Previously when I have needed to have ear wax removed I have gone to my GP surgery to have them syringed which has been a long and drawn out process. Today however I had suction on both ears at The Nottingham Hearing Practice to remove ear wax rather than going to my GP. From the moment of my first enquiry to the procedure itself, I cannot recommend them highly enough. I would definitely recommend them to others and will definitely be using their services again in the future.read more

Absolutely excellent service.I have always been to the NHS for syringing but because I felt vulnerable as have had embedded ear wax I wanted to feel that I was in expert hands with an audiologist. It was removed so professionally using micro suction which I havent had before and would certainly have again .I skipped out of there feeling wonderful and able to hear again. I would highly recommend this place.read more

From the moment I contacted this company I felt that they had listened to what I was saying about my brother and actually the audiologist ‘Jo’ remembered him from her time at the ropewalk about 15 years ago. She was kind, spoke to my brother, explained all about what was going to be done. The service was brilliant even in these difficult times. Will definitely be using their services again. Thank you.read more

Wow can't speak highly enough of this practice. Fantastic friendly and highly professional from first contact through to treatment. I felt fully confident after being talked through the choice of procedures available. Particular thanks to Jo who treated me for a blocked ear. Lost my hearing in the left ear and was diagnosed with an inner ear infection via the Nems Doctors on Sunday. He proscribed antibiotics and then told to see a nurse for unblocking my ear. Couldn't get in to see a nurse at my local practice for "2 weeks". It was making me feel quite ill, dizzy and had a lot of awful sounds rushing around my head let alone the feeling of pressure! So in desperation I did some research and found that microsuction is typically used in Hospitals nowadays and is considered safer than syringing. I looked around for a faster safer treatment as it was driving me insane. Although I'll admit to feeling a little apprehensive at first, I'm really happy I went through with it. The amount of horrible goo that came out was quite scary and somewhat embarrassing. I now feel some much better. The pressure has gone away and I can actually hear again in the ear. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Can't recommend you highly enough.read more

Visited this morning to get help with a completely blocked ear that has been bothering me for a few days. From the first phone call through to the procedure, the team have been brilliant. I was given sound advice on the phone to help care for my ear until the appointment, to find nearby parking, and what to expect during the treatment. The audiologist was very professional, friendly and understanding - procedures were well explained and I had full confidence throughout. Highly recommend this practice and thank you again - it has made such a difference!read more

I have just bought new digital hearing aids from the Nottingham Hearing Practice. From the very beginning, the whole process has been excellent. The Practice is a very clean and pleasant environment and all of the staff are highly knowledgeable and friendly. After a very comprehensive hearing test and investigation into which situations I found it most difficult to hear, Jo went through all of the options available for new hearing aids. She answered all of my many questions patiently and demonstrated a high level of skill as an Audiologist. I have had consultations with a number of Audiologists over the years since I started losing my hearing and Jo is the best that I have seen. A couple of weeks later, I was able to have my hearing aids fitted and adjusted with the same level of care and expertise. I can honestly say that my hearing is better now than it has been for years! Nothing is too much trouble for the staff here, and I would highly recommend them. A definite 5 star experience throughout.read more

I visited the Nottingham Hearing Practice today for a hearing test the whole experience from start to finish was excellent , the procedure was explained to me and put me at ease.

Just visited after totally losing my hearing in one ear due to a wax buildup. I previously visited my GP at the beginning of the year. A nurse used an irrigation machine, which caused some pain and discomfort, and only a small amount of wax was removed. I decided to go for a paid treatment with a hearing professional once the same ear became blocked again. It was a great decision as within 15 minutes, all of the wax was removed by suction, no discomfort or pain and everything was explained fully. I was even shown a video image of the blockage that looked like a wall of glass. I can now hear again, thank you. This will be my first option for any repeat of this issue in the future.read more

Having never needed anything like this before I was advised to have suction for a blocked ear. Easy and painless, took 5 minutes. Couldn't believe all the nasty brown wax that came out. Well worth the comfort and convenience of a private procedure, highly recommended.read more

Excellent service from start to finish. Staff were very friendly and I immediately felt at ease after Alan explained the procedure for ear wax removal. I had been suffering for weeks with blocked ears but wish I'd rang sooner. I can't recommend them enough and would be more than happy to use their services again. Highly recommended.read more

The Experience The ear clinic was easy to find & I was greeted warmly by Alan. His room was super clean, slightly clinical, with nice artwork of the inside of an ear hanging from the wall. Alan was sympathetic, understanding and made me feel at ease immediately He explained simply what was going to happen and that he would do his utmost to help. The Procedure Alan explained all of the equipment in the room and what he would be doing step by step. This gave me absolute clarity and comfort in what to expect since I felt some mild anxiety about what this was going to entail. First, he asked if I would like to see what he could see as he looked in my ears. He could show me a magnified version on the screen in front of me. Alan explained that this wax had been there for years and years, compacted down on top of more and more, so it becomes hard, dark and very difficult to remove by yourself Reality Alan explained it might feel tender at times as he might need to scape away at my funky old ear wax and to let him know so he could ease off if it did. My confidence in him helping me was huge because of the way he treated me. He managed to clear both ears completely and I sense he was as relieved as I was since it took longer than the average set of ears apparently! ;) My face was aching from smiling as I shook Alan’s hand vigorously, he was smiling too and I think he understood because as I was leaving I was almost crying, overcome with the joy of sound. I drove home smiling I had to turn my stereo down I enjoyed sounds Very very strongly recommend and I would go back because this was an investment NOT an expense! Thank you Alanread more

I can only say that visiting the Nottingham Hearing practice has been exellent from start to finish. I was unsure about purchasing my hearing aids but after being given a free trial of two hearing aid types I was so much more aware of sounds than I can remember. It has been a long time since I have received such personal service and impartial advice. Thankyou to all. Money very well spent.read more

I highly recommend the services of The Nottingham Hearing Practice to anyone suffering with ear wax.

My GP practice has stopped carrying out ear wax removal, a procedure I have needed every 1 to 2 years since the 1980's, leaving me with a problem. I was recently in Beeston and I spotted that The Nottingham Hearing Practice did the procedure by micro suction. I did some research, liked what I saw and made an appointment. I am so glad I did, they did an amazing job of removing my ear wax, using irrigation and micro suction, showing me via a camera what the inside of my ears looked like before and after. I am delighted I now have a solution to this recurring issue and I cannot recommend them enough.read more

After putting off getting my hearing tested, I visited Jo at the Hearing Practice. The service I received was exceptional, nothing was a problem while I spent 2 months trying 3 different manufacturers hearing aids. Jo, whilst leading with her professional expertise, was prepared to listen to my thoughts and opinions, resulting in my being very happy with the outcome. I suspect there may be cheaper places to go to, but I doubt the level of service will come close.read more

: After having a very disappointing and frustrating experience with the purchase of my last hearing aids, I thank my lucky stars I found the Nottingham Hearing Centre in Beeston and Alan Jackson where customer care and attention to detail is at the core of their business. Alan was a breath of fresh air after my corporate experience. Independent, approachable, focusing on my specific needs and supplying a product that has exceeded my expectations. This has been a very professional and efficient company in all my dealings with them. Brian Fitzwaterread more

I trialled 3 types of hearing aids and chose the Oticon Opn's. They have made a huge impact on my life as I am now able to use the telephone independently and the Bluetooth capabilities are ace. I am able to stream to my mobile and no one knows I'm listening to music. I can also stream my telephone calls, which is funny to see other people's reactions until I explain to them, I'm not just talking to myself! I'd highly recommend to visit this practice, for the personal approach from the Audiologists, down to the technology they are able to offer. I'm 28 years old and definitely proud to wear my hearing aids.read more

It has taken me a couple of years to get the courage to do something about wax build up as I hate anything in my ears. Out of sheer deafness I took the plunge. The whole experience of using the hearing practice was fantastic. Easy to book and friendly staff. Alan did an amazing job of my ear and i can’t beleive how much I can hear now. Alan was very kind, caring and gentle and the wax was removed in around 15 minutes with no discomfort. I would recommend and would happily return if it builds up again. £55 I felt was a very reasonable price. Thank you so much.read more

I had been having problems with my hearing due to excessive wax, my Doctor had "fobbed me off" and I was nearly deaf in my left ear! I found this lovely practice online and decided to pop in and make an appointment. Mrs Herrod was able to see me straight away and was able to remove a large amount of wax from both ears. The treatment was painless, just a slight tickling sensation, she was very polite and professional. I was able to see on the monitor the "before and after" in both ears, wow, what an improvement! I would highly recommend this practice to anyone having problems with earwax.read more

Fantastic experience at the Nottingham Hearing Practice. I had suction and irrigation to both ears to clear them of a build up of wax.

I will definitely use the service again, can't rate them high enough!read more

J0 had been looking after me for three years when I thought that I had lost her. I was so pleased to find her again in Beeston. Not only her, but Alan as well, who had fitted me up with hearing aids in the first place. They are both such caring and helpful people, who work in a very pleasant environment. Since finding them, Jo has removed wax from my ear by suction-- an efficient and painless process -- and given me a full hearing test, both done with care and consideration. I would recommend them to anyone.read more

This week I was in a pretty desperate state with severe pain and tinnitus from a blocked ear and having been unable to sleep the night before, I was desperately marching around central avenue in west Bridgford to see if any of the opticians/hearing centres could help me or point me in the direction of someone who could! By some absolute miracle Jo was in the same shop, overheard my pleading with the staff and offered to help me out on a Saturday afternoon as she was going in to the shop anyway.... The process was quick, clearly explained, professional and comfortable and I cannot thank her enough for helping me out at such short notice. Would go back in a heart beat if the same happened again!read more

I visited the practise after failing a hearing test for a new job. Id heard about a new way of having your ears cleared out through suction instead of water irrigation. I spoke with Jo on the phone and she was extremely friendly and talked to me about the process. They booked me in really quickly and the whole process on the day was slick and Jo and Alan were great. They also conducted a hearing test with me and gave me some really useful insights off the back of the results. I would strongly recommend this clinic and the team here to anyone.read more

I went to my GP with a problem of build up of wax in my right ear. Due to being 80% deaf in my left ear this was causing so many difficulties. My GP couldn’t have been more unhelpful, such a shame as I think the NHS are great in so many ways (but not all) After being told to go home and search google for ear wax removal I came across The Nottingham Hearing Practice in Beeston, the lady audiologist was great she explained everything and put me at ease. The relief when the wax was removed from my good ear can not be put into words. I was so impressed with this company’s approach and customer service that under my own volition, I have booked for a hearing aid test for my deaf ear. Would I recommend this practice and the staff that work there? Yes I would. Carl Whiteread more
