Our Hearing Services
Appointments take place in our Provide Wellbeing Clinic Centre on The Crescent in Colchester and 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.

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.

IB, No-Scalpel Vasectomy Customer
Doctor and nurses were very nice and quite good at putting me at ease in what is an unusual and nerve racking situation. Procedure was completed quickly, and though there was inevitable discomfort I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to have this procedure done.
DC, Minor Skin Surgery Customer
Dr Ashraf Ali has a very kind and considerate nature, and was able to put me at ease with his reassuring words. Michelle the theatre nurse was equally kind, showing me much empathy, and distracting me throughout the procedure. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend your services to others.
