Early signs of hearing loss

Do any of these sound familiar?

These are some of the most common early signs of hearing loss and many people don't realise they're experiencing them:

  • You turn the TV up louder than others in the room
  • You often ask people to repeat themselves
  • You struggle to follow conversations in noisy social settings
  • You find phone calls more difficult than you used to
  • You feel exhausted after conversations that require concentration
  • You have a persistent ringing, buzzing or hissing sound in your ears

If any of these feel familiar, you're not alone and the good news is that help is available. Hearing loss is one of the most treatable conditions in the UK, but on average people wait seven years before seeking help. Don't wait. A simple hearing test is all it takes to understand where you stand.

Professional ear wax removal

Let's face it. Earwax seems "yucky" – but it is essential for healthy ears. It lubricates your ears to stop them from feeling dry and itchy and kills harmful bacteria, keeping them clean. But earwax buildup can cause hearing loss and muffled sounds. With our safe and gentle microsuction ear wax removal techniques, you'll leave with clean ears and a clearer sense of the world around you.

What are the causes of hearing loss?

Hearing well isn't just about sound

We know the hearing problems you're experiencing don't just stop at not being able to hear the TV or having the volume up too high. Hearing problems can impact your quality of life, relationships and even your longevity.

By addressing your hearing loss, we can help you regain confidence, strengthen relationships, and embrace every moment. Because hearing well isn't just about sound – it's about thriving in all aspects of your life.

Hearing problems are also connected to several other health conditions, and tackling the signs and symptoms of hearing loss early can have various benefits:

  • Improve cognitive function and ward off dementia.
  • Increase your balance and reaction times.
  • Stop your hearing loss symptoms from deteriorating further.
  • Boost energy levels and fight fatigue.
  • Develop more confidence in social situations and at work.

These are all evidence-based claims backed by scientific studies and research. Hearing problems may seem minor now but can have long-lasting consequences if not addressed.

During your consultation, one of our skilled hearing aid dispensers will conduct a thorough check of your eardrum and canal to check if there is a detectable cause of your hearing loss or tinnitus symptoms.

Next, we'll perform a comprehensive hearing test and recommend your best hearing treatment. Spending the time required to fully support you and understand your concerns, to lending you hearing aids for a holiday or big event, is all part of the Regain Hearing service.

FAQs

Your questions, answered

Can't see your question? Call us free on 0800 028 6763.

Are hearing tests free?

Yes, our hearing assessment is free. It's a shorter, focused check of how well you're hearing. If you'd like a more thorough look, our full hearing test with video otoscopy is £69 and includes hearing aid consultations, fitting and aftercare for life. Compare the two.

How much does a hearing test cost?

A free hearing assessment costs nothing. A full hearing test including video otoscopy is a fixed £69, with no hidden charges. See all our fees.

How long does a hearing test take?

We book a full hearing test as a two-hour appointment, so there's time to talk through your hearing, examine your ears, test properly and explain your results without rushing. A free hearing assessment is shorter.

How do I book a hearing test?

You can book online in a couple of minutes, call us free on 0800 028 6763, or visit one of our 11 clinics across Kent and South East London. Same-day appointments are often available.

Do you do hearing tests at home?

Yes. Our Hear at Home audiologists bring the same equipment to your home across Kent and South East London. Use the postcode checker on that page to see if we cover your area.

How much is ear wax removal?

Microsuction ear wax removal in clinic is £59 for one ear or £79 for both, in a 45-minute appointment. If stubborn wax needs a second visit, the follow-up is free. Home visits start at £99. More about ear wax removal.

What is microsuction ear wax removal?

Microsuction uses a fine, gentle suction tube to lift wax out while the audiologist looks into the ear under magnification. It's dry, quick and generally comfortable, and it's the method our audiologists use at every clinic.

How much do hearing aids cost?

It depends on the style and technology level you need. We'll explain the options and prices clearly at a free consultation after your hearing test, with no pressure to buy. Every hearing aid comes with free aftercare and a 5-year warranty. Browse every model we fit.

What is hidden hearing loss?

Hidden hearing loss is when a basic hearing check comes back normal, but you still struggle to follow speech in noisy places like restaurants or busy rooms. A quick screening can miss it, so our full hearing test starts with where you find listening hard, and we explain your results and options in plain English.

Can hearing aids help tinnitus?

Often, yes. Hearing better can make tinnitus less noticeable, and many hearing aids include built-in relief sounds. We also offer a tinnitus consultation and management plan for £99.

Can I get hearing aids on the NHS?

Yes, the NHS provides hearing aids, usually after a GP referral. Many people choose an independent clinic like ours for quicker appointments, a wider choice of models and longer appointments with the same audiologist.

Ready to hear the difference?

Whether you want to start with our free online test or book straight in for a full assessment, we're ready to help. Our clinics are open across London and Kent, and our At Home service means geography is never a barrier to exceptional hearing care.
