We often first see a patient because they suspect they have a build up of troublesome wax, causing issues with hearing. At your appointment we will check your ears and use gentle microsuction removal to safely and adeptly eliminate any debris or wax build-ups in the ears.
Having this done by a trained advanced audiologist is the safest and most long-term effective way to remove debris and wax as well as have any further underlying concerns addressed straight away without need for an additional clinical appointment.
It can be a concerning time if you suspect, or know, your child has hearing issues. However we are here to support you as we find the best possible outcome for your child*.
From a comprehensive hearing examination, to finding the most subtle, convenient and child-friendly hearing aids, we work with parents and other healthcare professionals, to ensure your child isn’t held back by their hearing loss.
*Generally five years and above but younger children can be seen at the discretion and prior approval of the audiologist. Bookings should not be made without first contacting the audiologist of any child under the age of five.

whether it’s work or hobbies which expose you to consistently loud noise, ear plugs will help protect you from long-term hearing damage.
