At Hidden Hearing, we love to give back to the local community, and we are delighted to announce that we have given away over €200,000 worth of hearing since we launched our Campaign for Better Hearing!
This has been a life-changing development for Claire Rusborough - a young mother of three, who regained her hearing through the Gift of Hearing.
Nominate a loved one to receive the gift of free hearing aids
Do you have a loved one whose world has become a bit quieter lately? We understand the impact that hearing loss can have on someone's life. It can be difficult to see our loved one miss out on the beautiful sounds of life due to hearing difficulties. Whether it's the laughter of grandchildren, the melody of a favourite song, or the simple joy of a conversation, hearing loss can significantly impact one's quality of life. That's why we're on a mission to bring the Gift of Hearing to those who need it most. To make a difference in someone's life, simply nominate your loved one for a chance to win free hearing aids.
A whole lot of hearing given away by Hidden Hearing!

Megan Furlong
Megan suffered a scary and sudden onset of hearing loss during the Pandemic, which was caused by trauma to her ears. Megan's whole life changed in an instant when she could no longer hear the world around her. Her days became quiet and insular as she was no longer part of the conversation. Megan is overwhelmed by this life-changing gift from Hidden Hearing and is already noticing a difference to her quality of life. She is currently completing a Masters in Counselling and Psychotherapy and thinks that her new aids will be especially useful in her future career, one which is essentially based on listening. This trendy hearing aid wearer also loved the fact that Oticon's newest BTE Real aids come in 9 cool colour choices – every fashionista’s dream.
Michael McCann
82-year-old school bus driver Michael McCann recently had his fitting in our Cavan clinic, where he received some complimentary Oticon Real hearing aids as part of Hidden Hearing’s Campaign for Better Hearing.
Michael has had a difficult time of it the past few years, even though he's always doing good for others. He lost two fingers whole mowing a lawn for a friend who had cancer and underwent a hip replacement last year. So, it was about time that Michael's luck started to change for the better!
Michael was suffering from such severe untreated hearing loss
that he hadn't quite grasped that he had won free hearing
aids when he was told over the phone! Needless to say, he’s over-the-moon with his new hearing aids and can now hear properly again.
Úna Walsh
Fourteen-year-old Úna Walsh struck a chord with millions of TV viewers when she performed ‘A Million Dreams’ from ‘The Greatest Showman’ on her harp during this year’s Late Late Toy Show. Úna and her mum Barbara attended our Wexford clinic yesterday to get the young musician fitted with some new Oticon More hearing aids by local audiologist Stephen Kelly. Oticon aids have world class hearing technology, with advanced Bluetooth device that supports how the brain naturally works. This allows wearers to experience a full and rich sound scene with complete clarity. Úna's new rechargeable aids also have a Connect Clip that she can use in her classroom in school which adds to their effectiveness and efficiency. We hope you love them Úna!
Louis Moore
20-year-old Louis Moore has suffered from hearing loss for as long as he can remember. His earliest memories of hearing loss are from primary school. He would always sit towards the front of the class and had to face his good ear to the teacher which meant that it was difficult for him to read the board. Louis grew tired of asking people to repeat themselves constantly. Louis’s mother recommended hearing aids, but Louis was terrified of the stigma associated with them.
Louis is now studying medicine in college. Louis loves listening to music but removing his hearing aids to insert earphones makes losing them a real concern. Louis’s new Oticon More hearing aids have in-built Bluetooth technology which allows a seamless connection between the aids and smart devices. Plus, they are so small he is not conscious anymore!
Grainne Hines
Congratulations to Gráinne Hines - a very worthy Gift of Hearing recipient. Gráinne is committed to giving back to her local community and is keenly involved with her local Active Retirement Group. Gráinne’s hearing loss impacted her ability to take part in the group's Zoom calls during Lockdown and severely impacted her ability to effectively promote the work that her organisation does on local radio. Gráinne's new state-of-the-art hearing aids will help her to get her life back on track. Oticon hearing aids contain high-spec technology that allows the user to connect their hearing aids to their smart phone, tablet, laptop or tv and sound can be streamed directly to the ear. Social settings and phone calls will be handled with ease with the Oticon's background noise reducing feature. And the best part is they’re rechargeable!
Paddy Conaghan
Paddy Conaghan took on a remarkable challenge last December by taking a dip and a dive in every beach in Ireland in aid of mental health service - Gemma's Legacy of Hope.
While the Arranmore Island native was rising to the challenge and raising funds for this worthy cause, he lost his hearing aids! Hidden Hearing's Galway branch came to the rescue, thanks to their Clinic Coordinator Aoife. Paddy was given the Gift of Hearing just in time for Christmas!
