Features
The HD151 is made to sit snugly within the average adult-sized ear canal. Ready to be tried at home straight away without the need for an ear impression to be taken. If however, you experience discomfort or unwanted feedback, it comes supplied with a number of different silicone fitting tips (or domes) for an improved fit.
The body (shell) of the HD151 is helpfully coloured red for the right ear, and blue for the left ear - but for most adult ears the only bit that will be visible in the ear is the beige on the front of the aid.
A thin, short pull-cord attached to the outer side of the hearing aid makes removing the HD151 a simple task.
The HD151 is an entry level hearing aid ideally suited to those with a mild to moderate hearing loss. As with the HD91 the amplification profile is pre-set by the manufacturer, and cannot be further adjusted. Higher tones are boosted up more than lower tones, to cater for the difficulties commonly experienced with age-related hearing deterioration.
Noise reduction processing is however more advanced than that of the HD91, and a ‘feedback shield’ helps to keep unwanted whistling to a minimum.
A low battery warning will sound to alert the wearer to change batteries.

FAQs
Here's answers to the frequently asked questions about the HD 151 Digital Hearing Aid
The manufacturer of the HD151 took a large sample of men and women’s ear canals into account to try to find the best average fitting, suitable for as many people as possible. We cant give a guaranteed 100% fit result for all ear canals, but that’s why our 30 day return period allows for a trial in your own ear, in the comfort of your own home.
If anything about the physical fitting or sound is not to your liking, you can return the HD151 for a full refund within the first 30 days of receipt. Please do contact us to see if another product may be better suited, and a further 30 day trial with another product can be arranged.
If an evaluation by a hearing professional indicates that you have hearing loss in both ears, and especially where the degree of loss is similar, two hearing aids are usually recommended.
While it may be tempting to try to limit the cost by going with a single hearing aid, wearing just one hearing aid may not give you maximum benefit in some difficult listening situations.
The following items will need to be replaced on the HD151:
- Hearing Aid Battery: budget 6 batteries per month (6 batteries in a pack)
- Dome: if you choose to use a dome it will need changing every 2-3 months on average
- Wax guard: varies greatly person to person - average change once every 3 weeks (5 Wax guards in a pack)
No on/off switch, just insert battery, close / open battery door
