Services
Hearing Assessment
Our comprehensive hearing assessments evaluate hearing levels, speech recognition in noise, and sound comfort using advanced diagnostic equipment. Audiologists create tailored solutions based on individual communication needs and lifestyle requirements. The 45-minute evaluation includes tympanometry and pure-tone audiometry to determine hearing thresholds across different frequencies.
Earwax Removal
Professional microsuction earwax removal provides safe, efficient relief from blocked ears using surgical-grade suction equipment. The procedure includes pre-softening with medical-grade olive oil and post-treatment advice for preventing future wax build-up. Clinicians use ENT microscopes to ensure complete removal while protecting ear canal integrity.
Private Hearing Aids
Customised hearing aid solutions feature rechargeable models, Bluetooth connectivity, and app-controlled options from leading manufacturers. Packages include five-year warranties, two-year wax protection plans, and ongoing aftercare. Audiologists recommend devices based on hearing loss severity, lifestyle needs, and cosmetic preferences.
Assistive Listening Devices
Roger microphone technology enhances hearing aid performance in noisy environments and over distance. The wireless system transmits speech directly to hearing aids, improving understanding in challenging listening situations. Solutions include TV connectors and remote microphones for one-to-one conversations.
Hearing Protection
Custom swim plugs and noise protection solutions prevent water-related infections and noise-induced hearing loss. Services include custom-moulded earplugs for musicians, industrial workers, and shooters, with options for different noise attenuation levels and waterproof designs for aquatic activities.
