Hearing and audiology clinics in London

London offers hearing care through both the NHS and a wide private sector — high-street hearing chains and independent audiology clinics across the boroughs, plus specialist centres in the West End. Many clinics offer free initial hearing checks. Audiologists are HCPC-registered.

NHS and private hearing care

The NHS provides hearing tests and hearing aids (usually on free long-term loan) following a referral. Private London clinics offer a wider choice of hearing aid styles and technology, often with shorter waits, for a fee. Some also offer ear wax removal and tinnitus support.
