Why deal with us instead of a national company? Three reasons - Price, Choice and Aftercare.
Compared to dealing with most of the national companies you could reduce the purchase cost of hearing aids by 20-50%, that can equate to a very substantial saving. Also, most of the national suppliers supply from a very limited number of manufacturers, and even then not the full range of hearing aids available from the manufacturers they use. We supply the full range from all the manufacturers available. This, along with Discount Hearing Aids commitment to excellent aftercare makes us the number one choice.

Kirkcaldy is a town and former royal burgh in Fife, on the east coast of
Scotland. The town lies on a shallow bay on the northern shore of the Firth
of Forth and is the largest settlement between the cities of Dundee and
Edinburgh. The name of the town is believed to have derived from the Pictish
words Caer and Caled and may translate as "place of the hard fort" or "place
of Caled's fort". Kirkcaldy has long been nicknamed the Lang Toun Scots for
'long town') in reference to the 0.9 mile (1.4 km) main street of the early
town, depicted so on maps as early as the 16th and 17th centuries. The
street would eventually reach a length of four miles (6.4 km). According to
an estimate taken in 2008, Kirkcaldy has a population of 48,630, making the
town the largest settlement in Fife.
Towards the end of the 11th century, Malcolm III purchased the land around
the modern town to gift to the monks of the church of Dunfermline (now known
as Dunfermline Abbey). A linear settlement began to form around a harbour on
the East Burn. Early industries which soon prospered in the town included
the production of textiles, nailmaking and salt panning. The passing of
feu-ferme status in the middle of the 15th century meant the town became
semi-independent from the monks of Dunfermline Abbey. Full independence was
achieved by a charter for royal burgh status granted by Charles I in 1644.
During the late 19th century, the town became a prosperous centre of
linoleum. Originally developed in the town as floorcloth, this was quickly
dominated by the Michael Nairn & Co. After the Second World War, a plan saw
new housing estates being built to the north-west of the town along with
multi-storey flats and the redevelopment of older areas such as Gallatown,
Sinclairtown and Pathhead. The population of the town was expected to reach
between 55,000 and 70,000, but this never materialised as the production of
linoleum, the town's primary industry, declined in the middle of the 1960s.
Today, the town is a major service centre for the central Fife area.
Kirkcaldy is home to an art gallery and museum, a large ice rink, three
large public parks (Beveridge, Dunnikier and Ravenscraig), two golf courses,
a swimming pool, major shopping facilities and the annual Links Market;
Europe's longest street fair. The Adam Smith College also has a presence in
the town with two campuses (St Brycedale and Priory). Employment within the
town is now dominated by the service sector; the largest employer being MGT
(call centre). Other large employers in the town include Victoria Hospital,
Forbo-Nairn (floor coverings), Kingdom Bakeries (food and drink) and Kingdom
Homes Ltd (residential and Nursing Homes).
