I arranged a last minute appointment as I was flying the next day and was concerned about the possibility of perforating an eardrum due to pressure behind a build up of wax. I was seen by Marcus. What a genuinely lovely professional person he was. Took time to explain what would be involved with the procedure and checked throughout that I was ok. It was an instantaneous relief when he got the wax out and the tinnitus and slight pain immediately disappeared. I would highly recommend Marcus to anyone who needs his services.

Lovely warm welcome and excellent audiology service from Debbie.
I developed Unilateral Tinnitus in my right ear which was very intrusive hearing a non stop loud hissing/buzzing noise.
Debbie gave some very good advice and did a full audiogram. The ENT consultant found this very helpful.
Highly recommend Church road Hearing care at Ashley Cross Poole.

My experience from initial call to appointment to follow up care has been excellent. Debbie couldn't have been more helpful and reassuring during the whole process.
She resolved an issue I had promptly and efficiently going the "extra mile" to do so.
If you have difficulties with your hearing I cant recommend her highly enough to help you.
Thanks Debbie.

I don't think I've ever had a more thorough appointment to do with my health. It was 90mins with lots of discussion about my hearing and various tests. I learnt so much about how the ear works and felt the examiner was genuinely interested in my hearing issues. The service was excellent in every way.

I had a wax removal service at the West Malling Opticians & Hearing Care recently, and I can not recommend Jay Abbott, an audiologist, highly enough. He was very professional, kind and patient with me, explaining every single step of the procedure and giving further recommendations. Also, the price for the service was fair, in comparison with other clinics in Kent and central London. I will come back there without doubt if any issues occur in the future.

Oticon Real gives realistic sound quality enabling the user to hear all the sounds around them but not compromising on speech clarity. The Real technology also helps reduce the effect of wind noise which is great for those who like to be outdoors! It is a fantastic hearing aid.

To mine and my families frustration I was increasingly asking them to repeat what they had said. Fortunately I didn't have to have the TV volume raised to an annoyingly high level. So I made an appointment with the hearing care partnership and was seen by Liam within a week. He examined my ears,and showed me I had an ear wax problem.He then tested my hearing and showed me the frequencies I was struggling to hear. I was shown the hearing aids available and I selected the ones most suitable for my needs. After a further two appointments,with further ear wax removal,and the hearing aids adjusted to my full prescription,I am now able to have a conversation in a crowded room without struggling to hear the person I am talking too,and nobody has to repeat themselves as much. Liam was excellent throughout my consultation and subsequent appointments.

Great Oticon hearing aids together with first class service from Elaine. Over my series of appointments everything was patiently explained and it was clear from the outset that she has a great depth of knowledge about both the product and hearing difficulties. As this was my first time using hearing aids I was initially a little concerned but my confidence grew as we proceeded and I am delighted with the final result.

Matt Baker in Gnosall Staffordshire was absolutely brilliant he explained all about ears and ear wax and mine was really bad after years of backing up in the ear canal. At my first visit Matt advised he couldn't sort the ear wax until 2 weeks of using drops. I also had a thorough hearing test. Cant recommend the hearing care partnership and Max enough!!!

Matt was incredibly helpful. I have known for a while that I needed hearing aids and had needed to prepare myself for the appt. Matt was great and did a very thorough set of hearing tests, explained all the options available to me based on my home and work needs and overall I felt involved and listened too. No pressure and not rushed. On day two with my new hearing aids and they are amazing. The fitting process was really easy and Matt has followed up already.

These guys are outstanding in every way. Their consultant listened to my story, clarified anything he wasn't 100% sure he'd fully understood, tested my hearing then suggested solutions he thought would be appropriate. And they were. Thanks to THCP I can now hear better than I could ten years ago, and if I need more volume or more clarity I can change the settings of my new hearing aids from my mobile phone. No more NHS batteries either, I can simply recharge them overnight. A week after I took delivery there was a small problem with one of my new hearing aids. It was fixed within 24 hours. So top marks for both pre- and post-sales support. 100% recommended.

Iram Zaman, the consultant was excellent - friendly, approachable and informative. She explained every procedure and prepared me for the sensations I would be experiencing. I have had a blockage in my right ear for several weeks and my hearing has obviously been affected. Iram showed me the pictures of the inside of both my ears so I could understand exactly what the problem was. After the syringing, which was totally painless, the improvement in my ear and hearing was immediate. I had a thorough hearing test and I am aware where my hearing is on 'the normality scale'! I shall continue to have regular hearing tests in the same way my eyes are tested.

I recently had my hearing test with Leanne Corrigan in Enniskillen. I can honestly say, the experience was absolutely fantastic. Leanne was so informative at the outset and explained to me how the human hearing system worked etc. She then went on to carry out various tests which were explained to me throughout the process. After all the tests were completed, Leanne talked me through the results and clearly explained my options. Needless to say, at this moment in time, I did not require any aids however we agreed a follow up appointment in 12 months. Leanne put me at ease, was professional, understanding and so informative. I will be more than happy to recommend her to family and friends. What a pleasant and flawless experience! Carlo

Both my husband and I attended for hearing tests, Mandy, the hearing specialist was very helpful, confident and professional. She explained hearing loss at our age and went through checks and tests to see “the state of our ears” and how our hearing had deteriorated over the years. The tests were very thorough and when later discussing the procedure with our friends it was evident that it was in much more depth than many others had experienced. After the tests Mandy carefully explained the results and even ran through trials with hearing aids to show their potential. However she was in no way “pushy” and in fact recommended that both of us didn’t need aids at present and understood my concerns over the possible use of one aid! The result is we are booked in for another review next year to see if there has been much more deterioration. My option of this experience is very positive and we both now have a much better idea of how a hearing aid can help us, the types of aids are available, costs and long term help. All in all a very valuable experience made much better by a very helpful and understanding specialist.

This examination was excellent and most rewarding. Celeste began by asking about my hearing and matters where it may be especially important such as my pastimes (I forgot to mention my increasing interest in listening to radio recordings and podcasts). She described the steps that the examination would follow and began by inspecting my ears. There was wax that had to be removed and Celeste did that gently and carefully using microsuction. I knew the ears had been well cleaned, not just because of the way they felt, but because Celeste showed me images before and after the cleaning as well as pieces of wax she had removed. She suggested I used a different product for keeping my ears free of excess wax, advice that I have followed. The hearing tests then followed using different sounds at different volumes and recognition of word sounds. It ended with Celeste confirming that my hearing was within normal limits. Later she emailed me a copy of the audiogram to confirm the results. From the outset I found Celeste very approachable and I never felt that I should not ask a question or make a comment. For instance, regarding the hearing tests, I told her that I was conscious that I was tempted to guess some sounds at low volumes; and that when a sound was loud, I would be confident of hearing it when the sound started and indicate my hearing at that point but that when a sound was scarcely audible, I often became aware of the sound only at the point when it stopped: I felt I would be guessing until the sound stopped so I would indicate my hearing at that point. I was reassured when Celine clearly understood what I thought may have been muddled and trivial comments and assured me that the system provided for such possibilities. Throughout the examination Celine showed knowledge and experience both in our conversations and by working in a diligent, methodical way, for me a sign of a professional practitioner. Celeste's attitude and approach gave me complete confidence in the results and left me feeling that the examination had been time well spent.

Went in for wax removal but didn't have any! I have got tinnitus and loss of hearing in left ear. After a few tests it was recommended that I try a hearing aid which would help both problems. After a couple of months the aid has obviously helped my hearing but considerably reduced the tinnitus. Excellent follow-up appointments to see how I'm getting on. Impressed.

Our customers and patients really like the similarity and symbiosis. It’s strengthened our business for the future; increased its value.

I went to thcp at Bridport initially to get some information on invisible hearing aids. I met Kara who was lovely and gave me a very thorough hearing test. Each step was explained fully and ensure I was comfortable. The types of aids and their differences available to me was explained and Kara set me up there and then with a pair to experience the difference between what I had and potentially what I could have. For me the difference was incredible! The sound and clarity was totally unexpected so of course I purchased a pair! The aftercare service is excellent, I had to have a few adjustments and these were checked each time a few weeks later to ensure I was happy. I am now on my 6 month check up. My new hearing aids have made a tremendous difference to my life, they are so neat and comfortable I don’t know I am wearing them, the best thing is I can now hear a telephone conversation straight into my ear piece, AMAZING!

Having had hearing aids for almost twenty years my quest to combat my increasing hearing loss has proven difficult and frustrating. Over recent years, my hearing loss has increased and despite my attempts with a number of providers to improve my situation with new hearing aids and frequent adjustments, it was all to no avail. I know I had reached that point where I was starting to close down. Conversations had become really difficult with constant requests from me for them to repeat what had been said which was frustrating for both sides. My wife suggested that I try Barracloughs in Battle, who are part of the Hearing Care Partnership, so I made an appointment for an hearing assessment. The appointment with their audiologist Celeste De Freitas was very thorough and clearly confirmed the extent of my hearing loss. As a result, I have my new hearing aids and the difference is incredible, no more asking the family to repeat themselves and no more guessing or trying to lip read what people are saying. I can hear bird song and so many other things that I had forgotten about. Thank you Celeste, you have given me my hearing back which has made such a difference in so many ways.

I arranged an appointment with Grichmal at Blaby Leicester. I had been offered a hearing test after my eye test. I was somewhat apprehensive. From the first I relaxed as it immediately became clear that this was a first class professional service. I was shocked when I realised how much I was missing of every day speech. With wearing masks hearing in shops or in groups getting the full story had become frustrating. During the test I realised that I had been lip reading for quite a while and masks made this impossible, hence misunderstandings and not wanting to keep asking for clarification. It was obvious that the free test was offered as a prelude to a sale, but one was never made to feel that it was a commercial exercise. When I was given the hearing aids to try it was like clear mountain air in my head. I did not want to take them out. That sold them. It was only at this point we talked about cost. It frightened me but I decided to go ahead, as the benefits were so great. I was given a day or two to think of the options, then I chose mid range appliances. These have helped greatly and it seems as if all the world has now been to elocution lessons. Part of me still wonders what the top of the range ones would have been like? I was so happy with the wax removal and how pleasantly it was done. That was a surprise, but it did help. I had not realised that would part of the test. I now have the aids and wear them comfortably. The after care and interest has been so personal and helpful, with an extra appointment offered if needed. My husband also had the hearing test. And has the aids now. Our TV volume has halved! Gordon is really enjoying his classical music again, as the whole range of sound is available to him. And we are no longer having to ask each other to repeat things. It has reduced the stresses and frustrations of a senior marriage considerably. Pillow talk is now limited though! That last thought of the day has to wait to the next morning, if we can remember it! Well done, the entire service, Heather and Gordon.

My audiologist Cathy installed the new "My Music" program on my Oticon aids recently - it's an updated music program that has replaced the previous one. I’ve used it quite a lot now and I think it’s excellent. The old one was very good too, and like that one this also completely solves the slight problem of odd spatial effects you get on the standard program with the aids - it's excellent for everyday use and enable you to notice more quiet sounds but for listening to music I find the position of instruments seems to shift about - both versions of the music program stop this happening . But this new one also seems to make the strange vibrato effect you get sometimes a lot less noticeable. The overall frequency balance seems just right to me. It’s such a joy to be able to hear music properly( especially having spent vast amounts of dosh on very good hi fi) despite the hearing damage. Cathy also gave me my annual hearing test (no significant change) and as always it was a pleasure to come in for my appointment. A very big thank you!

A completely thorough examination of my hearing levels. Each element demonstrated to provide compulsive evidence of hearing deterioration together with the impact of this deterioration upon my life. Then an example of how the loss of hearing impacts our life together with research evidence that the loss may contribute to other conditions. A range of aids to assist and improve both hearing and lifestyle. Since being fitted a follow up consultation has been further informative as well as an opportunity to talk through early issues.

Comprehensive assessment, straightforward polite advice and excellent aids supplied. I had given up after trying NHS aids and hadn't realised what I was missing. I don't even realise I am wearing them now.

I visited the Brighouse branch for a hearing test. The staff were very friendly and I was promptly lead to the audiology area, the audiologist, Faisal, was very polite and courteous, he explained everything he was doing and why he was doing it, he firstly checked both ears, showed me the results on a screen, then suction cleaned both ears and again, showed me the results on screen, unbelievably clean. I then had a sound test, again, everything was explained before and then after the test, the details on the graph were daunting, but once Faisal had explained things, it all became a lot clearer. I would certainly recommend service and I will definitely be going back if the needs arise in future. Family and friends have been made aware too. Thank you

I had a hearing test at the Crewkerne practice today (as well as an eye test at the same practice in June). The receptionists were very welcoming. The specialists were friendly, professional and thorough. I really felt they took the time to understand my concerns and offered me lots of practical help and advice. Highly recommended.

I visited the hearing care partnership in Coventry when I was at my lowest point in my Tinnitus journey. I cannot speak highly enough of the audiologist Grichma who was supportive, kind and patient with me. I had a hearing test undertaken, some ear wax removal (through the micro suction) and on the ear sound generators (hearing aids without amplification) purchased (and programmed for tinnitus). Grichma scheduled follow-up appointments to see how I was doing and when I needed filters changing or extra batteries on the in ear sound generators this was swift and efficient. I credit Grichma as one of the key people who has helped me get back to living my life despite my Tinnitus. I would recommend anyone who has any audiology needs to visit her and the hearing care partnership.

This is an excellent service. The audiologist was very professional and knowledgable and made me feel completely at ease. He was highly personable and his approach made the experience pleasurable rather than concerning. He showed the results on the screen and explained everything very clearly. Prior to each test he explained the process very simply and also the purpose of the test. I would recommend this service to anyone.

Brilliant service. Previously went to the doctors who said they wouldn’t wash my ears out. I was really struggling and The Hearing Care Partnership were really professional, explained everything to me. Brilliant results, can now hear again and the hissing has gone. Painless procedure. Well worth the money

I booked a hearing test at my optician, Eyesite Eyecare in Tile Hill Coventry after I had noticed a few minor hearing issues. I was called in advance of my appointment by an audiologist, Haleema Bi who explained what the test involved and asked me some questions about my hearing. At the appointment Haleema was very thorough and professional, she showed me the results of the test on her PC and explained that I would benefit from hearing aids. She suggested the Oticon More hearing aids but didn't pressurise me to buy there and then. She arranged to call me after a few days to answer any questions that I may have which she was able to answer expertly and clearly. I then arranged a call with her a week later at which point I was able to make a more informed decision to proceed. Haleema has been outstanding all through this process, I would not hesitate to recommend her. I have had my hearing aids for 4 weeks now, they are simple to get on with, to clean and they link to my phone through an App meaning I can listen to music or answer the telephone through my new hearing aids.The follow up aftercare has been excellent too. Thank you Haleema and THCP

My first visit to Austin Timoney was by necessity. My hearing had deteriorated significantly and I was a walk in. Over three visits he was able to pinpoint the problems, write a report for my doctor and suggest and fit the correct hearing aids. Once fitted they have been a remarkable success and restored my everyday hearing to a comfortable degree, much to the relief of my wife and the neighbours whilst watching TV. Austin is calm, knowledgeable and friendly and I will continue relying on his expertise in future years.

I recently had a hearing test with Haleema and have to say she was absolutely brilliant. Extremely polite, very thorough and explained everything in detail. I felt totally at ease and would recommend any one who hasn't had a hearing test recently to have one. You just never know what is going on inside your ears!!

All options available were fully explained to me so I could make an informed choice for my lifestyle. I immediately felt the benefits and for the first time in many years I had to request the television volume be turned down, much to the amazement of my family. I would recommend The Hearing Care Partnership to anybody looking for new hearing aids.

I'd been struggling with wax build up and deafness for nearly a year and had had two previous appointments with other audiologists in different companies. Both had insisted on using micro suction even though the sticky nature of the wax made it an uncomfortable and unsuccessful experience. I called THCP and had a telephone consultation with Nikisha Oladipupo who was incredibly thorough and professional, saying that I could have irrigation rather than micro suction. I felt that I was in safe hands and was confident I'd be sorted out this time. It was very easy to book an appointment and the whole process in shop was very safe and Covid conscious. Within minutes of starting the procedure, my right ear was clear. The left ear took a little longer but even so, after just 20 comfortable and painless minutes I could hear again! Delighted!! A hearing test followed and I was not put under any pressure to buy a hearing aid. Nikisha was professional, efficient, friendly and most importantly, successful in clearing the wax. I would give her six stars if they were available and can't praise her highly enough. Thank you Nikisha!! Highly recommended.

I recommend the Widex Moment for individuals with mild hearing loss due to its discreet design and small size. Aesthetics are important to some patients and the Moment delivers a great listening experience while also being pleasing to the eye.

Widex Moment Sheer are popular with people who have a mild hearing loss. The sound is natural but still enhances the frequencies enough for the patient to yield benefit from the hearing aids.

This hearing aid packs a punch and is a go-to for severe hearing loss. There is a lot of room to adjust the features for people who need it. The Phonak Naida™ covers quite significant losses which enables patients using them to hear well

A good hearing aid with those with a budget in mind. People fitted with Zircon get along well with the sound quality.
