VIP Hearing Solutions Brentwood

Yes. Your hearing test at our Brentwood clinic is completely free — there is no charge for the consultation and no obligation to proceed. It is a full diagnostic hearing assessment with a HCPC-registered audiologist, who will test your hearing, explain your results clearly, and talk through your options. To book your free hearing test, call 01277 264938.

Your hearing test is free. Microsuction ear wax removal is from £70. Premium hearing aids are from £3,295 per pair, fitted by an expert audiologist and including a bespoke VIP aftercare package and a free, no-obligation 30-day trial. You can read more on our hearing aid prices page, or call 01277 264938 and we'll explain everything clearly before you book.

Common signs include turning the television up louder than others would like, struggling to follow conversations in busy or noisy places, often asking people to repeat themselves, or finding phone calls harder than they used to be. Hearing changes gradually, so it's easy to miss. Because the hearing test at our Brentwood clinic is free, there's no reason not to check — book a free hearing test and you'll have a clear picture of your hearing.

Yes. Our Brentwood clinic has cared for the area's hearing since 1997, and for many years was known locally as County Hearing Care. It is now part of VIP Hearing Solutions. The welcoming local service continues — and if you were a County Hearing Care patient, your care carries on without interruption. You can read more about the transition here.

We offer microsuction ear wax removal, which is the modern, safer alternative to traditional ear syringing. Rather than flushing the ear with water, microsuction uses gentle suction under a microscope to remove wax precisely — with no mess and, in most cases, immediate relief. It is available at our Brentwood clinic from £70.

Yes — the Brentwood clinic is best reached by car. There is 30 minutes' free parking at the Sainsbury's car park on William Hunter Way, and longer paid parking at the William Hunter Way car park nearby — both just a short walk from the clinic.

The nearest station is Brentwood, served by the Elizabeth line and Greater Anglia, about a ten-minute walk or a short bus ride from the clinic. The Elizabeth line gives direct access from central London and the wider East London and Essex network.

Yes. Private medical insurance can cover your consultation and diagnostic hearing tests at our Brentwood clinic — we work with all major UK insurers, including Bupa, AXA, Cigna, Vitality, WPA, Aetna, Aviva and Healix. Many patients are referred by an ENT specialist for testing, and we bill the insurer directly where your policy allows. Cover varies by policy, so do check your plan or call us.

We allow plenty of time so your appointment is never rushed. A full hearing assessment typically takes up to an hour — including time to discuss your hearing history, carry out the tests, explain your results clearly and talk through your options.

Premium private hearing aids at our Brentwood clinic start from £3,295 per pair. That price covers a full bespoke fitting by a HCPC-registered audiologist, a personalised VIP aftercare package and a free, no-obligation 30-day home trial. Because we are genuinely independent — not tied to any single manufacturer — we fit from all seven of the leading brands and recommend purely on the basis of what suits your hearing and your budget. See our hearing aid prices page for more.

We fit from all seven of the world’s leading hearing aid manufacturers — Phonak, Starkey, Oticon, Widex, ReSound, Unitron and Signia. We don’t work for manufacturers, we work for you, so our recommendation is based purely on what suits your hearing, your lifestyle and your budget. Every fitting includes a free 30-day home trial.

Yes — many of the hearing aids we fit are remarkably discreet. Options range from in-the-canal (ITC) styles through to completely-in-canal (CIC) and invisible-in-canal (IIC) devices that sit deep enough in the ear canal to be virtually unseen. We also fit Phonak Lyric, an extended-wear hearing aid worn around the clock for months at a time. Read more about invisible hearing aids.

Yes. Every hearing aid fitting at our Brentwood clinic includes a free, no-obligation 30-day home trial. You wear the hearing aids in your real day-to-day life — at work, at home, in noisy restaurants, on the school run — and we fine-tune them at a follow-up based on what you experienced. If they are not right after that, you simply hand them back, with no charge.

The audiologists who see patients at our Brentwood clinic are Mo Khan (Deputy Chief of Audiology — the audiologist you are most likely to see in Brentwood, HCPC HAD03074, MSc & BSc Hons, who has practised for the best part of a decade in the Harley Street medical district), Nick Clive (Chief of Audiology, HCPC HAD00170, more than 16 years as Chief of Audiology on Harley Street), and Tim Johnson (HCPC HAD004892, MSc Audiological Science, UCL). All registrations are verifiable at hcpc-uk.org.

We see adult patients across the full range of audiology — age-related hearing loss, noise-induced hearing loss, asymmetric hearing loss, sudden hearing changes, tinnitus, recurrent ear wax build-up, hyperacusis and balance-related referrals. We fit hearing aids of every style (BTE, RIC, ITC, IIC, and extended-wear Lyric), supply custom hearing protection, and care for existing hearing aid users with servicing and aftercare. We do not see paediatric patients or offer home visits.
