History
House of Hearing was founded in 1969. It has come a long way since then, now employing 28 staff in 5 clinics across Scotland and the North East of England – Edinburgh, Galashiels, Morpeth, Perth and St Andrews.
If you or a loved one are unable to attend one of our clinics, please contact us to ask about our domiciliary visit service.
"The quality of hearing aids is immeasurably better than those provided by the NHS. The care and service provided by House of Hearing has added greatly to my quality of life; in daily life, concerts, theatre, etc. I very much value the facility to 'drop-in' for checks as and when necessary."
"Regular visits to deal with the build up of wax in my ears has been of great help and given great comfort. The unexpected (to me) discovery of an infection and subsequent treatment by Melanie was very timely and avoided more serious consequences. Much impressed by friendly and helpful staff on all visits."
“At House of Hearing it is not only the friendliness and warmth of welcome that meets you at the door on every occasion, but the technical expertise of the audiologists. They deliver a professional audiology service with integrity and compassion and have dignity and respect at the heart of their business.
Thank you seems so inadequate, but all I can say is:
Thank you House of Hearing for letting me live my life.”
"I very highly recommend the House of Hearing. They are completely focussed on finding the best possible hearing aids for each client’s particular needs, and to this end nothing is too much trouble. The staff are all very friendly and helpful, and one is made to feel part of the House of Hearing family. I can’t praise them highly enough, and in particular Louise, who couldn’t have done more for me”.
"Service and afterservice is great - very professional wax removal. Also very caring."
For many years the most common way of treating patients with blocked ears was to use a big syringe full of warm water to wash the build up of wax out of the ears.
Conductive hearing loss, or CHL, is widely considered by professionals and audiologists to be the most common form of hearing loss.
Hearing loss is an irreversible condition that cannot be cured, but with proper care treatment, it can be managed.
The Diagnosed Ear Infection An ear infection must be taken seriously because the untreated infections in the ear can cause permanent damage.
In the UK, we have about 11 million individuals with hearing loss. Ageing is the most prevalent cause of this hearing loss, and we can do little about it.
Hearing loss is an increasing national health problem. Approximately 1 in 6 adults in the UK are impacted by hearing loss.
This month at House of Hearing, we want to draw attention to Alzheimer's Disease International (ADI)
A 1983 article in The New York Times noted the then-president Ronald Reagan had just been fitted for a hearing aid.
Approximately 30 percent of those in the UK will experience tinnitus at some stage in their life, and about 13 percent (over 1 in 8) are living with constant tinnitus.
1 in 6 of the adult population of the United Kingdom is impacted by hearing loss. This affects communication, relationships, health and even earning power.
You’re already enjoying the convenience and power of rechargeable batteries all of your other devices. Why not do the same with your hearing aid?
