Hearing care at The Hammond Optical Practice
At The Hammond Optical Practice, we believe that your hearing deserves the same level of care and attention as your eyesight. That is why we have partnered with Amplify Hearing to bring professional hearing services directly to our practice. Whether you need a routine hearing check, support with tinnitus or guidance on hearing aids, we are here to help.


Complimentary hearing checks
Many people are surprised to learn that hearing loss often develops slowly over time. Because the changes can be subtle, regular hearing checks are one of the best ways to stay on top of your hearing health.
We offer complimentary hearing checks carried out by Kaz, our qualified audiologist. Appointments usually last between 45 and 60 minutes and include:
A discussion about any hearing changes and your daily listening needs
A gentle look inside your ears
A complete hearing check
Clear results explained in an easy to understand way
Personal recommendations with no pressure to buy
Professional ear wax removal
Ear wax plays an important role in protecting your ears, but a build up can sometimes cause problems such as muffled hearing, discomfort or blocked ears. Our microsuction ear wax removal service provides a safe and effective solution.
Microsuction is a gentle, water free technique that removes excess wax quickly and comfortably. The appointment usually takes around 15 minutes and most people notice immediate improvement in hearing and comfort. If you wear hearing aids, regular wax removal is especially important to ensure your aids perform at their best.

Hearing aids to fit your lifestyle
If your hearing check shows that hearing aids could help, we offer a wide choice of modern devices to suit different preferences and lifestyles. As an independent practice, we offer hearing aids from all leading brands along with honest, unbiased advice.
What we provide:
A discussion about any hearing changes and your daily listening needs
A gentle look inside your ears
A complete hearing check
Clear results explained in an easy to understand way
Personal recommendations with no pressure to buy
Your audiologist will guide you through your options and help you choose your perfect hearing aids.
