Our weekly Folkestone clinics are held within the Physio R Us practice, located on Manor Road and easy to find in central Folkestone between Sainsbury’s and Halfords. We are within a short walk of the seafront, with ample local parking, with the Sandgate Road Car Park just 0.2 miles from us and the Civic Centre Visitors Car Park around a six-minute walk away.
Hearing loss and changes to the quality of your hearing can be distressing and worrying – but a full set of professional hearing assessments can shed light on any causes or contributing factors and give you the information you need to decide on the best way forward.
Regain Hearing’s Wednesday Folkestone clinics make private, one-to-one hearing tests with a skilled audiologist accessible to all. Two-hour appointment slots give you plenty of time to explain how your hearing has changed or chat about any issues you’re having with your current hearing aids or symptoms.
We assist clients with a wide array of hearing-related problems, from tinnitus symptoms to hearing aids functioning sub-optimally, pain and discomfort, ongoing or occasional loss of hearing in one or both ears, or variations in the pitches, volumes, and frequencies you can comfortably hear.
Getting to grips with the reasons for hearing loss is the ideal way to make informed decisions, whether we recommend a course of tinnitus therapies, an ear wax removal treatment, a customised hearing protection device, or a change to the model or programming of your hearing aids.
Regain Hearing clients who discover that hearing aids would be beneficial also receive independent, tailored advice, ensuring they choose the devices that suit their budget and hearing needs, with lifetime aftercare support and help learning how to clean, care for and program your new hearing aids.
Like many health concerns, ignoring early signs of hearing loss or assuming that drops in hearing quality are an inevitable sign of ageing is never advisable. In the vast majority of cases, good ear hygiene routines and thorough hearing testing can determine treatments, devices or strategies to restore your hearing or prevent further deterioration.
Prevention is always better than a cure, and by consulting a professional audiology team at the first indication of hearing changes, we can protect your hearing health for the long term or manage any underlying causes, such as infections or injuries.
If any of the following scenarios apply, we recommend booking a hearing assessment with our local Folkestone team at your earliest convenience:
Proactive hearing tests are also a good option for anybody working in a loud-noise environment, such as in event venues, construction, or demolition. Tracking hearing quality and taking early action can protect hearing from damage caused by ongoing exposure to loud or persistent noises.
If you’ve been struggling to hear or are suffering from earache — or you’ve noticed your hearing has gradually worsened — earwax removal can give you back the crystal-clear sounds you’re used to. Take the first step to regaining your hearing by booking a consultation for treatment with our leading audiologists in London and Kent.
Regain Hearing’s Folkestone clinic is run by two highly qualified consultant audiologists. They combine their passion for hearing health and understanding of the importance of hearing quality to assist clients old and new in determining the causes of hearing loss.
Clara has years of experience as an audiologist and is known for her personalised care approach. She spends time with each client to understand the bigger picture of how their hearing is impacting their well-being and performs advanced tests to establish the causes or underlying issues that require treatment.
Tom provides microsuction ear wax removal, working alongside Clara to deliver the high-quality client services we are known for both during our weekly Folkestone audiology clinics and when providing mobile and at-home ear wax removal.
Discovering the causes of hearing loss and accessing the expertise of a private team of audiology specialists is the best way to address changes to your hearing quality or find treatments to restore your hearing. Our testing services are accurate, use the latest facilities and equipment, and are pain-free, providing all the information you need to regain control over your hearing.
If you have not had a private hearing test before or have only experienced quick and cursory exams, you may be surprised at how long our audiologists take to understand how changes to your hearing are affecting your quality of life and the number of potential tests we can conduct there and then, depending on your symptoms.
All Regain Hearing tests are designed to be comfortable and pain-free. We’ll explain what the test entails and how it works and share our findings as we go, always with the option to stop at any time if your ears are sensitive.
A full suite of hearing tests could involve all of the following, included within our two-hour appointment slot and with no extra charges or additional testing costs, regardless of how many tests we recommend:
Hearing loss simulations are also an advanced form of hearing analysis. They allow us to demonstrate to a partner or friend accompanying you how your hearing has changed, providing a more holistic approach and a greater understanding of the degree of hearing loss.
We often speak with clients who would like to know why they are experiencing hearing loss or are keen to take action to restore or protect their hearing. However, they are unsure what happens once a hearing test is completed and how they can use that knowledge to improve their hearing quality.
There is no universal treatment, and our suggestions will depend wholly on the results of your hearing tests and assessments. They could range from a new set of hearing aids or discreet, almost invisible in-ear devices to adjustments to your current hearing aids to correct imbalances in hearing quality or treatments to address infections, ear wax blockages, or damage to your ear drums.
If, for example, we spot ear wax blockages responsible for muffled and distorted hearing, you could decide to proceed with a gentle microsuction treatment on the same day or schedule it for our next Folkestone clinic without necessarily needing further appointments.
Should you purchase a hearing aid, we’ll provide as much help as you need to learn how to adjust the settings and programming, clean and care for your hearing aids, and clarify how our lifetime aftercare and professional guarantees work.

We know that thousands of people avoid doing anything to correct hearing loss based on the assumption that limited access to NHS services or the cost of private consultations and treatments will be outside their budget.
Regain Hearing is committed to making professional audiology accessible and affordable, with a complete set of hearing tests over a two-hour consultation at a fixed price of £69, including an advanced video otoscopy test.
Absolutely. We appreciate that some clients find travelling difficult, have limited mobility, or would prefer we come to them rather than booking a hearing test at our clinic. Both consultant audiologists form part of our mobile team and can offer hearing tests and microsuction at your preferred address; simply get in touch to schedule a convenient day and time.
