Is it time for a hearing test?
Hearing loss usually creeps in slowly, and the soft, high sounds like s, f and th fade first. That is why speech can seem loud enough but unclear.
- You often ask people to repeat themselves
- Family say the TV is too loud
- Group conversations and functions are tiring
- You hear ringing or buzzing in your ears
Worried about your child's speech?
Book an assessment if your child:
- Has no words by 16 months
- Is not joining two words by age 2
- Is hard for others to understand at 3
- Stutters, or has stopped using words they knew

About the clinicFamilies in their own words
Our son had only a few words at two and a half. The therapist showed us what to do at home every week, and now he chats all day. We wish we had come sooner.
They let me try two hearing aids at home before deciding. For the first time in years I can follow the conversation at family dinners.
After my stroke I could not find my words. Patient, practical sessions, and they trained my wife too. I am back to managing my own calls.

Common questions
Can't find your answer? Ask us on WhatsApp and a clinician will reply.
All patient questionsDo I need a doctor's referral?
No. You can book a hearing test or speech-language assessment directly. If we find anything that needs medical treatment, we refer you to an ENT doctor.
At what age can a child's hearing be tested?
At any age, including newborns. We use BERA for babies and play-based tests for toddlers.
How do I know if my child needs speech therapy?
If your child has no words by 16 months, no two-word phrases by 2 years, or is hard to understand at 3, an assessment is worthwhile. Early help is more effective than waiting.
Can I try a hearing aid before buying?
Yes. After your hearing test we shortlist suitable models and you can trial them at home before you decide.
Which hearing aid brands do you fit?
We fit all major international brands including Phonak, Oticon, Signia, ReSound, Widex and Starkey, so our advice is not tied to one manufacturer.
