At Broom Reid & Harris we take the approach that if you think you might have a hearing loss – either because other people say you do or because you suspect it yourself – you probably want to get it checked out for your own peace of mind.

Because of this we provide a free, no obligation hearing test to evaluate the type and degree of your loss.

• We have centres in Exeter, Torquay, Sidmouth & Newton Abbot.
• You are encouraged to bring a family member or friend.
• If you can’t come to us, we can come to you.

During the first consultation we will:

• Ask you about your hearing, and what situations you find difficult.
• Examine your ear canals and ear drums.
• Test your hearing to determine the degree and type of hearing loss.

We can then recommend the best solution to improve your hearing.

Here are some possible solutions:

• We may refer you to your GP, perhaps to remove excess wax or for treatment of a medical condition.
• We may suggest something like an infrared headset to use when you are watching TV.
• We may recommend a hearing instrument suited to your hearing loss and lifestyle.

The important thing to us is that you hear better, and that the solution we recommend is best for you.
