Your Free Hearing Test

Our complimentary hearing assessments are designed to be relaxed, friendly, and thorough. Lasting around 45–60 minutes, each appointment gives you time to talk, ask questions, and get clear answers about your hearing health.

During your visit, we'll

  • Chat about your hearing and any changes you’ve noticed
  • Gently examine your ears and ear canals
  • Carry out a detailed hearing test with the latest equipment
  • Review your results together
  • Offer honest advice tailored to your needs

Even if you think your hearing is fine, regular checks can help spot changes early and protect your hearing for the future.

Gentle & Effective Wax Removal

Sometimes, hearing problems are caused by nothing more than a build-up of earwax. Our professional microsuction service quickly removes excess wax using a gentle suction device - without the need for water.
‍
It’s safe, comfortable, and ideal for those with sensitive ears or hearing aids. In most cases, you’ll notice clearer hearing immediately after your appointment, which usually takes around 15 minutes.
