Why Upminster Patients Choose Us
Private Audiology That Works for You — Not the Manufacturers
Upminster sits at the quieter, greener edge of east London — and the people here know good value when they see it. At VIP Hearing Solutions we offer something the high-street chains cannot: genuinely independent care. We don't work for manufacturers. We work for you. That means every recommendation — every hearing aid brand, every treatment plan — is driven entirely by what is right for your hearing and your life.
We fit from all seven leading brands — Phonak, Starkey, Oticon, Widex, ReSound, Unitron and Signia — and we take the time to understand how you actually live before we ever suggest a solution. Many Upminster patients tell us they had been putting off getting their hearing checked for years. At our Brentwood clinic, the process is unhurried, honest and thorough — and your first step, a complete full diagnostic hearing test, is entirely free and carries no obligation whatsoever.
- Free full hearing test — no charge, no obligation at Brentwood.
- All 7 leading brands — independent, manufacturer-neutral advice.
- Nearly 30 years serving the local community — trusted Essex audiology since 1997.

In the Neighbourhood
Upminster — Where Essex Meets the Countryside
Upminster occupies one of east London's most appealing corners — a genuine town with a real sense of place. The iconic Upminster Windmill, one of London's few surviving working mills, stands as a landmark of local pride, while the medieval tithe barn and the Ingrebourne Valley nature reserve speak to the area's deep rural roots. Upminster Park and the broader Hornchurch Country Park give residents exceptional green space, and the District line and c2c connections at Upminster station keep London within easy reach. For a short drive westward into Essex, the hearing care at our Brentwood clinic offers that same quality of unhurried, considered service that Upminster residents value in everything they choose.

Upminster Hearing Care — Frequently Asked Questions
How far is it from Upminster to your hearing clinic?
Our Brentwood clinic at 41 Ongar Road, Brentwood CM15 9AU is around 6 miles from Upminster town centre. By car that is typically 12–15 minutes via the A127 and A128 — a straightforward Essex drive with free parking on arrival at Sainsbury's William Hunter Way. If you prefer the train, you can travel from Upminster via Romford and on to Brentwood station, with the whole journey taking around 20–25 minutes. To book, call 01277 264938.
Is the hearing test at Brentwood really free for Upminster patients?
Yes — our Brentwood clinic offers a free, no-obligation full diagnostic hearing assessment to all patients, including those travelling from Upminster and the surrounding RM14 area. There is no charge and no pressure to proceed to any treatment. If you would like to understand your hearing — whether you have noticed any change or simply want a baseline check — you are very welcome to book an appointment at no cost.
What hearing aid brands do you offer at the Brentwood clinic?
We are independent of all manufacturers and fit from all seven leading hearing aid brands: Phonak, Starkey, Oticon, Widex, ReSound, Unitron and Signia. Our audiologist will recommend only the brand and model that genuinely suits your hearing profile and lifestyle — not whichever brand offers the best commercial deal.

How much do private hearing aids cost?
Premium hearing aids at VIP Hearing Solutions start from £3,295 per pair. That price includes a bespoke fitting by an expert audiologist, a personalised VIP aftercare package and a free, no-obligation 30-day home trial. Because we are genuinely independent, we fit from all seven leading manufacturers and recommend only what suits your hearing and your budget. See our hearing aid prices page for more.
Do you offer invisible hearing aids?
Yes. Many modern hearing aids are remarkably discreet — from in-the-canal styles to completely-in-canal and invisible-in-canal 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. Your audiologist will help you choose the right style for your hearing and your ear — read more about invisible hearing aids.
Which hearing aid brands can I choose from?
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, lifestyle and budget. Every fitting includes a free 30-day home trial.
