First, we’ll have a conversation about your lifestyle, work and home environment, hobbies, and interests, as well as your medical history, to understand how your hearing may be affecting your daily life and to identify any relevant conditions such as ear infections or tinnitus.
Next, we’ll carry out a thorough assessment, which includes an otoscopy to check the health of your ear canals, a unique tympanometry test to evaluate your eardrum and middle ear function, and pure tone audiometry to measure your hearing thresholds. We’ll also conduct speech tests in both quiet and noisy environments to assess how well you understand speech in real-world situations.
Finally, we’ll explain the results clearly and provide personalised advice tailored to your needs, ensuring you have a complete understanding of your hearing health and the best next steps for you.
If your test detects hearing loss, don’t worry, you’re not alone. In fact, 40% of people over 50 experience hearing difficulties. We offer tailored solutions, from advanced hearing aids to simple earwax removal. Our expert audiologists will guide you through your options with no obligation to purchase.
If hearing aids are recommended, we will guide you through our available options. We offer flexible pricing and interest-free payment plans, along with benefits such as regular free check-ups and a 60-day money-back guarantee on all our hearing aids, ensuring you find the model that best suits your needs.

Many people are worried about using hearing devices. But with brilliant new technology offering discreet styles, hearing aids are far less noticeable nowadays.

If your hearing loss is caused by a build-up of excess wax in the ear canal, your audiologist will discuss options for removal.
At The Hearing Care Partnership, we use the latest and safest technologies to remove earwax, choosing from manual removal, microsuction and water irrigation, depending on what’s best for your ears.
Our earwax removal services cost a flat fee of £70 for an in-practice consultation, and an appointment will take about 30 minutes.

Grisham Trambaclal was excellent very thorough and explained everything to me at depth and put me at ease. Would highly recommend. I saw her at Edmond & slatter in Glenfield.
Amanda Kerr
[...] Overall, I would highly recommend The Hearing Care Partnership for anyone considering a hearing test. The staff's professionalism and the quality of care made the experience stress-free and informative.
Ant Corcoran
An excellent service from the thorough and sensitive hearing test to the efficient fitting and follow up. Claire Francis provided a reassuring approach and made the whole process stress-free.
David Wilson
Shivali Chavda, the audiologist who saw me, could not have been better. She thoroughly explained all aspects of the hearing test and the options available to me. The care and aftercare have been first class. I had previously tried NHS hearing aids but did not get on well with them. I was nervous about spending a lot of money going privately but it has proved to be worth every penny. It is extremely reassuring to know that help is available whenever required and that I will be checked regularly. Highly recommend.
Linnette Ralph
I felt that the hearing test was carried out extremely professionally and competently, with detailed explanations at every stage. I was shown the results and my hearing profile, and the demonstration of what hearing aids could do for me was amazing.
Malcolm Holliday
The hearing test was thorough and covered ear health as well as function. Shellie was brilliant. She was professional, informative and friendly. I would definitely recommend.

This was my first hearing test face to face rather than on line. Ms Siddhrah Malik was truly excellent at her job. I knew at all stages what to expect and why the questions were asked and what the tests were for. I wasn't expecting the thoroughness of the process but could not fault Ms Malik in any way. Not enough stars really.

Our hearing and tinnitus assessments are completely free. And there is no obligation to purchase a hearing aid or use our earwax removal service, even if we recommend these as further treatment. We’re simply here to help and advise what’s best for you!
All together, the hearing assessment takes around 60-75 minutes. And once complete, you’ll receive a full breakdown of your results. We’ll then discuss recommendations on what to do next and whether hearing aids or further treatment would be beneficial to you.
It’s true that your risk of hearing loss increases as you get older: the UK charity Action On Hearing Loss estimates that more than 40% of people over 50 have hearing loss, rising to 71% of people over the age of 70. So it’s tempting to keep putting off getting a hearing test, but the reality is there’s no such thing as being ‘too young’ for a hearing test.
In fact, our audiologists recommend regular hearing tests to anyone over the age of 18, or to anyone who is experiencing signs of hearing loss or changes to their hearing.
All adults are eligible for a free hearing test at The Hearing Care Partnership. You don’t need a GP referral or to go through the NHS, simply book an appointment directly with us. Our friendly audiologists are here to ensure you feel comfortable and supported throughout the process.
It’s a good idea to bring someone with you to your hearing test. Having a friend or family member can provide support, help you remember important information, and assist in discussing any concerns you may have with the audiologist. Their presence can also help ensure that you feel comfortable and relaxed during the appointment.
