April 2008

From ferrules and drinking cups to wheelchairs and loop systems....these are all available to view and try before purchasing. We know that there are many mail-order companies out there who invite you to buy without trying their products or discussing the relative merits of specific items. We do not work that way. We are proudly independent and have access to a large number of companies and will always offer you the best value.

There is a vast range of motorised scooters on the market, which are heavily-advertised in the national and local press. It is important to discuss with us, fully, about your needs, before we all come to a conclusion. Because of the experience of our staff, they place your needs first in their thoughts. We are not allied to any company so can offer you an unbiased opinion. The most expensive is not always the best for you!

Our recent display of some of these items at the Regent Centre, Kirkintiloch, was a great success, and we met many of our existing customers and also a number of new ones....

******************************************

Did you know that we also supply wheelchairs and motorised scooters ? Because we are independent we can access all makes and so provide you with one which is best suited to your needs. We also offer a 'Check-over' facility, and will advise of any parts which might require replacement.

We can also supply replacement power packs...just let us know the model, for a price.

The question of second-hand scooters etc, is regularly asked. The problem here is that our insurers would be unhappy at us supplying items which might be faulty from some defect which could not be seen when the item was brought-into us. We therefore have to respectfully decline the apportunity to purchase such items for resale. We would suggest that you advertise locally in the press, but would also have to suggest that you include a disclaimer when you sell the item, to protect yourself against possible injury to a purchaser, due to a mal-function.

*******************************************

This newly-introduced range of products runs in parallel with our long-established catalogue for deaf and hard-of-hearing people. Our premises have been extended to give us a display and demonstration area where you can 'see and try, before you buy'.

We like people to feel free to drop in, but for professional advice without interruption, it is best to ask for an appointment...call Stuart (who knows what he is talking about!) on 0141 775 2365.

Because we have been helping people for some twenty-three years, we have been able to observe not only their hearing situation, but also many other problems which can appear, as age, or any other physical or mental problem progresses.

Concerns over loss of memory, declining sight, lack of exercise, general health, absence of the benefits of sunlight, manipulation skills, worries about personal and household protection etc., all make life a little bit insecure.

We have tried to address these problems with our comprehensive range of assistive devices. They are simple to use, easy to maintain and available at low cost...and they make great presents for a loved one!
