Customer Story: Peter Herlihy | Ceretone Core One Pro CIC Hearing Aid

Model tested: Core One Pro

Many people want hearing support that improves clarity without feeling bulky or difficult to wear. For Peter Herlihy, comfort and discretion were especially important. After trying NHS hearing aids, he found that while they helped increase volume, they were not always comfortable for his lifestyle.

“I got NHS hearing aids around six months ago, and they’re OK in terms of upping the volume, but I was finding them quite bulky and uncomfortable.”

— Peter Herlihy

Looking for a more comfortable hearing aid

Peter found that wearing glasses made behind-the-ear hearing aids more difficult. With limited space behind the ear, glasses and a hearing aid can sometimes feel awkward together. This also affected his confidence when taking part in activities such as badminton.

“When you wear glasses, there isn’t a lot of behind-ear room for them and a hearing aid. I often play badminton but never wear them for that because I fear they’d bounce around.”

— Peter Herlihy

For anyone who wears glasses, plays sport, or simply wants a hearing aid that feels less noticeable, an in-ear option like the Core One Pro can offer a more discreet and comfortable alternative.

A discreet in-ear hearing aid

One of the biggest benefits Peter noticed was how easy the Core One Pro was to put in. Instead of sitting behind the ear, the hearing aid fits directly in the ear, helping it feel simple and unobtrusive during daily use.

“The Core One Pros are really easy to put in. It’s just a little cylinder that fits in your ear, and that’s it.”

— Peter Herlihy

This makes the Core One Pro a strong choice for people searching for a discreet in-ear hearing aid that is easy to wear throughout the day.

Barely visible and comfortable to wear

Discretion was another major advantage for Peter. Once fitted, he found the Core One Pro was barely noticeable, making it easier to wear confidently at home, outdoors, and in social situations.

“They’re so discreet when they’re in that you can barely see them. They’re also perfectly comfortable.”

— Peter Herlihy

Comfort matters when choosing a hearing aid, especially if you plan to wear it for long periods. The Core One Pro is designed to offer a simple in-ear fit that supports everyday use without the bulk of a behind-the-ear device.

Everyday hearing support at home, outdoors, and socially

Peter tested the Core One Pro in a range of everyday situations, including at home, while walking, and when out socially. Across these settings, he found that the hearing aids performed very well.

“I wore them at home, out walking and when out socially and they performed very well.”

— Peter Herlihy

For customers looking for a practical hearing aid for everyday life, the Core One Pro offers discreet support across common listening environments.

A hearing aid suitable for an active lifestyle

Peter’s experience also shows why comfort and fit are so important for people with active lifestyles. After avoiding his previous hearing aids during badminton, he felt confident enough to keep using the Core One Pro in the future, including during sport.

“I’ll definitely be continuing to use them in the future — even for badminton!”

— Peter Herlihy
