Inadequate

Feeling fobbed off by this company with some wholly inadequate hearing aids (non-digital - I've been wearing digital for 8 years), I made a new appointment, for 3.15 today (4 August). I was told not to be late. I answered a follow up text with a YES to the arrangement. On arriving at reception I was told that the appoiontment was at 5.00. Which it wasn't. No apology. This is a second-rate organisation that the NHS should not be employing.

Joby was very patient with my elderly and difficult grandmother when he came for a home visit to remove ear wax and perform a hearing test. He allowed her to have cigarette breaks and attempted multiple times throughout her resisting until the test was completed. He explained clearly to us how to fit the hearing aid and how to use it. He is very professional, caring and helpful. Thank you.

Joby was a gentleman. He did a very good job, programming and testing for a new hearing aid. Now I can hear loud and clear. Thank you very much for your professionalism and good work.

The audiologist that supported my mum was amazing.
Firstly, the case was not clear cut and my mum had been experiencing extreme pain in her ears for many months. The audiologist was patient and determined to try to help my mum and spent ample time with her.

Secondly, her knowledge was of a high level and managed to fix the issue and now we have more information as to how to continue to help my mum.
Honestly I could not have imagined that we would leave with such brilliant outcomes to my mum’s hearing issue.
Thank you 🙏🏾
