Signs you need a hearing test

Trouble hearing phone conversations
You struggle to follow conversations on the phone, asking people to repeat. You may turn the volume up or use loudspeaker to hear better.
Difficulty hearing in noisy places
You have difficulty understanding or following a conversation in noisy environments such as cafes and restaurants.
Asking people to repeat
You may feel like others are mumbling or not speaking clearly, leading you to frequently ask them to repeat themselves.

Very friendly professional informative session. Sorry I forgot the gentleman's name who dealt with me , but he was the ultimate professional. I would recommend this ear wax removal clinic to all my friends family and work colleagues. Ten ⭐.
I got an appointment within 24 hours for wax removal. The audiolgist was friendly and very professional. Careful and meticulous. Showed me before and after photos. Explained everthing and answered all my questions. Offered free hearing test and made follow up appointment for a weeks time.
No complaints. Just a shame this could not have been done on the NHS.

“Very thorough hearing assessment”
Very thorough hearing assessment. Ibrahim spent a long time going through my needs with regard to my hearing loss before he gave me the hearing test. He gave me some hearing aids to try with no obligation, not pushy at all. Huge difference from the NHS aids I have at the moment. If you’re looking for someone to test your hearing I’d definitely recommend Direct Hearing Care.
