Why You Should Have a Hearing Test in Birmingham Before Buying Hearing Aids

Hearing aids should never be recommended without a thorough clinical assessment first. A hearing evaluation needs to diagnose any issues with ear wax prior to a hearing assessment. We need to take in to consideration your lifestyle, nature of loss, dexterity and cognitive capacity before we genuinely arrive at a solution.

Our Birmingham hearing assessments include:

1. Full diagnostic audiometry
2. Tympanometry
3. QuickSIN (speech-in-noise test)
4. AB Word List
5. ACT Test (Audible Contrast Threshold)
6. REMs – Real Ear Measurements

This is a more thorough level of testing than most high street hearing aid providers offer.
Attending a hearing test in Birmingham carries no obligation to purchase and a free hearing
aid trial for a week. Many patients simply benefit from the clarity and reassurance a
professional assessment provides.

Hearing Aid Options Available In Birmingham

Digital, Rechargeable, & Discreet Hearing Aids

If hearing aids are considered the most effective solution, our patient will be made aware of the various choices available to them in a clear and straightforward manner. Modern hearing aids come in discreet in-ear, behind-the-ear, and rechargeable hearing aid options, making them suitable for everyday use.

The best option is based on your hearing profile, lifestyle, and listening needs based on subjective & objective testing parameters during your consultation. If hearing aids are required, a no obligation hearing aid trial version will be initiated to give you a firsthand experience of how they function before making a long-term decision.

NHS vs Private Hearing Aids – What Birmingham Patients Should Know

Understanding your options helps you make an informed choice.  NHS audiology services in Birmingham provide access to hearing aids and clinical care, though wait times can be longer and the range of devices more limited. Private hearing care, such as the service we provide, typically offers:

1. Faster access to appointments in Birmingham

2. A wider selection of hearing aid models and brands

3. Invisible discrete hearing aid solutions

4. NHS gives you the option of only one hearing aid that may not be suited to your specific listening needs

5. Same day appointments for hearing aid repairs and adjustments

6. Hearing aids that will actually help you to hear in background noise with aggressive noise reduction technology

Both NHS and private options are valid. The choice you make depends on what type of bespoke solution you are looking for.

How Much Do Hearing Aids Cost in Birmingham?

The cost of hearing aids varies based on technology level, the complexity of your hearing loss, and the level of aftercare included. Private hearing aids are usually quoted in ranges to reflect the personalised nature of hearing care, rather than fixed prices.

Features such as rechargeability, Bluetooth connectivity, or advanced background noise handling can influence cost. Your audiologist will explain these options during your appointment so that you can decide what aligns with your needs and circumstances.

Factors that can influence the cost include:

1. How much noise reduction you need in the hearing aids

2. Bluetooth connectivity and assistive listening devices which significantly help you hear the tv and in background noise more efficiently

3. Level of aftercare and support you need with hearing aids 

4. Rechargable options and how discrete the hearing aids are Your audiologist will explain all costs transparently during your appointment. For a detailed guide, visit our Hearing Aid Prices page.

Great service. Tahiya was polite and persistent when the earwax removal needed to take a bit longer (I'd never been before). I'd recommend and I'll be back in the future.

I visited the clinic and was seen by Danish, who was kind, professional, and reassuring. He took around 30 minutes to safely remove a troublesome wax blockage from my left ear using micro-suction. The procedure was quick, painless, and surprisingly satisfying. Exceptional service - highly recommended!

Oh my god! She is a miracle worker! She put me at ease, didn’t tell me off to much for using cotton buds (naughty)…

Fast, efficient and I got to see the earwax being removed on the screen, which was so satisfying!

Brilliant! I definitely will be back!

I booked in for a ear wax removal after 2- 3 weeks of blocked ears. I arrived to the clinic today and seen practitioner Aamna who checked my ears and determined my ears were not blocked by a build up of wax. I was given a otovent kit to try help me hear properly again. I just arrived home and tried it and it has worked a treat!! I now can hear everything crystal clear after 2 weeks of hearing virtually nothing. Would recommend this place to anyone and everyone 😀

I saw Danish at such short notice, he was lovely and reassuring, and worked for around half an hour to remove a plug of wax which caused me hearing loss and much discomfort. To start off I sat in the chair and Danish showed me inside my ears on a big screen in front of me, and it was nice after the procedure to be shown that they were completely clear of wax. I had micro suction and irrigation to remove the wax, both of which were completely painless and some what a satisfying feeling. I would highly recommend this clinic, they are very professional and helpful and definitely visit again in the future. Their online booking procedure is handy and even when I called about booking the receptionist was very helpful and kind. Top service, thank you!

Hearing Aids – Frequently Asked Questions

The 60-60 rule is a basic rule that says you shouldn’t use audio devices at more than 60% volume for more than 60 minutes at a time. This can help lower the risk of hearing loss from loud noises. This is general guidance and may not apply to everyone.

This means taking breaks often when you first start using hearing aids so that your brain can get used to the new sounds and you don’t become tired of listening. This may vary and may not apply to everyone.

Hearing aids that cost more may have more features, but that doesn’t mean they are better for all people. Suitability is based on the person’s hearing loss and lifestyle needs.

A hearing aid that works well for you is an excellent one. Costs vary in the UK based on technology and aftercare; NHS hearing aids are provided at no direct cost.

There is no single correct price. A good hearing aid means equipment that provide the right amount of support and comfort based on a clinical examination.

The cost of hearing aids can vary depending on the level of the technology chosen. Talking to an audiologist will help you figure out what kind of hearing aid you need before you make a financial decision.
