At Hughes Opticians, we recognise the essential link between vision and hearing health. That’s why we are excited to offer professional hearing services through our partnership with Peninsula Hearing Care. Our goal is to provide you with comprehensive care that includes everything from complimentary hearing assessments to advanced hearing aid solutions, all alongside our trusted optical services.
FREE HEARING TESTS
Did you know that around 1 in 5 adults experience some degree of hearing loss, often without realising it? Hearing loss can develop gradually, making early detection challenging. You might find yourself turning up the TV volume, struggling to engage in conversations in busy environments, or frequently asking others to repeat themselves. This is why regular hearing checks are crucial.
Our complimentary hearing assessments are a convenient way to monitor your hearing health, detect any changes early, and take proactive steps to maintain your hearing. Whether you've noticed a difference or simply want peace of mind, booking a free hearing test is the first step toward clearer, more confident hearing.
If hearing aids are recommended, we provide a wide selection of cutting-edge options from leading brands. Our range includes discreet models, Bluetooth-enabled devices, and rechargeable options, all designed to fit seamlessly into your lifestyle.
As an independent provider, we focus on finding the best hearing aid for you, ensuring comfort, clarity, and ease of use. With all of our hearing aids we provide lifetime aftercare, including servicing and repairs, and up to 5 years warranty. This ensures you can have confidence knowing your hearing health is well taken care of for years to come.
EAR WAX REMOVAL
Excess ear wax can lead to discomfort, muffled hearing, and issues with hearing aids. Our expert ear wax removal service provides a safe and effective solution.
Utilising advanced micro-suction technology, we offer a gentle, pain-free method that doesn’t require water. Our trained audiologists can quickly and comfortably clear blockages, restoring your hearing clarity. If you’re experiencing blocked ears or reduced hearing, book an appointment today for prompt and effective relief.
