Private Audiologist in London

A full diagnostic hearing assessment with one of our London audiologists is £100. Microsuction ear wax removal is £80, and premium hearing aids start from £3,295 per pair, including a free 30-day home trial. Every price is published up front — there are no hidden fees.

No. You can book directly with us as a private patient — no GP referral is needed for a hearing test, ear wax removal, hearing aids or tinnitus care. If you are claiming on private medical insurance, your insurer may ask for an ENT referral first; we are happy to guide you through that.

Both are registered with the HCPC and both can test hearing and fit hearing aids. In the UK the regulated title is "Hearing Aid Dispenser", and "audiologist" is used more broadly for hearing-care professionals. What matters most is that whoever you see is HCPC-registered, experienced and independent — which every clinician on our team is. You can verify any of them on the public HCPC register.

Your appointment will be with one of our HCPC-registered audiologists: Nick Clive (Chief of Audiology), Mo Khan (Deputy Chief of Audiology), Tim Johnson or Agnieszka Blasiak. If you'd like to see a particular audiologist, just let us know when you book.

We are in the heart of the Harley Street medical district. Our clinic is at 57a Wimpole Street — the street that runs directly parallel to Harley Street — so you get the same expertise and clinical network without the Harley Street address premium. Nick Clive spent over 16 years as Chief of Audiology at 150 Harley Street.

Yes. Most UK private medical insurers cover consultations and diagnostic audiology testing — a full hearing test, tympanometry and other audiology tests. Many of our London patients are referred to us by an ENT specialist for testing, and we bill the insurer directly. See our insurance page for the insurers we work with and how it works.

The NHS does excellent work, but appointments are short and the choice of device is limited to NHS-issue models. A private audiologist gives you a longer appointment, the same clinician each time, and access to every leading manufacturer's latest technology — fitted and fine-tuned precisely to your hearing and lifestyle. For many people, that difference is what finally makes hearing aids something they actually wear.

We take a full history, examine your ears with otoscopy, and carry out diagnostic testing — pure-tone audiometry in a sound-treated room, tympanometry, and speech testing where it helps. Then we talk you through your audiogram in plain English and agree the right next step. It's unhurried, and there's never any pressure to buy anything. See our hearing test in London page for the full detail.

We offer same-day appointments at our London clinic wherever possible. If a same-day slot isn't available, we'll see you within the same week. Call us on 020 3075 3190 and we'll find a time that suits you.

Yes. Our London audiologists perform gentle microsuction ear wax removal for £80, with a free follow-up if your ears aren't fully cleared first time. It's a quick, comfortable procedure and we can often see you the same day. Read more on our ear wax removal in London page.

Yes. Tinnitus is one of the areas our audiologists care for most. We offer a structured, evidence-based tinnitus management programme designed to reduce how loud and intrusive the sound feels. Nick Clive has a particular specialism in complex tinnitus. See our tinnitus clinic in London page.

Very often, yes. Many patients come to us with hearing aids bought online or elsewhere that have never felt right. We can reassess your hearing, check the fit and programming, and tell you honestly whether they can be optimised or whether you'd be better served by a different solution. An expert second opinion is always worth having.
