Best experience

I visited the Hearing Hub today for the first time. I've been wearing a hearing aid for nearly 50 years and having wax removed regularly too. Today was the best experience I've ever had. Laura was kind and patient and obviously very well qualified. Thank you so much. I'm recommending your service to all my friends.

Waste of money and time

Waste of money and time, staff seem miserable and unprofessional atmosphere. Not able to help with any inner ear issues or push any referrals for ENT. Still have to pay a fee of 20 pounds for no service.

Dear Emma,

I apologise for the dissatisfaction you experienced during your visit to The Hearing Hub. We regret that we were unable to address your specific symptoms as they fall outside the scope of our treatment capabilities.

I want to clarify that our consultation fee encompasses the examination of your ears, utilisation of a video otoscope to provide a visual assessment, and conducting a hearing screen to evaluate any potential hearing loss, as well as offering guidance regarding your treatment options.

However, it is important to note that we are unable to expedite the NHS ENT waitlists unless a patient expresses a desire for private healthcare.

We value your feedback and appreciate the opportunity to assist you. If there is anything else we can do to provide further assistance, please do not hesitate to let us know.

Best regards,
Dr Gladys Sanda

Great service from Navjith

Great service from Navjith. In addition to unblocking ears (pain free), completed the service by showing ear canal and drum via camera. 10/10.

Very smooth medical procedure at Slough Hub

I've struggled with blocked ear problems occasionally over the years, but a recent 7 week stint of big hearing loss, despite several packs of Otex, convinced me to try suction. Wow. The procedure was smooth, painless and professionally performed, and the result has massively improved my quality of life. The Hearing Hub offered me a free return visit to clean my other ear after the inspection showed it was too dry initially. A week hence, with some olive oil to soften on my part, and gargantuan horrors were removed from what, I thought, was my good ear! Wow. My head feels clear and everything sounds pin sharp. Overall a fantastic value procedure from Hearing Hub, 5*

As good as it gets!!

I have today had both my ears thoroughly cleaned (they badly needed it!) by Neethu at the Ilford practice.
It was an outstanding experience with Neethu explaining everything as we went through the process.
I cannot praise Neethu enough.

Lovely patient practitioner

My hearing was previously damaged (not I hasten to add by the Hearing Hub) by being micro- suctioned ( the noise was absolutely AWFUL) so this time I looked for someone who could use water irrigation to remove the wax. Not a lot of places do anymore. I was VERY nervous due to the harm already done to my ears but the gentleman ptactitioner at Slough was very understanding, very patient & very kind. The wax was removed with no impact on my already damaged hearing. So thank you very, very much. I shall certainly be returning

The Hearing Hub Billericay - professional, helpful & caring ladies!!

I recently had 2 appointments at the Billericay site. My initial appointment with Tetiana revealed that I had impacted ear wax in both ears. She spent considerable time and effort to remove the wax, but unfortunately my narrow ear canals were having none of it! I returned 10 days later after applying olive oil drops to soften the wax, as recommended. This time I saw Laura who was thankfully, able to remove the offending wax. Both ladies were extremely patient, professional and did everything to put me at ease. They both used micro suction and irrigation to deal with my issue. I have never had a problem like this before, I’m 66 now....so haven’t done too bad I guess? My GP didn’t have a clue to be frank and had given me some drops, which would have done very little in my circumstances. He told me any wax would just drop out by itself......Luckily I had the foresight to go to the experts......and I would recommend The Hearing Hub to anyone with similar problems. I paid only once for the 2 appointments - and I am eternally grateful to both ladies who treated me ❤️

The Hearing Hub - Disappointing Treatment

UPDATE Still a very well timed coincidence, mycright ear was nit blocked until your technician put the instrument into my ear, it was instant blockage. Btw the 2nd appointment was only FOC after I questioned it, was told I would have to pay at first. Anyway all I am interested in now is getting my balance and blocked ear sorted, I will always beleive my problems were caused by your technician, obviously you will deny this so we have to agree to disagree. Thank you for your good wishes I need them as I cannot drive or anything now until this resolves, I will not reply to anymore posts as its too tedious.
It now appears it is the crystals in my ears making my balance and dizziness occur. I understand The Hearing Hub will say it is coincidence however it appears that this condition can be a side effect from micro suction so in my opinion not a coincidence! I attended as one ear needed micro suction advised by the hearing department at my lical hospital.The technician spent a long time on the ear that did not have much wax on and the ear I needed to be micro suctioned hardly anytime at all, it seemed he put the instrument in then took it out. As soon as he did that my ear blocked and has been blocked since. I returned FOC another person showed me inside my ears, they were both inflamed and the blocked one looked 'dull' she advised olive oil. I have now tried everything from olive oil, anti biotics, steam, nasal sprays etc nothing has worked and the ear us still blocked and I am still suffering dizzy spells.
The Hearing Hub are not interested in helping me resolve this, they just send me leaflets on other ear conditions, which it could well be but it seems too much of a coincidence that ear blocks as soon as he did something. I have given the Hub chance to help me with advice etc but they do not want to which is disappointing as this is effecting my life.
The first person I saw was told I have bad hearing and he needed to speak up but he still just mumbled behind a mask, that also was not good as I could not hear him properly, the second person I saw was much more helpful and spoke up.
Just very disappointed with after treatment as I now have to pay privately to see an ENT consultant, obviously I would not go back again to The Hearing Hub.

Hi Lynne,

Update to your update:

Dizziness as a side effect of microsuction would only be temporary, due to the temporary change in temperature in the ear canal from the cool air emitted by the machine.

If your ENT consultant has told you that the dizziness is due to crystals, this sounds like benign paroxysmal positional vertigo which is a completely separate but common condition. This is not something that would be caused by microsuction as the procedure itself in the outer ear cannot impact the crystals (otoconia) in the inner ear.

We must provide potential patients with accurate information. Nevertheless, we do now hope with the appropriate treatment you do feel better soon.

—————

We're sorry to have received your review of your experience. We understand how frustrating it can be when you feel that your issues have not been resolved.

We tried to help you as much as possible by offering you a complimentary appointment with another clinician who examined and showed you your ears on camera. This appointment was 2 weeks after your first appointment and as you say, it was noted that your ears were inflamed. Olive oil was solely recommended for the dry skin that you were informed about in both appointments (dry skin can cause wax build up so this was just a preventative).

It was noted that your right ear drum was dull, and this does not occur due to microsuction. Generally dullness of the ear represents a problem in the middle ear (behind the ear drum). This is why your GP prescribed you nasal decongestants to try to clear the congestion in the middle ear space. We tried to explain that this is not something that we can deal with at The Hearing Hub as we cannot prescribe medication.

We understand that it feels like a coincidence but eustachian tube dysfunction and the presence of wax can co-exist. Generally, if primary care treatment of these symptoms do not resolve the issue, seeing an ENT consultant is what is recommended, as we simply cannot treat this in our clinics.

We provided the leaflet as this has a wealth of information and advice on what we and the GP both believe the issue is, and we feel that having a physical copy stops patients from having to memorise what we've advised them in clinic - we're sorry that you feel that it was not enough.

We do hope that you get this sorted, and for what it is worth, we do agree that seeing an ENT consultant is the best next move.
