Our Harpenden Homes 1981 – Present
Hearing Healthcare Practice has operated from a permanent base in Harpenden, Hertfordshire–we first opened in 1981 in a humble two-room property in the Southdown area. Unlike many contemporary competitors who spread themselves too thinly, too quickly, expanding and eventually forced to cease trading, ours has been a carefully planned organic growth, moving premises only four times and expanding with the...
November 8, 2022A Musician’s Five Star Review for Our Hearing & Audiology Service
One of our clients, Torsten, is a composer, musician, researcher and programmer who studied electro-acoustic music composition. Like all of our clients, his motivation to hear as well as possible is driven by his own personal set of professional and social circumstances. After several false starts with other hearing specialists and audiologists, Torsten’s search for specialist care led him to...
October 19, 2022Five Stars for Our Hearing Aid Audiology Service
Paul has been a client of our community-based audiology practice for 11 years. We have recently replaced his hearing aids and he’s been so thrilled at the results that he’s turned to Google to let us know. Thanks, Paul for taking the time to give us a five-star rating, it’s a pleasure to guide you through the myriad of technology...
October 19, 2022Five Stars for Our Ear Wax Removal Service
Louise has been a client of our micro suction ear cleaning service for a few years. Nowadays, as GP practices no longer provide the service, many people are offering to clean ears. However, methods, equipment, skill, and experience vary dramatically – some even use ‘ear candles’ which are scientifically proven to be dangerous and ineffective. At Hearing Healthcare Practice we’re...
October 19, 2022Don Rates Our Five Star Service
We have provided audiological guidance and hearing aids to Don for fifteen years and recently replaced his eight-year-old hearing aids with significantly improved models. Although the latest hearing aids are much better, they don’t simply work ‘out of the box’, they require our experience and time to tune to a scientific prescription and then, to personalise them. In conversation with...
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 27, 2022Another Five Stars
It’s heartwarming when someone takes the time to contact us to say thank and write a review. Melvin was recommended to us by one of our patients and came to see us in January 2021 after previously consulting an Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist and another audiologist. Following successfully completing an extended evaluation with hearing aids he emailed: “I just...
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...

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. Our Queen lead us by example, she was the embodiment of strength, determination and kindness and her life an inspiration to us...
