A thorough hearing test in a sound-proofed room with an NHS-trained, independent audiologist. Results explained there and then. No pressure to buy.
A full hearing aid assessment with an NHS-trained audiologist who supplies all makes. Try current hearing aids, get an honest recommendation, and take your time.
£55 for a full hearing test. We're independent, so you're paying for an expert's time and an honest answer, not a sales appointment.
£95 for a 90-minute assessment. No fee if you order hearing aids at the appointment, and it's deducted from any you order within two months.

Hearing changes gradually, so it's usually the people around you who notice first.
We're independent, and we don't work to a manufacturer's sales target. Plenty of people leave with reassurance rather than a hearing aid. A free test has to be paid for somehow, usually at the end of the appointment. We'd rather charge a fair £55 and give you an honest answer.

Michael trained at the Royal Surrey County Hospital in Guildford and spent 10 years in the NHS. He then worked at an independent Harley Street hearing and balance clinic, and for Signia on hearing aid technology and training UK audiologists.
He knows the technology from the inside. Now he gives independent advice across all makes, including Starkey and Phonak.
mi Ears is a family-run clinic, and you may meet Oscar, our clinic dog, who keeps nervous visitors company.
Raising someone's hearing can be awkward, and people often brush it off. Knowing there's no pressure to buy anything here can make it an easier conversation to start.
You're very welcome to come along with them. Please book using the patient's name and details.

A full hearing test is £55. That covers a look inside your ears on screen, a hearing test in our sound-proofed room, tympanometry to check your eardrum and middle ear, and your results explained in plain English. There's nothing more to pay unless you choose hearing aids.
We're independent, so we don't rely on a hearing aid sale to pay for your appointment. A free test has to be paid for somehow, usually at the end of the appointment. We'd rather charge a fair fee for an audiologist's time and give you a straight answer.
The hearing test (£55) tells you where your hearing stands. The hearing aid assessment (£95, 90 minutes) adds speech and speech-in-noise testing, a chance to try current hearing aids and a recommendation. Its fee isn't payable if you order hearing aids at the appointment.
The hearing test takes 30 minutes. The hearing aid assessment takes around 90 minutes, so there's time to talk things through properly and try hearing aids if you'd like to.
No. We're independent and don't work to a manufacturer's sales target. Plenty of people leave with reassurance rather than a hearing aid. If hearing aids would help, we'll explain your options clearly and you can take as long as you like to decide.
No. You can book directly with us online or by phone. You don't need a referral or a letter from your GP, and there's no waiting list to join.
Wax is a common cause of muffled hearing, and we'll check for it. Ear wax removal is a separate appointment, £70 for both ears. If you think wax is the problem, you can book ear wax removal here or call us to talk it through.

Yes, please do. A partner or family member is very welcome at any appointment. It can help to have someone you trust there when we talk through your results and any recommendations.
We're independent and supply all makes, including Starkey and Phonak, so we can recommend what suits your hearing and your budget. All our hearing aids come with a 60-day trial. Call us and we'll talk you through the options.
