Hearing aid consultations

A hearing aid consultation at The Chepstow Hearing Clinic is free. It covers everyday hearing needs, an ear examination, and the chance to see and try real devices before any purchase decision.

45 to 60 minutesNo referral needed

In short

A hearing aid consultation assesses how hearing loss affects the patient in daily life, including conversation in background noise and difficulty hearing the television. The appointment includes an examination of the ears and a clear explanation of the available options. Where a hearing aid is recommended, the patient can trial a device before making any commitment.

What to expect

Four simple steps

1

We talk first

Before anything clinical, we ask about your life. Where you struggle most, who you talk to, what you'd miss if it got worse.

2

We look and listen

A proper look inside your ears, and a hearing test if you haven't had one recently, so any recommendation is based on facts, not guesswork.

3

You try real devices

If a hearing aid could help, we'll put one in your ear there and then, so you hear the difference for yourself rather than taking our word for it.

4

You decide, in your own time

No deadline. Ask us about trying a device in everyday life, and come back whenever you're ready to talk again.

Why it's worth the hour

Why it's worth an hour

Many people live with hearing changes for some time before getting them checked. A consultation is a free, no-pressure way to find out where you stand.

Nothing here commits you to anything. If your hearing turns out to be fine, we'll say so. If a hearing aid would genuinely help, we'll explain why and let you try one. Either way, you leave knowing more than when you walked in.

Consultations FAQ

Common questions

Is the hearing aid consultation really free?

Yes, completely. There's no charge for the appointment and no obligation to buy anything afterwards.

What happens if I don't need a hearing aid?

We'll tell you honestly. Plenty of people leave with just an ear check or some advice, and that's a perfectly good outcome.

How long does a consultation take?

Around 45 minutes to an hour. That covers a chat about your hearing and lifestyle, a look in your ears, and time to try devices if that's useful.

Can I try a hearing aid before deciding?

Yes. Ask us about trying a hearing aid in your normal life before committing. We'll explain the terms in writing.

Do I need a referral from my GP?

No referral needed. You can book directly with us, and we'll let your GP know if there's ever a medical reason to.
