Our other hearing services : In addition to hearing tests and hearing aids, we offer a full range of hearing care services, all delivered with the same level of clinical expertise and patient-focused care.
Ear wax removal : Excess ear wax can cause discomfort, muffled hearing, and may interfere with the performance of hearing aids. In some cases, it can be the sole cause of hearing difficulties.
We provide safe, effective ear wax removal using the latest recommended techniques. During your appointment, our clinician will assess your ears and select the most appropriate method based on your level of wax build-up, medical history, and ear health.
Following the procedure, we’ll carry out a quick hearing check so you can clearly notice the difference before and after your ear wax removal.
Hearing Protection
Protecting your hearing is just as important as treating hearing loss. Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause permanent damage, making prevention essential. We offer a range of custom hearing protection solutions for musicians, swimmers, people working in noisy environments, and those who regularly attend concerts or live events. These solutions are designed to protect your hearing without compromising comfort or sound quality.
Our audiologist will help you choose the most suitable option for your lifestyle and long-term hearing health.
Tinnitus Consultations
Tinnitus is the perception of sounds such as ringing, buzzing, or hissing in the ears and can have a significant impact on daily life. The first step in managing tinnitus is a thorough understanding of your hearing health. Our audiologist will carry out a free comprehensive hearing assessment and discuss personalised management strategies based on your results, helping you find relief and ongoing support.
