hearing test

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.

AMAZING! Highly recommend, professional service, caring, fully explained, latest technology. Wax removed painlessly, cleanly, quickly, and you can watch the whole process on a screen live! Andrew is a true gentleman.

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.

Alto Hearing are excellent. I was offered a coffee by the friendly & polite receptionist. Megan was brilliant, she performed my wax removal treatment very carefully in a relaxed, but attentive & professional manner. The result was remarkable, I had to turn my car radio down 2 notches on the way home. I just wish more businesses were this good.

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.

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.

After struggling with a blocked ear I called Alto and was immediately put at ease by Clare and an appointment was available the following day. I arrived to a warm and friendly welcome and everything was very quick and efficient. Megan dealt with my problem after putting me at ease, explaining everything and I left so happy and comfortable again! The clinic was lovely and parking easy. Thank you

I was using Otex to soften ear wax which led to almost complete deafness in one ear. I already had an appointment with a well known optician brand but it was ten days hence. I walked in to Alto to see if they could see me sooner and within minutes I was in the chair having the procedure. Expertly accomplished and my hearing is now the best it’s been in years. Totally friendly and professional. Highly recommended.

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

I needed microsuction to remove earwax and managed to get an appointment very quickly at Alto Hearing Market Bosworth. Carl Morley is the most gentle person I have ever had doing this. I highly recommend him, he is both professional and relational. Thank you.

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*
