September 27, 2022Our (Responsible) Fiscal Statement
At Hearing Healthcare Practice, we appreciate there is so much, often too much, information on the internet, some of it helpful, some of it utterly misleading. Our goal is not only to help our clients but also to act as audiology guides helping them navigate the mass of information sources – good, bad, and terrible. One area which understandably raises...
September 23, 2022Worth the Journey
Hearing Healthcare Practice has been described as a drive-to destination for hearing care. Recently I’ve been asked to explain what that actually means! Our lives are dominated by the recurring message that services and products should be available, and increasingly deliverable, on demand. As consumers, we expect convenience at all costs and, as a result, often seek our service companies...
September 20, 2022Hearing Loops & The State Funeral
On Monday 19th September, we witnessed a spectacular global event as much of the world’s population came together to watch the State Funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Two thousand global citizens were fortunate to be invited to attend in person and witness history unfolding in front of their very eyes. At the top of the first page of...
September 13, 2022Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
Following the sad news regarding the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, on Monday 19th September Hearing Healthcare Practice will be closed to allow our team to pay their respects and commemorate The Queen’s reign on the day of her funeral.

August 31, 2022Feeling Blessed
No matter how many times we receive positive reviews it always reminds us of how blessed we are to do the job we do, in the unique way we do it. Enid recently visited us from Ware, in Hertfordshire, and had this to say: “It was a chance meeting some 25 years ago that led to me consulting Hearing Healthcare...

The Gold Standard in Hearing Health
We’re often asked “what’s the difference between Hearing Healthcare Practice and the other hearing aid providers in the UK?” A few years ago, the question was easy to answer as the choice was simple. There was the public, state-delivered service through the NHS and, like us, private care through an independent provider. Over time, with partial deregulation, academic changes for...
August 9, 2022A Proud Century… and a Welcome Return
It’s people that make an event special. And it’s people who turn the mundane into the extraordinary. This is true for just about everything in life. Whether it’s a social event, a business conference, or a meal out with friends. If the company we keep doesn’t engage and inspire us, it can lead to disappointment. Our people, our team at...
July 18, 2022Every Client: our Only Client
It seems our daily news reports are dominated by a small handful of recurring stories. One story, which is repeated with alarming regularity, highlights the difficulty in arranging an appointment to see a GP or other healthcare provider. It’s one reason why more people are seeking help privately to circumnavigate waiting lists, access help faster, and gain reassurance that they...

Keeping our Cool… Whatever the Weather
On Monday 18th – Tuesday 19th July it’s forecast we will experience two unusually hot days. Weather forecasts are reliably unreliable – who can forget BBC weatherman Michael Fish’s notorious gaffe before the Great Storm of 1987? The freak weather event went down in history, not only because of its destruction but also because just hours before he famously denied...
