H S Audiologicial is an independent business and operates within the premises of J.Oliver Radley Opticians Ltd, providing a complimentary service for our clients. Clients deal with H S Audiological direct for information, queries and making appointments for the free assessment, fittings and teaches etc.

As independent Hearing Aid Audiologists, H S Audiological Centres has build an enviable reputation for its quality of service from the initial enquiry with the patient care team, to the very thorough free consultations and hearing tests. Through continuous staff training on the latest products, development and specialised equipment, H S Audiological Centres can help you to rediscover the joys of improved hearing.

It is likely that more than half the retired population today experience hearing problems. There are around five million people in Britain, as a whole, with hearing difficulties worse enough for them to need a hearing aid. Hearing loss is nothing new, like deteriorating eyesight, it has always been an accepted part of ageing, and something we all take for granted. However, whereas the basic technology in spectacles and glasses has not changed for many years, the hearing aids today are light years ahead of even just a few years ago. New techniques and technology have revolutionised the quality and performance of currently available hearing aids.

An important ingredient in the H S Audiological Centres service is the comprehensive aftercare and support offered to all patients to ensure maximum benefit is gained from their hearing instruments. If you are unsure whether you have a hearing problem, you should probably consider the following symptoms. You may have a hearing problem if:

• You are told that you are listening to the television or radio too loud
• Relatives and friends seem to mumble more than they used to
• You ask people to repeat what they have just said
• You miss clarity of speech
• You notice increased difficulty following conversations in groups and in noisy places
• You have more trouble hearing at a distance such as in church, theatre or auditoriums
• Your family and friends comment on your inability to hear and possibly that you talk too loudly

Clearly if you can improve your hearing it will lead to a better quality of life and result in less frustration for yourself, your friends and family (it could help at work too). This can also help improve self-confidence and happiness

All consultations and eye examinations are free of charge and can take place at the practice or can be arranged as a free home visit, if mobility is a problem.
