Have you noticed a change in your hearing?

Hearing loss affects one in six of us, yet it often takes a backseat when it comes to prioritising our health. While hearing loss generally coincides with ageing, we are now seeing more young people than ever experiencing symptoms of hearing loss due to prolonged exposure to excessive noise levels.

If you’ve noticed any changes, however small, book an appointment with us today.

Struggling to keep up with the conversation?

Do you find it increasingly difficult to follow conversations with friends or family? Hearing loss can develop gradually, often going unnoticed until it starts to impact daily life. A hearing test can offer a well-rounded image of your ear health and, with early detection, can help to prevent further deterioration down the line.

Our team of fully qualified and registered audiologists offers professional hearing tests for adults and children in the Shrewsbury area. They will carefully assess your hearing, identify the extent of any hearing loss, and guide you through the most suitable treatment options available.

Looking after your children’s hearing

Our paediatric audiologists specialise in offering gentle, age-appropriate assessments in a friendly and comfortable setting. We know how challenging it can be to discover that your child has hearing loss, and we’re here every step of the way, from the initial hearing test, choosing any necessary hearing technology, right through to providing unrivalled aftercare.

Hearing care - tinnitus, ear wax, dizziness

Tinnitus, ear wax blockages, and dizziness can each have a significant impact on your hearing and overall quality of life. Tinnitus, often described as a constant ringing or buzzing in the ears, can be both distracting and exhausting. A build-up of ear wax may lead to sudden hearing loss, discomfort, or even pain, while dizziness or balance issues are sometimes linked to problems within the inner ear, affecting your sense of stability and confidence.

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, speaking with one of our experienced audiologists is a great first step. Whether you need ear wax removal or support managing tinnitus or dizziness, our team are on hand to help you find clarity and comfort.
