Misleading Reading!

I was very impressed with the consultant and his knowledge on the impact a loss of hearing can have on the patient. I had made the appointment based on advertising promoting hearing aid glasses which were very discreet for the person wearing them. Sadly that technology is not perfected for most of those suffering with hearing loss and age. However, the inner ear hearing aids which were promoted at the meeting are three times the cost of the hearing aids built into spectacles. This is not the fault of the consultant but the marketing company and the brand company employing them. The ad suggests the glasses aids are the same and as good as traditional hearing aids and we did not try the glasses to show that they were not suitable for my hearing loss. What I was shown and what was promoted to me were inner ear aids without the usual small box which sits on top or behind the ear and these smaller more discreet aids were unfortunately three times the price. The consultant was incredibly helpful and informative but I felt the promotional campaign is a little misleading and suggests its the answer to those of us who are very self conscious about wearing hearing aids even though the ads do say they might not be suitable to everyone with hearing loss. From what I learned that day - the glasses are very specific and limited in their ability to help those with hearing loss. It maybe I read what I was hoping for rather than what was realistic and achievable at this time!

Went for my annual check up but was amazed that nobody told me I was having new aids and had no idea and left with a bill for £4.600
I do feel this should have been explained beforehand as I did not understand that you have to change every 5 years

A pleasant and professional experience.

My visit to hidden hearing was a pleasant one. My consultation was professionally carried out and I am happy with the hearing that were recommended. The after care I have received from Victoria has been very friendly and professional.

Highly Recommended

I’ve been lucky enough never to have had trouble with my hearing, but latterly things have become a little muffled, so I made an appointment to get checked out and what a great experience from making the appointment to being seen by Roz for treatment - thank you!

Professional!


Today’s visit to the ear care clinic exceeded all my expectations. A big thank you to the receptionist for finding an appointment so quickly — it truly meant a lot.

And a very special thank you to Roz Clarke for her professional, efficient, and gentle care — for the second time now, and once again absolutely outstanding. My relief and gratitude are beyond words. Thank you for such wonderful care!

Hidden Hearing exploited my dying mother

Hidden Hearing in Bournemouth- exploited the failing health of my mother by selling her a £5000 hearing aid not fit for purpose! Finally got it resolved when in hospice, when Victoria reluctantly deigned to visit my dying mother - and made her feelings clear, which is utterly unprofessional inappropriate behaviour. Avoid if at all vunerable

Felt pressured into buying expensive hearing aids, couldn't use them as unbeknown to me had an ear infection. Probably due to having wax removal procedure. However I was refunded my money straightaway after complaining and returning the aids.
