What can I expect when I attend to find out about hearing protection?
You will be greeted by one of our friendly, fully trained reception team and introduced to your Senior Audiologist who will assess the health of your ears.
Your Audiologist will ask you some questions about your hearing and what you will use the hearing protection for to ensure that they recommend the best solution for you. You may feel that you would benefit from a hearing screening where your Audiologist can carry out an abbreviated hearing test to check for any hearing loss while you are in the clinic.
Once you and your Audiologist have agreed on the appropriate solution, the Audiologist will arrange for hearing protection to be ordered.
To ensure that your hearing protection moulds fit you perfectly the Audiologist will take an aural impression of each ear canal, by placing a small foam block into the ear canal before syringing a small amount of soft impression material into the outer part of the ear canal.
Once set this will be removed and sent away to the laboratory for a technician to make the instruments to your chosen design and fit.
Your Audiologist will then arrange a follow up appointment so that your bespoke hearing protection moulds can be fitted for you.
"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."
All House of Hearing clinics are in town centre locations and accessible to public transport and parking. Home visits also available if mobility is an issue.
