What We Do

Hearing Aids from all leading manufacturers As an independent practice, we can select the most suitable hearing aids from all leading manufacturers and are not tied to any particular make or brand. Everything from small and discreet custom rechargeable to more powerful hearing aids that sit behind the ear, and we can help. This broad choice to suit you also offers a wide range of prices to meet most budgets.
A Personal Service We appreciate that it can be difficult to decide to wear a hearing aid for the first time, so we make as much time as you need to discuss any concerns you may have and to ensure that you participate fully at every stage of the decision process. You will
Comprehensive Hearing Assessments Your hearing assessment, which is more than a simple hearing check, includes an otoscopic examination of your ears and a thorough hearing test and evaluation. If you would benefit from some assistance, we can discuss the available options with you before deciding upon the most suitable hearing solution for your individual requirements. Our fee for a comprehensive hearing assessment is £75. If requested and only with your consent, we can prepare an Audiogram for your records or forward this to your GP.
Hearing Aid Trial For reassurance, we are happy to offer a two-week trial. We want patients to feel comfortable ahead of reaching a decision. Our fee, including all single-use components, is £150. At the end of the trial, there is no obligation at all.
Full support during acclimatisation Once the hearing aids are fitted and programmed, we will ensure you know how to operate and maintain them and discuss your expectations as you become accustomed to better hearing. We can make any necessary fine-tuning adjustments at follow-up appointments to ensure you get the best possible results.
Aftercare Service To ensure you get the maximum benefit from your hearing aids, we provide a complete aftercare service, including free regular check-ups and reprogramming as required. We know how important this is to a successful fitting. We have the time, experience and expertise to ensure that your hearing aids continue to give you the best possible results. If you need us, just get in touch. Our team is locally based, and we remained on hand for our patients throughout the Covid 19 pandemic.
Repair and Servicing We can handle the servicing/repair of most makes of hearing aids, whether originally supplied by us or not. We can carry out minor repairs at our Centre; otherwise, the instrument will be returned to the manufacturer for repair. Depending on your hearing loss, we can lend you a hearing aid whilst yours is away.
Hearing Accessories We offer a range of batteries, hearing instrument cleaning kits and other hearing accessories, and environmental aids such as TV streamers and telephone amplifiers.
Earwax Removal The gentle and safe removal of soft/hard wax by fully qualified staff using microsuction or a constant flow warm water ear canal irrigation system.
Hearing Protection We can make medical-grade ear impressions which you can take away to send to your ear protection provider, or we can have custom ear moulds made for you. We can arrange for the manufacture and supply of specialist protection for Musicians, Motorsport, Industrial, Sleeping, Swimming and Shooting.
