Audiology Services London: The Sound Hearing Approach by Expert Audiologists
Sound Hearing provides home visit audiology services in London within and around the M25. Sound Hearing also works with Bexley Hearing Centre, which specialises in Hearing Aids, Wax Removal and tinnitus treatment.
Hearing Tests and Hearing Aids
Our hearing aid specialists carry a full hearing clinic, allowing us to provide the same hearing diagnosis and hearing aid fitting as a clinic, all from the comfort of your home.
We provide a free hearing test at home using special headphones that cover your outer ear to minimise background noise.
Why not try our free online hearing test discreetly from the comfort of home? It takes five minutes and might give you a good indication of whether a more thorough hearing assessment by an Audiologist would be beneficial.

With such a wide range of hearing aids, most people find choosing the digital hearing aids confusing. The best hearing aid for you will vary depending on your hearing loss, the shape and style of hearing aid you will be happy to wear, the everyday situations where you want to hear better and your budget.
Our hearing specialists are here to help you find the right solution. We also carry many demonstration hearing aids that you can try at home. Our hearing aid prices are clearly shown on our website, and on each product page, you can compare the hearing aid features of each technology level.
Whether your priority is to hear speech in noisy places, hear music crisply again, or just listen to friends and family clearly again and make the TV sound louder in the home, Sound Hearing can help you find the correct hearing aids. We publish all our prices since we are confident that they offer the best value. Ongoing support is included in the price, and all hearing aids come with a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty.
Whether you need BTE hearing aids for severe hearing loss or are looking for the smallest hearing aids available, Sound Hearing can help you find new hearing aids to suit your needs.
Most hearing aids prescribed privately in the UK are receiver-in-the-ear (RIC) hearing aids. These are preferred due to their small size, making them discreet. They are packed with the latest technology, contain Bluetooth for streaming phone calls, and usually have rechargeable batteries, suiting anyone who struggles with changing small, fiddly batteries often found in NHS hearing aids.
Though we cannot provide free NHS hearing aids, we can offer a pair of smaller rechargeable hearing aids with the latest technology from £1495.
Looking to upgrade or replace your existing hearing aids?
If you already wear private or NHS hearing aids and are considering upgrading, let a Sound Hearing expert help you navigate and choose the best hearing aids. Not only does Sound Hearing work with all the hearing aid brands, but all our hearing aids come with a 60-day money-back guarantee, so you can trial new hearing aids with peace of mind. We can often lend you demonstration hearing aids for a couple of weeks without spending a penny.
After Care For Life
Our service does not end with fitting hearing aids. Our Standard model includes free aftercare for life, and all our hearing aids come with a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty.
We can help with an individual management plan for those with complex needs to ensure you can wear hearing aids and are looked after correctly. We can also show caregivers how to insert and remove hearing aids, change batteries, and use the hearing aid charger.
Bluetooth Accessories
Modern hearing aids often come with Bluetooth as standard. Bluetooth allows hearing aids to connect to assistive listening devices such as a TV streamer or Remote Microphone, improving speech and sound quality. If our hearing specialists feel that assistive listening devices would benefit you, we can install them in your home. We can also pair your hearing aids to your mobile phone, which means telephone calls can stream directly to your hearing aids.
We know how important hearing is to connecting you with the world around you and to improving your quality of life.
Contact Sound Hearing now to book your free consultation. We will aim to make the pathway to better hearing as straightforward and as affordable as possible for you.

Hearing Aid Reprogramming
Already have hearing aids? We’ll retest your hearing and reprogramme your existing hearing aids to ensure you get the best from them.
Ear Wax Removal
Earwax is entirely natural, and the amount produced varies from person to person. Earwax typically falls out of the ear on its own, though in some people it builds up and can block their ears. Causes can include:
- Narrow ear canals
- A Tight bend in the ear canal
- Excessive hair in the ear canals
- Skin conditions, e.g. Atopic eczema/dermatitis
- Frequent use of earbuds or sleeping plugs
Symptoms of blocked ears may include:
- Hearing loss
- Earache or a feeling that your ears are blocked
- Itchiness and irritation
- A full sensation or pressure in the ear
- Tinnitus (ringing in your ears)
Sound Hearing uses microsuction to remove earwax. This can be completed in our Bexley Hearing Clinic or at your own home.
For professional and safe ear wax removal by our experienced audiologists, please contact us.
Sound Hearing Shop | Hearing Aid Spare Parts and Bluetooth Accessories
The most common cause of poor hearing aid performance or failure is blockage caused by earwax. The hearing aid can usually be restored by changing the filter, dome, receiver or tubing.
Finding the correct spares for your hearing aid is essential and can be difficult. We hope we have designed our shop to simplify the process. You can search by finding your hearing aid, and then the correct spares for your device will be listed. You can also search by spare part types, send us a message or give us a call.
The NHS offers free hearing aids in the UK, though accessing the spare parts can be time-consuming. Our Shop stocks all the spares you need for NHS hearing aids.
Our shop offers spare parts from all the leading manufacturers of hearing aids. We supply replacement chargers for hearing aids and wireless accessories, including TV connectors, Remote Mics, Remote Controls, and Phonak Roger™ wireless microphones.
If you feel your hearing aids are not performing well for the Television or listening to music, consider trying a wireless accessory before purchasing new hearing aids. Most hearing aids in recent years have Bluetooth included, allowing for streaming from Televisions with a TV connector.
Hearing Aid Reprogramming
Is your hearing aid not working quite like it used to? You might not have to replace them.
Let Sound Hearing retest your hearing and reprogram your hearing devices. All digital hearing aids can be reprogrammed, and the device settings can be updated.
Most hearing loss is due to slow inner ear and auditory nerve deterioration, which is called sensorineural hearing loss.
Your hearing aids are programmed to a prescription calculated from your audiogram (hearing test results).
If you have had your hearing aids for a few years and have not had your hearing retested, then the hearing aid prescription may no longer match your hearing loss.
Your hearing aids may also need cleaning and servicing. If the filters are blocked, your microphone may not receive all the sound waves, resulting in poor hearing aid performance and impaired hearing.
Sound Hearing can check your hearing aids performance and service them. If we can not repair your hearing aids to peak performance during our visit, we can send them for repair.
Hearing aids can also have their firmware upgraded. Manufacturers often release updates for their hearing aids, which improve performance, connection to phones and hearing aid chargers.
Sound Hearing can retest and reprogram your hearing aids, clean and service them and upgrade the software inside them, all from the comfort of your home.
Some hearing aid providers lock their hearing aids to their computers so they can only adjust them. This includes many Specsavers hearing aids and all NHS hearing aids. When contacting us, we will need to ask which hearing aids you have so we can advise whether reprogramming is possible.
