Hearing Aids
We supply the latest hearing aids from leading manufacturers including Widex, Phonak, Signia, and Oticon. Our audiologists fit devices tailored to individual hearing profiles and lifestyles, with options ranging from discreet in-the-ear models to rechargeable behind-the-ear systems. All purchases include free lifetime aftercare, ensuring ongoing support and maintenance for optimal performance.
Diagnostic Hearing Tests
Our comprehensive hearing tests use advanced diagnostic equipment to assess hearing sensitivity and speech understanding. The process includes pure tone audiometry, speech testing, and tympanometry where required, providing detailed insights to inform personalised treatment plans. Appointments typically last one hour to ensure thorough evaluation and discussion of results.
Earwax Removal
We offer safe, professional earwax removal using irrigation or microsuction techniques. Our audiologists perform the procedure with specialist ENT support available in Inverness. The service addresses symptoms like hearing loss and tinnitus caused by blockages, using body-temperature solutions and precision equipment to ensure patient comfort and safety during the process.
Noise Protection
Our custom-fit earplugs protect against noise-induced hearing loss in industrial, recreational, and musical environments. We provide solutions for clients including Shell, Police Scotland, and BSW Timber Mills, with acoustic filters that reduce harmful noise while maintaining speech clarity. The service includes risk assessments and tailored recommendations for occupational and personal use.
Hearing Aid Repairs
We diagnose and repair hearing aids from all major manufacturers, offering both in-house fixes and manufacturer-coordinated repairs. Our service covers battery replacements, wax filter changes, and component repairs, with support available for devices purchased elsewhere. Regular maintenance ensures continued functionality and longevity of hearing assistance technology.
