Hearing tests and hearing aids available at our Hidden Hearing clinic at the Chaucer Hospital in Canterbury
It’s so important to have your hearing checked regularly, especially the older you get. Hearing loss can creep up on you. It can be so gradual that it’s not always easy to recognise or even accept. So if you’re worried about your hearing in any way, the best thing to do is to book a free hearing test.
And if you’ve never had a hearing test before, don’t worry – you can find out exactly what happens during a hearing test here
If you do suffer from hearing loss already, it’s important to keep on top of any changes to your hearing. Even if you’ve come to see us before, we still recommend having a regular check-up, at least once a year.
