Hear every word again. Nobody has to know.
Certified hearing aids for mild to moderate hearing loss. Invisible in the ear, ready in minutes, and thousands less than the clinic.
You laugh a half-second after everyone else.
Because you are copying the room. The television goes up a notch a year. You say "sorry?" twice, then stop asking and nod instead. Sunday lunch gets loud, then exhausting, then easier to skip.
It is not that you stopped caring. Following the chatter turned into work, and pulling away felt kinder than asking one more time. Then one day your granddaughter says something on the phone and you realise you have been guessing for years.
One thing to know before you buy. A hearing aid does not give you twenty-year-old ears. In a packed pub with a hard floor, nothing at any price pulls one voice out of eighty. What it gives back is the table, the phone and the television, which is exactly where the missing was happening.
Same invisible pair. Two ways to set it.
Certus One is set once by hand and forgotten. Certus Pro is checked and tuned to each ear from your phone. Both are certified, rechargeable, and sit where nobody can see them.
Certus One
One button, no app, nothing to learn. Charge the case by the kettle, put them in with the tea, hear the whole table.
Certus Pro
A five-minute hearing check on your phone tunes each ear on its own, so the weaker ear gets more help. Four listening modes match the sound to the room you are in.
You hear the words, not the room.
Cheap gadgets turn everything up at once, which is why the kettle ends up as loud as your grandson. ClearVoice™ SpeechLift works the other way round, and every Certus pair carries it.
- 01
It finds the voice
Speech lives in a narrow band of frequencies. ClearVoice™ listens for that band and separates it from the room around it.
- 02
It lifts the words
The speech band comes up. The clatter, the traffic and the kettle stay where they are, so you hear the sentence instead of the surroundings.
- 03
It settles in
Certus One is set with one button. Certus Pro is tuned once from its app. Either way, they get on with it from the first conversation, and your own voice sounds normal again inside a few days.

The wedding speech. The blackbird. The bowls club.
Wore them to my grandsons wedding
My daughter ordered these for me about six weeks before my grandsons wedding because she said she was fed up of me missing things. I only put them in on the morning to keep the peace. I heard the whole of the best mans speech. Normally I sit and laugh when everyone else laughs and hope for the best. If you are on the fence, get them before whatever it is you are dreading, not after.
The blackbird out the back before the alarm went
Daft thing to write a review about but that's the one that got me. I sat up in bed on the second morning and there it was in the tree by the shed, and I have lived in this house since 1988. Voices are the reason you buy them. The rest of it is the bit that catches you out.
Half the price of what the clinic quoted, works fine
Two appointments, hearing test, then the man came back with a quote for £2,300 for the pair and started talking me through a payment plan. I never went back. In the house they are very good, on the phone they are very good, in a restaurant I can hear the person opposite me which is the thing I actually wanted.
Very good, and here is the honest limit
At the table, on the phone, in the car, in the church hall, all better than I expected. In the club on a Friday with two hundred people in and a hard floor, they help and they don't fix it. I knew that going in and I am still giving four rather than five because I think the page could say it more plainly.
Stopped me hiding away
Over about two years I stopped going to things. Not a decision, I just kept finding reasons. My son bought me these in May. Took about four days before they felt normal. I rang my sister last week and we were on the phone for over an hour. Ive started going back to the Tuesday group. That is all really.
Halfway there and I will say so
Quiet room, good. Phone, good. Anything with more than two voices in it, no real change at all. Three stars is exactly how I feel about them, which is half of what I wanted at a fraction of the price of the other road. I'm not sending them back and I am not going to pretend they sorted it either.
Most cheap hearing aids make everything louder. Good ones make speech clearer.
In clinic I fit hearing aids every day, and the question is always the same: does the processing lift speech, or does it just make the whole room louder? Certus does the former. And the invisible fit removes the biggest reason people stop wearing them, which is feeling seen wearing them.
Certus started with a drawer.
In it: a pair of devices that cost more than a family holiday, worn twice, abandoned. And next to that drawer, a father who had quietly stopped joining conversations. Who laughed a half-second after everyone else, because he was copying the room.
The clinics wanted thousands to try again. The cheap gadgets whistled and made the kettle as loud as the conversation. So we built the in-between, and named it after the only thing that matters when it is your money and your ears. Certus is Latin for sure.

A clinic gives you ten minutes in a quiet booth. We give you three months of real dinners, phone calls and television. Send them back inside 90 days for a full refund, and if anything goes wrong in the two years after that, we replace it.
The questions people actually ask.
Will people see them?
No. Both Certus One and Certus Pro sit deep in the ear canal in a matte shell that follows your ear. Most people never notice, including the person you are talking to.
What is the difference between Certus One and Certus Pro?
The same invisible, rechargeable pair underneath. Certus One is set by hand with one button and never needs a phone. Certus Pro pairs with a free app that checks each ear, tunes to the result, and switches between four listening modes. Set-and-forget, choose One. Control from your pocket, choose Pro.
Is this a real hearing aid, or just an amplifier?
A real one. Certus One and Certus Pro are certified hearing aids for mild to moderate hearing loss. An amplifier is an unregulated gadget that turns everything up at once. That is the difference you can hear in the first five minutes.
Why is it so much cheaper than the clinic?
Because you are not paying for the building, the receptionist or the appointments. The hardware was never the expensive part of a clinic pair.
Will they whistle?
Only if the tip does not seal. That is why twelve tips in three sizes come in the box instead of one guess. Find the seal and the whistle goes.
Do I need a smartphone?
Not for Certus One. Put them in and they work. Certus Pro uses a free app for its hearing check and modes; if a son or daughter sets it up once, you never need to open it again.
What if my hearing loss is severe?
Then this is the wrong product. Certus is designed for mild to moderate loss. For profound loss, a prescription aid through a clinic is the right route, and sudden hearing loss needs a doctor, not a purchase.
What if they are not right for me?
Send them back within 90 days and we refund you in full. No restocking fee, and a person answers the email.
Tonight's television at a volume the neighbours don't hear.
Ninety days to prove it at your own table. That is the whole offer.
