Don 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.

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!

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...
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...
