Every 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.

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)...
May 17, 2022Music is My First Love 💙
Our client, Kim, has spent her life in music, on stage singing to her adoring fans. But along with the excitement and artistic success have come music-induced hearing disorders, including ringing ears (tinnitus). Live music has long been the source of concern to audiologists as loud on-stage volumes and public address systems can lead to harmful sound level exposure. The...
May 6, 2022Communication is Key
How we communicate is essential to our Practice ethos. Because we know that having a positive impact on someone is best achieved by inspiring them and making an emotional connection. Much has of course been written about building relationships: “People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did. But people will never forget how you made them...
May 5, 2022TBT: Throw Back Thursday
A Five Star Review: A Poem For more than 25 years, our client Roy was a regular visitor at our practice, which we all looked forward to as they invariably ended in laughter. He travelled extensively and always took the time to send us a postcard from some exotic distant land. We were always able to help him out as...
March 9, 2022What Does It Sound Like?
One question we often get asked is: “What is the Best Hearing Aid?” What seems like a simple question is actually very difficult to answer. In fact, there isn’t one, or two, or even three, come to think of it! Online videos and reviews proliferate but, in our professional opinion, they are generally unhelpful and, often, misleading. Sometimes people ask...
