How wonderful to encounter an audiologist who understands the challenges of wearing hearing aids. Her adjustments to my aids made everyday life so much more pleasant.

Hi Ron

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review for Suzanne. She has always had such a passion for helping people on their hearing journeys, but having personal experience of the hearing aid journey means she brings that extra bit of knowledge and understanding to each appointment.

Excellent customer care

Louise and Suzanne offer excellent customer service. Louise described in detail to my father, why he could hear certain things and not others, which was so informative. My father is elderly and my mother has dementia so the home visits are very welcome indeed. Louise spent so much time and care, she is obviously passionate about what she does and how she can help. Thank you

Top Marks.

I googled the results for hearing services in Norwich and walked in without an appointment. Very professional and would highly recommend. No obligation trial following a thorough hearing test, and cleansing of my ears. Associated issues with the supplied aids (one was faulty) were resolved. Service by both Derrick and Lorraine was very good.

Hi Graham,
Hearing aids are a truly personal purchase, so we will always ensure the right solution for each person, with no pressure to buy. We've heard too many stories of people being pressured into aids elsewhere that weren't right and they ended up sitting in drawers, and people still missed out on conversations. We never want that for anyone who walks through our doors.

I was particularly impressed by the diagnostic skills shown by the audiologist which resulted in extremely satisfactory hearing aids with a different prescription for each ear. My hearing aids are vastly superior to any I had previously tried. The staff at Sound Advice in Winchester are very helpful, well informed & proactive.

Annual Hearing Re-Test

Although a client for several years a very clear explanation as to what the tests involved and the purpose of the test was fully explained.
How and when I was using my hearing aid was analysed with recommendations on how to improve and increase the benefits of my hearing aids.
Gemma was excellent at understanding how i was not obtaining the maximum benefit from my hearing aids and gave me good, clear advice on how to improve my use.

A Local Business you can trust.

Had a hearing test last year and purchased new hearing aids after my test. Since then I have had ears cleaned
and re-tested to check my settings on the ear pieces were correct. All the staff I dealt with were courteous, caring and informative and most of all honest with me.
I would never go anywhere else and am grateful that I can now distinguish voices in group settings.

Hi Tony,

Thank you for taking the time to share your lovely review. As you know, hearing aids are not an off-the-shelf purchase that you just turn on and off, so the time spent getting the adjustments right for each person is so important. And one big reason people shouldn't buy them online.
You can always trust in the honesty of our audiologists.

Louise Bowdery is an exceptionally good audiologist. She is also friendly and intuitive. I was given a very thorough examination and hearing test and was offered an excellent range of aids. No hard selling involved and I trialled the aids for a week before having to make a decision. Overall a pleasant experience.

Hi Bridget,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your review. To 'feel at ease' is exactly what we want for everyone to feel at their appointments with us. That is why our clinics are quiet, and we only see one person at a time. No rushed, noisy atmosphere here.

As always the service and attention to detail is excellent and I always leave knowing I am able to hear as well I possibly can. Experience is everything and Derek's knowledge is second to none.

The place to go for any ear problems

I experienced some discomfort with my ears and the Sound Advice - Hearing were able to fit me in the next day. Both the receptionist and the Audiologist were so friendly and helpful. The Audiologist was gentle and explained procedure well.
I will definitely not hesitate in recommending them

Two very satisfied customers !

My wife and I have both been fitted with Heating AIDS from Sound Advice Hearing in Horncastle - myself most recently !
Simon is wonderful as indeed are all his Staff at the Horncastle Shop. He is more than patient with two ‘oldies @ 86 & 84’ who struggle with modern technology both physically and mentally and very willing to pop in and ‘rescue’ us - as I am now wheel chair bound and we are dependent on very lacking public transport.
We could not recommend them all more highly ! THANK YOU !
