Our Hearing Services
Appointments take place at Kestrel House and Stapleford House in Chelmsford. Please note, children aged 7 months to 4 years require an assistant during their appointment. Children over 4 with developmental delays may also need support from an assistant.
Hearing assessment locations:

- Stapleford House, Chelmsford – for adults and children aged 7 months to 17 years
We offer several hearing assessments depending on the patient’s age and needs.
Adult Hearing Assessment
Duration: 15-20 minutes
A comprehensive yet quick check of your hearing health. This includes a discussion about any symptoms or concerns, an ear examination, and appropriate hearing tests. Ideal for anyone aged 16 and over who wants peace of mind or expert advice on hearing changes.
Child Hearing Assessment
Duration: 30-40 minutes
Tailored to children aged 5 years and above, this appointment uses age-appropriate methods in a calm, friendly environment. We take time to understand any concerns, perform an ear check, and carry out either behavioural or objective hearing tests based on your child’s needs.
Child Hearing Assessment with Assistant
Duration: 40 minutes
For children aged 7 months to 4 years, or those over 4 with developmental delays, we provide an experienced assistant to support the Audiologist. This ensures accurate testing with a child-centred approach to care.
