Your Local Hearing Specialists.

Comprehensive Range of Removal Techniques
We offer irrigation, microsuction and manual ear wax removal – unlike many providers who only offer one method. This allows us to tailor the treatment to each individual:

• Microsuction is essential for patients with a perforated eardrum.
• Children and adults may have personal preferences based on comfort or previous experiences.

Advanced Diagnostic Equipment
We use a video otoscope so patients can view their ear canal before and after treatment.

• Enables clear communication and peace of mind.
• We can provide immediate onward referral to NHS or private specialists if required – no need to visit a GP.
• Our high-quality microsuction equipment is effective even in cases involving narrow ear canals or impacted wax.

Inclusive Follow-Up Appointments

• If complete removal is not possible during the initial appointment, we offer a follow-up to ensure thorough treatment.
• This may include further softening of wax with oil or reassessment of any underlying conditions such as infections or lesions.

While hearing aids can significantly improve the clarity of sounds and help you hear better, they don’t restore your hearing to normal. Hearing aids are designed to amplify sounds and enhance your ability to hear in different environments, but they can't "fix" hearing loss completely. They offer one of the best chances of clearer hearing, even with some level of loss, but the experience may not be exactly the same as natural hearing. With the right hearing aids, you can greatly improve your quality of life and communication, even with hearing challenges.

At Byrom Audiology, we offer hearing tests at two convenient locations: Dore and Thornbury. Both clinics are equipped with state-of-the-art audiology equipment, ensuring a comprehensive and accurate assessment of your hearing and overall aural health. You can choose from NHS or private options, depending on your preferences and needs. Our team is here to guide you through every step of the process, providing expert advice and care.

At Byrom Audiology, we offer hearing tests at our two clinics in Dore and Thornbury. If you prefer an NHS service, you may have to wait for an appointment, but we strive to provide swift, accessible services for those who want to get their hearing tested sooner. Our team is always available to help you arrange an appointment at your convenience.

A hearing test can provide valuable information about the frequency (pitch) and intensity of sounds that you can hear. It can identify the degree of hearing loss in each ear, pinpointing which ear may be worse and whether you need hearing aids. Additionally, the test can detect different ear conditions such as ear infections or blockages, which may affect your hearing. This comprehensive assessment helps us offer the best solution tailored to your specific needs.

Our hearing tests are priced at £100. This cost includes a thorough assessment of your hearing and overall ear health. You’ll receive a full history evaluation, ear examination, pressure test, and hearing test, along with an explanation of your results. If necessary, we’ll discuss the next steps, such as a referral or the potential need for hearing aids.

A hearing aid from Byrom Audiology is guaranteed for 5 years +, depending on the make and model, as well as how well it is cared for. Regular maintenance and occasional repairs can help extend the life of your hearing aids. At Byrom Audiology, we provide guidance on how to care for your devices and ensure they stay in optimal condition. We also offer a comprehensive 90-minute assessment where we provide you with tailored advice based on your specific hearing needs.

If you’ve been struggling with background noise, feel like people are mumbling, or find it difficult to hear in places like restaurants or group conversations, it may be a sign that you have some level of hearing loss. Additionally, the onset of tinnitus (ringing or buzzing in the ears) can also be an indicator. If you notice any of these symptoms, it's a good idea to get a hearing test to understand the cause and explore the potential benefits of a hearing aid.

We recommend having your hearing tested annually, especially if you are aware of some degree of hearing loss or if you are over the age of 50. Regular check-ups help to monitor any changes in your hearing and ensure that you get the appropriate support and treatment. Early detection of hearing loss can make a significant difference in managing your hearing health over time.
