About Lindsay

Co-founder of Regain Hearing

Regain Hearing was founded in 2010 by Lee Fletcher and Lindsay Stride, both hearing consultants who qualified in 2005. After several years managing hearing aid centres across Kent, they saw high street chains phasing out at-home care for elderly and vulnerable patients, and set up an independent practice that would always make time for people.

In 2014 they developed Regain Hearing's own tinnitus treatment approach, built around each patient's hearing and how their tinnitus affects daily life. Working with the Starkey Foundation, they travelled to Yerevan, Armenia, where the team fitted 1,800 hearing aids in five days for people aged 18 months and up.

Today Regain Hearing has 11 clinics across Kent and South East London plus the Hear at Home service, and Lee and Lindsay remain involved in every clinic and still see patients themselves.

What is a hearing aid dispenser, and what do they do?

Highly qualified consultants, like the members of our team, work with people of all ages suffering from hearing loss, afflictions like tinnitus, and even disorders caused by the parts of the ear that assist with balance. Becoming a private hearing professional of the calibre you’ll find at our ear clinics requires an exceptional degree of professional competence, great communication skills, empathy and understanding.

The Health and Care Professionals Council (HCPC) is the regulatory body overseeing many health and care professionals, including hearing aid dispensers. They keep a register of professionals who meet and uphold the rigorous HCPC standards for training, skills, behaviour, and health. They protect the public from malpractice by ensuring professionals who the HCPC regulates have their titles protected by law.

In every Regain Hearing ear clinic located throughout London and Kent, private hearing aid dispensers meet the HCPC’s exacting standards. Highly experienced professionals staff our clinics, and our practice is run by professionals who are leaders in their field, noted for developing innovative new techniques and programmes for dealing with tinnitus and hearing loss.

Aside from the skills to thoroughly assess, diagnose, and treat tinnitus, hearing loss, and other ear-related complaints, in less usual circumstances, our private hearing aid dispensers can make referrals to other relevant healthcare professionals, such as ENT (ear, nose, and throat) specialists.

If you’re interested in careful, professional testing and diagnosis to improve your hearing health, book your consultation today.

    “Really excellent tinnitus session with Lindsay. Two hours of detailed discussion and examination. I came away feeling that I really understand my problem now and have the tools to manage it. Best £99 I spent in a very long time.”

    “Last month, I had an earwax blockage which was causing significant discomfort and hearing loss. The shop environment was spotlessly clean, helping me feel like I was in safe hands. Lindsay was amazing; I was nervous as this was my first microsuction but her calm and professional demeanour put me at ease. The process itself was quick and painless, and I am now able to hear much better.”
