Depending on the type of appointment our hearing test ranges from 15 minutes for a basic test to 1 hour for a more comprehensive test.

Hearing aids are designed to help you hear more clearly and easily. They are very sophisticated automatic devices that ensure that loud sounds do not hurt your ears. In fact, research has shown that hearing aids keep the hearing nerves and regions of the brain stimulated, which slows down the natural deterioration of hearing. Hearing in people who regularly wore hearing aids didn’t deteriorate as quickly or as much as it did in people who didn’t wear hearing aids.

No doctor or GP referral is needed for your appointment. However In some circumstances your doctor may refer you to undergo a hearing assessment. They may require certain tests to be carried out. Please inform our friendly team if you have been referred to us by your doctor or specialist.

Ear wax is normal, and is produced to protect our ear canals from bacteria, water and foreign bodies. Our ears naturally clean themselves out over time as the skin in the ear canals grow outwards, so there is no need to actively remove the wax unless there is a blockage.

Cotton buds are commonly used to keep the ears clean, however they can push the wax further in or cause damage to the ear canal and eardrum. There is no safe way to remove your own ear wax without being able to see inside your ear canals.

We offer safe wax removal via micro-suctioning, where you can visualise your ear canals before and after the procedure.

If you have hearing devices, please remember to bring them along to all appointments.

We also warmly invite you to bring your significant other or a loved one along with you to your appointment for support.

Hearing aids are effective in relieving tinnitus for most people by restoring sound awareness of ambient and external sounds.
