Auracast broadcast audio and up to 38 hours of battery life on selected models.
During your appointment, Eilene can explain the differences, show you how the devices work and advise whether one may suit your hearing and lifestyle.
Reserve your assessment to experience the new Phonak EON range during the event.
Eilene Dyason
Choosing hearing care is about more than technology. It's about feeling properly listened to, receiving honest advice and having confidence in the person looking after you.
Eilene is a qualified Consultant Audiologist who takes time to understand not just your test results, but the situations in which you find hearing most difficult. The recommendation you leave with is based on that full picture, not just the audiogram. Every option is explained in plain language, and there's no pressure to make a decision before you're ready.
"Our aim is to help you understand your hearing and your options - not to pressure you into a decision."

Why patients choose Buchanan Audiologists
Being independent matters. Buchanan isn't tied to any single manufacturer, which means Eilene can recommend whatever suits your hearing and your life rather than working from a restricted range tied to commercial agreements.
Appointments run considerably longer than a standard hearing screening, which means there's time to assess properly, explain clearly and answer questions without anyone watching the clock. You'll see the same person at each visit, someone who builds up a picture of your hearing over time and notices subtle changes rather than starting from scratch each time.
And there's no pressure at any stage. What you choose to do with your results is always your decision, made in your own time.
