The assessment
A thorough assessment, not a quick screening
A clear understanding of your hearing begins with an unhurried, professional assessment. Appointments are conducted by an HCPC-registered audiologist with the time and attention a proper evaluation requires — concluding with results you understand, and advice you can rely upon.
Otoscopic examination
A careful inspection of the ear canal and eardrum. Should ear wax be found to be affecting your hearing, we will advise you before any testing takes place.
Pure-tone audiometry
Precise measurement of each ear’s hearing thresholds across the full speech-frequency range, conducted in a quiet consultation room.
Your results, explained
A considered explanation of your results, together with a written report and your audiogram — yours to keep, and to share with your GP should you wish.

Independent advice
Impartial recommendations, on clinical grounds alone
As an independent practice, we are bound to no manufacturer. Should your results indicate that hearing instruments would be of benefit, our recommendation is drawn from the full range of leading manufacturers — Oticon, Phonak, Signia, Widex and GN ReSound among them — and made solely on clinical grounds. Hearing aids begin from £798 and include a seven-day home trial. Equally, if instruments are not indicated, we will tell you so.
Ear wax removal
Gentle microsuction under direct vision, without water or syringing. From £60
Hearing instrument care
Fitting, programming and aftercare, irrespective of where your instruments were originally supplied.
Tinnitus consultation
Structured assessment and practical management advice from a registered audiologist.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
How long should I allow for the assessment?
Approximately one hour. A diagnostic assessment of this depth cannot responsibly be compressed into a brief screening.
Do I require a GP referral?
No. Appointments may be booked directly, online or by telephone. With your consent, we will provide your GP with a copy of your report.
What happens if ear wax is discovered?
Where wax is obscuring the picture, it can usually be removed by microsuction during the same visit (from £60), allowing your hearing to be assessed accurately once the canal is clear.
How soon can I be seen?
Appointments are generally available within the week across our Monday, Wednesday and Saturday clinics.
Where do I go on arrival?
Kirby Chemist, 53 High Street. Ask at the pharmacy counter and the team will show you through to the consultation room.
