Why choose us for your hearing aids?
Forget what you know about hearing aids. They are no longer the big, beige, bulky, whistling boomerangs, they are smaller, discreet, dinky devices. With the right guidance and a professional fitting, hearing aids are life changing.
We fit tiny hearing aids that fit snugly in your ear canal, or hearing aids that have Bluetooth for iPhone or Android compatibility. Some just want something simple, and we can do that, too!
There are hearing aids that suit every need.
We’re Independent
We are not tied to, or owned by a manufacturer – giving you unbeatable choice from the largest range of hearing aid types, styles and brands on the market. We dispense aids that suit your needs, not the needs of shareholders.
We provide the latest digital aids from all the leading manufacturers including ReSound, Starkey, Widex, Unitron, Oticon, Phonak, Signia, and more!
Which! has named Independent practices as the best providers for 2025, again.
We’re A Family Practice
Our practice has been established for over 20 years, and is still being run and owned by Martyn, his wife Pippa, and son Mike.
We have built a small team over many years and we strive to provide you with a continuity of care – allowing you to build a relationship with your Audiologist.
You’re not just a number: we do not keep any hearing aids in stock – each hearing aid fitted has been made bespoke to each individual based on their own requirements, preferences and other variables.
Evidence-based Hearing Aid Fitting
Although hearing aids have made significant advances in recent years, they only work for you if the settings are correct. It’s essential that the devices are programmed and fitted correctly to your individual hearing prescription, otherwise you may only receive a fraction of the potential benefit.
At Hearing Aid Solutions, we use best practice, and evidence based protocols such as Real Ear Measurements (REMs) and speech in noise testing to guarantee the best possible outcome for your hearing.
Hearing Aid Packages: Find the Right Hearing Aid Support for Your Life
Choosing hearing aids shouldn’t feel like guesswork. At Hearing Aid Solutions, we offer five technology levels, from Basic to Platinum, so you can find the level that fits the way you live, not just the way you hear.
A higher level isn’t automatically “better” for everyone. Someone who mostly chats at home and watches TV may be perfectly served by a simpler aid. Someone who juggles busy restaurants, meetings, choirs and family gatherings will benefit from more advanced technology. We’ll help you work out where you sit.
How much do hearing aids cost?
Every person’s hearing is different, so your price depends on your hearing needs, your lifestyle and your budget. The guide prices below are for a pair of hearing aids and are a starting point only. Your exact quote is confirmed at your appointment, once we know what you actually need.

Why the fit matters more than the price tag
Even the most advanced hearing aid can disappoint if it isn’t set up properly for your ears. That’s why, at Hearing Aid Solutions, we use real ear measurements as part of your fitting.
What are real ear measurements? Every ear canal is a different shape and size, which changes how sound behaves inside it. We place a tiny, soft probe microphone in your ear canal, next to your hearing aid, and measure the sound that actually reaches your ear. We then fine-tune your hearing aids so they deliver the amplification your hearing needs.
Why does it matter? Without it, hearing aids are programmed from average estimates and a computer’s best guess. With it, we can check that your hearing aids are doing what they should, so speech is clearer, sounds are more comfortable and you get the most from the technology you’ve invested in.
It’s a quick, painless part of your appointment, and it’s one of the reasons our patients get so much from their hearing aids. Ask any provider whether they do it. We think you’ll want the answer to be yes.

Hearing aid styles
All of our packages allow you to choose from any of our digital hearing aid styles, including our invisible hearing aids.
Receiver in canal (RIC)
RIC hearing aids have a component behind the ear connected to a receiver in the ear canal by a thin wire. They combine functionality and a discreet appearance, for a sleek design that ensures natural sound quality.
Pros:
– Arguably the most discreet type of hearing aid, as there is only a thin wire visible from the front.
– Bluetooth – these hearing aids are able to stream phone calls, music, podcasts and more from your smartphone straight into your ears.
– Fitting range: suitable from mild to severe hearing losses (if fitted with a small custom piece at the end of the wire).
– Available as rechargeable or battery operated.
Cons:
– Can be tricky to get if your ears if you have poor dexterity.
Behind the ear (BTE)
BTE hearing aids have a main component that sits comfortably behind your ear, connected to a custom-moulded earmold inside your ear canal or the bowl of your ear. These earmolds are shaped to fit your ear precisely, ensuring great sound and comfort. BTE aids are designed to handle a wide range of hearing losses and provide a robust, versatile solution.
Pros:
- Robust: the electronic components are above your ear, which means you’re able to clean the earmould without risking damage. This is important for those with ear drum perforations or frequent infections.
- Bluetooth: these hearing aids are able to stream phone calls, music, podcasts and more from your smartphone straight into your ears.
- Fitting range: the strongest hearing aids on the market – they are suitable from mild to profound hearing losses.
- Available as rechargeable or battery operated.
Cons:
- BTE hearing aids are larger than most other hearing aids.
In the canal (ITC)
ITC hearing aids sit just in the entrance to your ear canal. They are discreet, easy to handle and can fit a wide variety of hearing losses. You can choose the colour depending on preference.
Pros:
- Easy to handle and adjust due to their size.
- Bluetooth: these hearing aids are able to stream phone calls, music, podcasts and more from your smartphone straight into your ears.
- Available as rechargeable or battery operated.
- They work well with phones due to their placement in the ear.
- They have dual microphones which can help you hear in noisy environments.
Cons:
- As they live in your ear canal, they require you to clean them thoroughly and frequently.
In the ear (ITE)
ITE hearing aids sit in the bowl of your ear, and are slightly larger than their ITC siblings. They are easy to handle, have a range of accessibility tools, and can fit a wide variety of hearing losses.
You can choose the colour depending on preference.
Pros:
- Easy to handle and adjust due to their size.
- Bluetooth: these hearing aids are able to stream phone calls, music, podcasts and more from your smartphone straight into your ears.

Completely in the canal (CIC)
Similar to in the canal (ITC) devices, these hearing aids also sit inside the ear canal but are smaller and sit slightly further down the ear canal.
You can choose the colour depending on preference.
Completely in the canal hearing aids are suitable for mild to moderate hearing losses.
Pros:
- Extremely discreet.
- They work well with phones due to their placement in the ear.
- Limited wind noise due to placement in the ear.
Cons:
- No Bluetooth connection to phone, or connectivity to remote controls etc.
- Battery life: they use the smallest batteries so expect them to last 3-4 days before needing changing.

Assistive devices
Hearing aids are just one piece of the puzzle when it comes to listening success: degree of hearing loss, ability to lip read, background noise, the speaker, and how your brain processes sound are examples of variables influencing your success.
Some devices will play the sound of your TV directly into your ears, or help you pick out the speaker when you’re at a table at a restaurant.
Assistive devices start at £125.

Real ear measurements check that your hearing aids are working correctly in your ears. They are included in the price of the hearing aids.
That’s completely normal. Your audiologist will talk through your daily routine, the situations you find difficult and your budget, then recommend the best options for you.
Many people benefit from hearing aids in both ears, but it depends on your hearing. We’ll advise you after your assessment. Single-aid options are available.
The prices shown are guide prices only. Your exact quote depends on your hearing needs, your lifestyle and your budget, and is always confirmed at your appointment.
People live very different lives. The levels reflect how well the hearing aids cope with more complex listening situations, along with warranty length and included extras. We’ll help you choose based on how you live, not on the highest price.
That’s exactly what we’re here to figure out together. After your diagnostic hearing test, we’ll discuss your lifestyle, your listening priorities, your preferences around style and discretion, and your budget. We work with a range of leading manufacturers and will match you to a device that genuinely suits your needs — not the one with the highest margin.
It means exactly what it says. For as long as you’re using your hearing aids, you can come back to us as often as you need — for fine-tuning, adjustments, troubleshooting, or just a catch-up to make sure everything is working well for you. There are no extra fees for any of this. We believe good hearing care doesn’t stop the moment you walk out the door.
Our hearing aids start from £1,795 per pair, and that price includes your initial testing, a professional REM fitting, and unlimited aftercare for the life of the devices. There are no hidden charges for follow-up appointments or adjustments — we’re with you every step of the way.
Real Ear Measurements (REM) involve placing a tiny microphone in your ear canal to measure exactly how sound is being delivered by the hearing aid in your specific ear. Every ear is shaped differently, so this ensures your hearing aids are precisely calibrated for you — not just programmed to a generic average. It’s the gold standard of hearing aid fitting and something most high street providers simply don’t offer.
NHS hearing aids are a fantastic resource, but waiting times can be long and the range of devices is limited. With us, you have access to the latest technology from leading manufacturers, a fully tailored fitting using Real Ear Measurements (a gold-standard fitting technique rarely used on the high street), and unlimited aftercare for the life of your devices. You’re not just buying a hearing aid — you’re investing in ongoing professional support.
