The most important thing we offer is the time to truly understand the areas you are looking to improve. Together we will create some goals and work towards helping you to reconnect with your world.
How we can help with your hearing.
We offer three different types of hearing assessment, to meet your individual requirements.
Whether it’s a quick check on your hearing, a test result needed for work, or perhaps you require a full evaluation – we cover all bases.

£110 Time: 1.5-2 hours
Our premium hearing assessment includes:
A consultation with our audiologist helps us to understand your lifestyle and the functional and emotional impact of hearing loss in everyday scenarios, from conversations to navigating spaces.
We take the time to understand you, your lifestyle, and the areas where you would like to improve your hearing, identifying the key priorities. We will also discuss relevant medical history with you.
We will conduct an examination of the outside and inside of your ears using a video otoscope, so you can also see what we are looking at on a big screen.
We will also check eardrum movement to ensure everything is working as it should.
If there is any excessive ear wax present, we will remove it, where possible.
Hearing tests include full pure tone audiometry (air conduction and bone conduction) and masking, where required, to determine your hearing thresholds.
By identifying the softest sounds you can hear in a quiet environment, our precise tests chart your hearing thresholds across a range of different frequencies. This offers us a clear picture of your hearing capabilities.
Our intelligibility testing uncovers the difference between just hearing sounds and truly listening to speech, whether it’s in quiet or there’s noise around you.
Our detailed testing pinpoints your ability to discern and interpret speech in various environments.
Assessing tinnitus is key to your overall hearing comfort.
Where relevant, we will measure the impact of tinnitus on your wellbeing, guiding you towards managing this often persistent condition.
Where indicated, our live assessment allows us to understand how well you respond to hearing aid amplification.
This will guide us when advising you on the most suitable technology for your needs. It will also offer you an initial impression of the hearing aid benefits achievable.
A comprehensive report document will be provided, giving you a breakdown of your hearing test results, and recommendations for potential treatment plans.
We will also make any referrals to other medical professionals, as required.
