We recognise that choosing a set of hearing aids can be complex. There are hundreds of brands and models to choose from, a vast array of price points, and the need to ensure that your hearing aids are suited to your personal level of hearing loss.

Our talented audiology team here in Gravesend is known for our attention to detail and friendly services. As standard, we provide you with a complete hearing assessment to ensure we know how your hearing is changing and how the right hearing aids will help. We can also chat about your expectations and priorities.

As a 100% independent network of family-owned practices, we don’t suggest or sell a particular brand or style of hearing aid and will only recommend devices we think will add value and help you regain the best quality of hearing possible.

Before we discuss your current hearing aids, talk about device styles and fitting, or evaluate whether a set of hearing aids will augment your hearing and comfort, the first step is to conduct a series of pain-free, professional and gentle tests.

These usually include a video otoscopy to check the health of your ears, a pressure testing process called tympanometry, and speech mapping, alongside word list checks where relevant to pinpoint the exact function and nature of your hearing loss.

Comprehensive testing is vital since this may influence the hearing aids that will prove most beneficial and identify whether there are underlying issues, such as an ear infection or ear wax blockage, that we can deal with there and then.

We provide access to over 350 varied hearing aids, ensuring that, if a set of hearing aids will help, you have the widest possible choice.

It is common to try to ignore changes to your hearing or assume that hearing loss is a natural part of life. If you’ve been struggling with your hearing for some time, have noticed differences in the sounds and frequencies you can hear, or are curious about whether hearing aids might help, an audiologist can provide independent advice.

While a hearing assessment is worthwhile at any point, we often find that clients come to us because:

• They have been wearing hearing aids for some time but find them awkward, ineffective, uncomfortable or heavy.
• They believe that the hearing aids they have purchased or been prescribed are low quality or no longer meet their needs.
• They are unsure whether a set of hearing aids would help restore their hearing quality or whether gradual or partial hearing loss can be corrected.

In many cases, a set of customised hearing devices may be an excellent option. These advanced hearing aids are tailored to your ear shape, often in incredibly light, supple materials that make you forget you are wearing them.

Otherwise, you may simply need help to adjust the settings and fit of your existing hearing aids or understand how the programming works to extract the most benefit from your devices.
