Private Hearing Tests
Harley Street Hearing offers professional, thorough hearing tests.
Hearing tests are a vital tool to help effectively diagnose any hearing loss, even if you don’t realise you have it. Early detection is crucial to prevent your hearing from declining over time, and together we can devise the most suitable solution for you.
As an independent hearing clinic, we are dedicated to delivering outstanding service and treating all of our patients with the utmost care and understanding, whilst paying particular attention to your individual hearing needs.

Hearing Consultation
As we are registered with the Health and Care Professions Council, you do not need to be referred by a doctor to book an appointment with us.
Yes. There is an additional cost to the £100 consultation of £125. This covers the audiologist’s time spent out of clinic.
Health insurance may cover the cost of the consultation, however, most do not cover the cost of hearing aids. Please check with them for authorisation.
An initial hearing aid consultation and assessment takes an hour and a half and is £100.
Due to the sheer volume of styles, colours and technologies available we don’t keep stocks in clinic. Each order is done for the individual. The only exception to this is the Lyric hearing aid, our audiologists can advise if this is suitable for you.
Nothing is needed. If you do have any previous hearing test results these can be useful to assess any changes that may have happened to your hearing over a period of time.
In theory, yes, it is possible. However, your assessment is much more than just the hearing test. At your appointment, your audiologist will examine the health of your ear canals, assess your entire auditory system, and discuss the most appropriate style and hearing aid for you, dependent upon, and tailored to your specific needs. It’s difficult to do that without having you sitting in front of us.
Your audiologist will perform a comprehensive audiological assessment based on your challenges. This can include (but is not limited to) otoscopy, tympanometry and stapedial reflexes, otoacoustic emissions, pure tone audiometry, and speech testing in both quiet and in noise.
We pride ourselves on the skills and the wealth of expertise of our highly trained clinical audiologists. The hearing aid itself is only one part of the overall rehabilitation process. The most important factors for the successful fitting of hearing aids are the programming and fine tuning of each instrument; which is where the expertise of our audiologists is essential.
