I've been seeing Derek for 9 years now and have just had my most recent hearing test and adjustment. 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. Backed up by the brilliant Lorraine out front I would recommend them to anyone!!

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 !

As good as it gets

If you have any issues with your hearing, or just want a check-up, this is the place to go.

Louise Bowdery is an outstanding audiologist, a leading authority on all the current hearing technologies, a person of unconditional integrity and above all someone committed to finding the best individual solution for each client. Sound Advice works with all the major hearing aid brands and is completely brand-neutral.

Together with Suzanne Simpkin who runs the front office, I doubt there is a better team operating in the South of England and we are very, very lucky to have them working in Winchester.

Louise recently prescribed a pair of latest-generation Widex aids for my dad, and it’s like his hearing has been rolled back fifty years. I’m a keen pianist with age-related hearing loss who recently suffered sudden hearing loss in one ear. Louise prescribed a pair of Phonak aids and designed and uploaded a custom profile that allows me to hear a grand piano with total clarity. So yes, this kind of thing takes a great deal of skill and great deal of commitment, and that’s what you’ll get here.

Finally, both Louise and Suzanne have terrific senses of humour, and whether you’re visiting them for a hearing test, ear wax removal or to test the latest hearing tech, you’re going to have a great experience.

Hi Mike,

Thank you so much for the lovely review for Louise and Suzanne. They are a brilliant team with wonderful knowledge. Hearing loss affects everyone in different ways, and the range of technologies available today means that there is definitely something for everyone and their lifestyle and needs. There is no on-size-fits-all which is why we are proud to be able to work with a range of manufacturers like Phonak and Widex.
Best wishes to both you and your dad

Very good service

Very good service. Louise conducted a thorough assessment & outlined a few hearing aid options for consideration over a free trial period. She explained the assessment results clearly & applied no pressure to the sell.

Reliable hearing company.

Have used for last 5 years, Derek and Lorraine are always friendly, courteous and thorough during a hearing reviews.
Although my hearing aids are a few years old, they are still in good condition and working order, they never push to buy new aids like many larger companies.
Would recommend this company.

Hi Brian,
Thank you for your review. We do work with the best manufacturers in the business, so it doesn't surprise me that the aids we supplied are still going strong, especially if we have been looking after them for you. Technology is always evolving, so Derrick will advise - but never push - if there is something that might work better. Do ask Lorraine about our referral scheme next time you are in, if you don't know about it already.

Very good, careful and caring service. Louise carefully assessed my needs and proposed hearing aids which should help me on my hearing journey. She explained the assessment well and was really happy to adjust and adapt the aids to my needs.

Extremely happy with service and care.

Extremely happy with the service and care from Kings Lynn branch of Sound Advice. Firstly, I had a very thorough hearing referral which was sensitively and appropriately handled by Suzanne. Separately, ear wax removal was efficiently, effectively and painlessly dealt with. Throughout both procedures I felt reassured & well informed. Thank you.

Hi Steve,
Thank you for your review. Everyone's hearing journey is unique, which is why there are so many choices when it comes to the technology. That is why we offer the free hearing aid trials, to ensure the best fit and technology for you before committing to purchase. We hear too often stories of people being 'sold to' and then they end up with the wrong hearing aids. Not something we want to happen to anyone! Best wishes on your journey, and the team are always there for you.

Hi Roy,
Thank you for your review and for sharing your experience for others to see. We believe in offering the very best in aftercare and support. Hearing loss is a journey that can't be fixed by a one-size-fits-all approach. It is very personal and ongoing, just like our aftercare and support.

Returning Customer

I’ve been a customer of Sound Advice for several years now. I’ve just returned from my annual review appointment when Derrick adjusted my hearing aids to accommodate the slight change in my hearing since last year. He also gave me advice about advancements made in hearing aids since I bought mine and although I’m not ready to replace them yet, I would not hesitate to go back to Sound Advice to buy them when I need to.

Hi AT,
Thank you for sharing your experience for others to see. Hearing loss does not happen over night, and does change with time, which is why we offer continued aftercare and support, and free annual hearing tests, so we can adjust things along the way to ensure you continue to hear the sounds you love.

I recently had a hearing test & hearing aid service with Jess, and I couldn't be happier with the service! From start to finish, Jess was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. She took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I felt comfortable and at ease. The entire experience was smooth and efficient, and when she left I felt confident in the results. I highly recommend Jess to anyone looking for a thorough and friendly hearing test & service.
