Five 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.

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...

Having built a unique reputation, we are now the ‘drive to’ centre of excellence for clients with demanding needs… and the highest expectations.

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...
