Hearing Care Services

Hearing Care at Chalmers Opticians

Helping you enjoy every moment, every conversation

Life is full of sounds worth hearing but when your hearing changes, those sounds can become distant without you even noticing.

At Chalmers Opticians, we believe hearing care should be as much a part of looking after yourself as an eye test.. That’s why, in partnership with Amplify Hearing, we offer expert, personalised hearing care services from the comfort of our practice.

Complimentary Hearing Tests

Our complimentary hearing assessments are designed to be relaxed, friendly, and thorough. Lasting around 45–60 minutes, each appointment gives you time to talk, ask questions, and get clear answers about your hearing health.

During your visit, we’ll:

• Carry out a detailed hearing test with the latest equipment
• Chat about your hearing and any changes you’ve noticed
• Gently examine your ears and ear canals
• Offer honest advice tailored to your needs
• Review your results together

Even if you think your hearing is fine, regular checks can help spot changes early and protect your hearing for the future.

Gentle & Effective Wax Removal

Sometimes, hearing problems are caused by nothing more than a build-up of earwax. Our professional microsuction service quickly removes excess wax using a gentle suction device—without the need for water.

It’s safe, comfortable, and in most cases, you’ll notice clearer hearing immediately after your appointment, which usually takes around 15 minutes.

Hearing Aids You’ll Love to Wear

Modern hearing aids are discreet, stylish, and packed with technology to make life easier. Whether you want to reconnect with conversation, enjoy music again, or stream calls directly to your ears, we have options to suit your lifestyle.

What we have to offer:

• Discreet, comfortable styles that are barely visible
  
• Rechargeable batteries—no fiddly changes
• Bluetooth streaming for calls, TV, and music
• In-practice demonstrations so you can hear the difference for yourself
• Exclusive access to world-leading Beltone hearing aids
• Up to 5 years’ warranty and lifetime aftercare for lasting peace of mind
