The Hearing care partnership
Corsham Opticians is proud to work alongside The Hearing Care Partnership to provide our patients with expert hearing care from fully qualified and registered audiologists.
full hearing assessments
Regular hearing tests are vital because hearing can deteriorate gradually, so issues are easier to correct the sooner they’re detected. All hearing tests with The Hearing Care Partnership are thorough, personalised, carried out by expert audiologists and completely free of charge.
Assessments include:
Discussion of your hearing and lifestyle background
Word discrimination and speech in noise testing
Full colour video otoscopy of the outer ear, eardrum and canal to explore causes of possible hearing loss
Pure tone audiometry to diagnose the level of any hearing loss
An audiogram showing your hearing ability at different frequencies
A report of your hearing health
As part of your free hearing test, your audiologist will demonstrate different hearing aid options, should they be required. Free trials are also available.
Ear wax removal
We offer an ear wax removal service using the latest, safest wax removal methods.
Ear wax (cerumen) contains antibacterial agents and plays a vital part in preventing infections in your ears. It also traps dust and other foreign bodies, as well as keeping the skin in your ears moisturised. Small amounts of ear wax are normal and healthy, and it usually works its way out of your ear naturally.
However, ear wax can sometimes block your ear, bringing on symptoms including temporary hearing loss, ringing or itchiness. This is most commonly caused by it being pushed into the ear canal by a cotton bud or similar items people use to try to clean wax from their ears.
The ear is an extremely sensitive and delicate organ, so wax should only ever be removed by a trained, experienced professional – never try it yourself. Fewer and fewer GP surgeries now provide ear wax removal, but our expert audiologists are on hand with the highest quality clinical care to help keep your hearing crystal clear.
A wax removal appointment is subject to a flat fee of £70 and will be done by manual removal, water irrigation or microsuction.
Hearing aids
The Hearing Care Partnership offers the very latest hearing aid technology, including custom-fit invisible hearing aids and rechargeable hearing aids. Alongside our cutting-edge hearing aids, you’ll benefit from ongoing aftercare with annual hearing tests, servicing and even new batteries, all wrapped up in a convenient, personalised service package.
We understand that hearing aids can be a big investment, which is why we offer a payment plan to help you spread the cost.
You have the option to pay for your hearing aid package by direct debit over a period of 10 months with no interest, no arrangement fees and no hidden extra charges.
If you currently wear NHS hearing aids and would like more information on new hearing technology, our hearing experts will be happy to help. We can also provide repairs and checks as part of our Hearing Aid Clean & Check service.
other services
The Hearing Care Partnership also offer tinnitus consultations and provides expert hearing protection services ranging from basic ear plugs to custom-moulded specialist products for music, shooting, motor sports, water sports and much more.
