Hearing tests, hearing aids and ear wax removal in Hythe

Complete hearing care available at your local Amplify Hearing Audiologist at Dawkins & Lodge Opticians in Hythe

Hearing tests & hearing aids in Hythe

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 Hythe 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 Hythe

Earwax 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 Hythe practice can provide effective and safe ear wax removal for  instant relief from any pain or discomfort.

If you find yourself struggling to hear conversations, especially in background noise, or frequently ask people to repeat themselves, it might be a sign of hearing loss. Amplify Hearing offer a free hearing test to help you determine if you could benefit from hearing aids.

Our hearing tests are painless and take about 30 minutes. A registered audiologist will ask you about your hearing history and then conduct a series of tests to measure your hearing ability at different pitches. Based on the results, the audiologist will discuss your options and answer any questions you may have.

Hearing aids are a great option for many people with hearing loss. They can significantly improve your ability to hear and understand conversations, allowing you to participate more fully in life. During your consultation, our audiologist will discuss the different types of hearing aids available and help you decide if they are the right solution for you.

Our hearing aids come with various features, including Bluetooth connectivity, noise reduction, and directional microphones. We will work with you to find the perfect hearing aid to meet your specific needs.
