It was welcoming and I was treated in good time . Well worth it for my hearing. Recommend them for ear cleansing
The audiologist is very nice. After the hearing test is done, she then explains the results to me very clearly and has given advices.
I had a problem with my hearing aid today, which I couldn't solve. I got in touch with Steve in the morning, who offered me an appointment in the afternoon. Within a couple of minutes he'd identified the problem, fixed it and I…
Brilliant experience. Life changing for my mum Can't thank you enough.
Very good service
Great service, very clear explanation and instructions! So pleased already.
I saw Rumana at Keith Murphy's Optician for my first hearing test. She was wonderful. She explained everything so that I could not only understand the procedure but also the results clearly. Thank you so much Rumana.
Very professional, knowledgeable, personable and helpful. Did not try to push a hearing aid on me to purchase and confirmed that I didn't need one at present. My hearing has degraded slightly due to my age. Will see them again ????
Highly recommend.
Amazing explanation regarding my ear health and risk factors. Pedro took time to answer all my questions and Zak very gentle with all the tests and explaining the tests, 100% would recommend, hope to bring my husband in soon, thank you
Rosie, the hearing specialist, was thorough and sympathetic to my needs for adjustments to my hearing aids. She explained in simple language every step she made in the programing of the ear pieces. Wondmerful treatment by a true professional.
Thanks for changing the domes in my hearing aids. They are so much more comfortable than the previous ones
Very helpful team at Amplify Hearing.
It’s a shame they only have a weekly session at Eyesite
Excellent result from my recent ear wax suction removal by Zak at Eyesite, who was able to fit me in within days instead of weeks with the NHS. It comes at a cost but well worth it. Highly recommend.
Rumana was absolutely fantastic. She took great care of my mum, whose hearing was 50% less than it should have been. From taking the moulds for the hearing aids, to doing a home visit to make sure mum was comfortable wearing them. Highly recommended. ????
Would thoroughly recommend Amplify Hearing at Sloan Eyecare! Been really nervous about getting my hearing checked and been putting it off. However I bought my last pair of glasses from Sloan’s. They were amazing so I took the plunge and booked an appointment with Pedro…
Pedro & David were kind, courteous & professional. They were both very clear about their recommendations and my options. I never felt pressured in making my choices.
Rumana was professional and friendly. The hearing test was thorough and she explained the results and recommendations clearly.
I can't recommend these lovely audiologists highly enough. I needed a small repair to my hearing aids, and sent an email to this effect. Within hours of getting reply from them, Zac was on my doorstep, fixed my hearing aid and left…
Rumana was excellent. She was very clear in her explanations. And gave us some good tips on what to do going forward

Hearing tests & hearing aids in Blackburn
Anyone over the age of 18 can get a hearing test, and if you’re aged 55 or over, you’re entitled to a FREE hearing test and hearing healthcare check up. This is because hearing loss is largely, but not always, age related. We recommend booking a hearing test every year. You don’t need a GP or ENT referral, just fill in the form below to request an appointment with an independent audiologist at our Blackburn hearing care practice.
If you need, or already have hearing aids, as part of your hearing consultation with our audiologist, we will explain the various types of hearing aids to you, and make recommendations based on your hearing loss, your needs and usage of the hearing solution. And because we are independent, you can choose from a full range of hearing aids from all the leading manufacturers, unlike many hearing aid providers.
Ear wax removal in Blackburn
Ear wax is good for the health of your ears and it plays a vital role in preventing infection and removing debris from the ear canal. However, some people produce more than others, making them prone to a build-up over time that can become hard and impacted, leading to irritation, hearing loss, or infection, if not removed. Our qualified audiologists at our practice can provide effective and safe ear wax removal for instant relief from any pain or discomfort.
