A short appointment. A clear answer.

SoundCheck is where better hearing begins.

This structured, 20-minute complimentary appointment shows you exactly how your ears are performing and whether anything needs attention.

Simple, focused, and led by experienced audiologists, it’s the first step to clarity and peace of mind.

Understand exactly what you need to achieve better hearing

SoundCheck is the point where guesswork stops and you’ll leave with a clear understanding of your hearing.

If no further action is needed, we’ll tell you. If something does need attention, we’ll explain exactly what that involves and what it could achieve.

Lifestyle impact check

We begin by listening to what you’ve noticed and how it’s affecting your daily life. This gives us context and helps guide what we look for.

Ear health check

Using a video otoscope, we inspect your ears together. You see what we see, and we explain everything clearly.

Hearing screening

We run a four-point check across the key speech frequencies. Results are colour-coded, easy to understand, and discussed with you straight away.

Why people book a SoundCheck

Small changes in hearing can creep up gradually. You might notice:

  • Asking people to repeat themselves more often
  • Relying on subtitles when watching TV
  • Turning the volume up higher than before
  • Or simply feeling that something isn’t quite right

If you’re unsure what’s happening, SoundCheck is designed to give you clarity.

Book an in-depth hearing assessment

The Complete Hearing Assessment is designed for people who recognise that something has changed and want clear answers.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Really great experience getting my ear wax removed here. I was able to get a same-day appointment, which was really helpful, and the pricing was very reasonable. They treated both ears rather than just the problem one, which I really appreciated. The staff were friendly and professional, checking on my comfort throughout the appointment. Everything was sorted quickly and efficiently. I’d definitely recommend!

I had a problem with my right ear, not all the time but from time to time. I had an appointment with Carl, who was very professional and made me feel at ease. I had a thorough ear test in both ears and was shown the graph of my hearing. I was very impressed with the test and advised l would benefit from a hearing devise. I would recommend anyone who is suffering from a hearing loss to get tested and to try out the different devises. You may not think you need them but see the difference it could…

I went today to Alto Hearing, Clitheroe for my ears checking and a hearing test. From the minute I walked into the clinic, I was made to feel welcome and put at ease! The whole experience was professional and efficient! I felt no pain during the ear checking and wax removal, and the procedure and findings were fully explained to me! The hearing test was conducted in the same professional manner. I would highly recommend Alto hearing clinic.

I visited Alto hearing in Clitheroe and was so impressed with the professionalism of the staff. I had the ear wax removal and Andrew explained everything to me and even offered a free hearing test which I accepted, which put my mind at ease. Many thanks Jo.

What a wonderful experience. Both ears completely full of wax. Everything explained & beautiful work done by Andrew. Even watched everything being done on a tv. Worth every penny to be able to hear every word spoken to me. Very warm welcome by the receptionist, lovely reassuring chat.

Had noticed my hearing had deteriorated in crowded places. Was recommended to Karl at Alto. After thorough testing my mind was put at rest no pressure for a sale just a genuine interest in my concerns. Karl very patient and professional leaving with an awareness of slight loss and a need for an annual checkup too. Thank you.

Booked an appointment in desperation with deep impacted wax, hearing loss and pain, got an appointment the next day and the price is affordable. The staff are really accommodating, and conversational, Mariia was very gentle with me, and my anxiety faded the more she worked as I could tell she is very professional and good at her craft. As a neurodivergent individual who dislikes physical contact and has issues trusting people with invasive procedures, I highly recommend Alto Hearing to anyone who needs it. Their work is definitely worth the price. :). I can hear better now and my ears…

I attended alto for wax removal today, I was alittle nervous never having it done before but was immediately put at ease by the friendly receptionist. I was promptly seen by Megan who explained everything well and carried out the wax removal which wasn't uncomfortable at all! Very pleased with the service and will definitely return when needed. Highly recommend.

Maria the audiologist was extremely professional, caring and gentle during my procedure and thorough in conducting my hearing test. The receptionist was equally welcoming to the branch and professional in manner. Both put me at ease, explained what would happen and treated me with kindness and compassion. They are both an asset to the business, thank you.

I had severe ear problems of which I now know to be ear wax. I rang for an appointment in the morning and got one for the afternoon. The staff were so pleasant and welcoming I had my treatment completed very swiftly and left me feeling very comfortable. I would recommend Alto Hearing to anyone. Parking was plentiful. The service was quick and the staff were very pleasant. Thank-you for your support.

I recently visited Alto Hearing and couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the moment I walked in, the receptionist made me feel completely at ease — no rushing, just genuine care and expertise. I had microsuction ear wax removal, and the difference is incredible, the audiologist took time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions, the treatment was excellent, no pain and I watched everything on the monitor. The location is convenient, the clinic is modern and spotless, and the follow-up support has been brilliant. If you’re struggling with blocked ears —book with Alto Hearing. Hands down the…

A very relaxing and helpful experience. The hearing checks were thorough and non threatening- the results clearly displayed on the screen and explained in detail. There was no hard sell but information provided for me to make an informed decision. It was a worthwhile appointment. I’m so glad I took the first step towards better hearing .

I visited Carl fir the first time yesterday, with tinnitus and some deafness in my right ear. After a full examination he advised me to see my Dr. as he thought it was an inner ear infection. I took his advice and now have antibiotics. He was such a kind and helpful man. I would definitely recommend him . Helen Robinson.

My wife and I had booked back to back appointments with Carl. We found him to be very friendly and patient and gave very thorough examinations with good explanation of his findings. We feel we were given extensive hearing tests and both have benefited from the microsuction Carl administered. Should we require any further assessments in the future we will definitely return. Thank you Carl

From the moment I walked through the door, i was made to feel very welcome and at ease. Much appreciated the cup of tea that was offered too! Andrew was very knowledgeable and thorough in checking my hearing and ear health, and had no problem updating my existing hearing aid settings. I will have no hesitation in returning and can highly recommend them. A great addition to Clitheroe. 5*
