Our Services

Comprehensive Hearing Tests

Our thorough hearing assessments use advanced audiometric equipment to accurately measure your hearing ability. During your test, we'll evaluate your ability to hear different pitches and volumes, as well as your speech comprehension in various environments. This detailed analysis allows us to pinpoint exactly where your hearing difficulties lie and recommend the most appropriate solutions.

Regular hearing tests are essential for maintaining your aural health. We recommend annual check-ups, especially for those over 50 or those exposed to loud noises regularly.

Ear Wax Removal

Excess ear wax can significantly impact your hearing and comfort. At Nantwich Hearing Centre, we use the gentle and effective microsuction technique for ear wax removal. This method is:

• Safe and comfortable
• Performed under direct vision
• Suitable for those with perforated eardrums or previous ear surgery
• Quick and typically painless

Unlike traditional ear syringing, microsuction doesn't introduce water into the ear canal, reducing the risk of infection and providing a more pleasant experience.

Tinnitus Management

Tinnitus, often described as ringing or buzzing in the ears, can be a distressing condition. Our experienced audiologists can help you understand and manage your tinnitus. We offer:

• Comprehensive tinnitus assessments
• Counselling and education about the condition
• Sound therapy options
• Hearing aids with tinnitus masking features
• Lifestyle advice to minimise tinnitus impact
