Hearing Tests
At The Hearing Specialist we believe hearing tests should be in total comfort. That is why we can perform them in our specialist branch or in the comfort of your own home. In just over an hour we can check the overall health of your hearing and explain what steps you should take to care for your individual needs.
Hearing Aids
Looking for hearing aids in Wimbledon?
2020 has seen a huge leap for hearing aid technology. Hearing aids can now fit your lifestyle perfectly and improve the parts of your life that matter most from telephone conversations to busy social situations.
Once your hearing test is completed, we may suggest hearing aids to help improve your ability to hear. We don’t just fit you with any old technology though, we will consult with you on your needs and requirements before making a recommendation on a hearing aid type that suits you best.
Earwax Removal
Microsuction ear wax removal can be performed whenever required. Some people even have the treatment multiple times per year. As the microsuction removal treatment is a far more gentle procedure than other types of ear wax removal, there is no real limit to the amount of times you can have your excess wax removed.
Booking for ear wax removal at our Wimbledon clinic are available at short notice, and you can contact us at any time to arrange a suitable appointment. We are here to help.
