The Best Impression
Hearing Healthcare Practice has operated in Harpenden for more than 40 years. Having built a unique reputation, we are now the ‘drive to’ centre of excellence for clients with demanding needs… and the highest expectations. We specialise in providing an environment that is welcoming, not overly clinical or at all retail-focused, but a space where everyone walking through the door...
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...
June 23, 2022Best Practice… and the simple things
As a leading provider of clinical best practice, we are continually looking to improve our service to our clients. This relentless search begins with scouring professional literature and reviewing the evidence base for proven methods we can adopt. But our search isn’t just limited to clinical practices, it extends to every area of our practice, from administration and marketing, to...
June 3, 2022Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II
Congratulations your Majesty, on your historic Platinum Jubilee. Your commitment to service cannot be over-emphasised, your compassion clearly evident for all to see whilst your smile is an inspiration to us all. There have been so many messages of congratulations and thanks from people covering every walk of life and from all over the world. Many have been interviewed and...
May 25, 2022In her own words
Our clients say the nicest things. We have already posted Kim’s comments about how she now finds her tinnitus less troublesome (there’s a link below). She now, kindly, given us the following testimonial quote: “Discovering Hearing Healthcare Practice has transformed my hearing, and therefore my life. Profoundly. Throughout the process, the team’s care and attention have been exceptional and going forward, I feel very supported and reassured about...
May 23, 2022Paying it forward
Our client, Chris, sadly passed away during the first wave of Covid back in April 2020. She had been a great friend of our practice since 1999 and her story is truly empowering. Last week we were invited by Lord McFall, Speaker of the House of Lords, to a special commemorative reception at The Palace of Westminster (where Chris worked)...
