A Loss of Hearing isn’t always Hearing Loss
Just because you can’t hear as well as you used to doesn’t necessarily mean that you are suffering from hearing loss – it could be ear wax, an ear canal infection, or a balance system or middle ear issue. We can identify and deal with all these conditions at Hearology.
And if you do have hearing loss, Hearology will help you identify the right kind of Hearing Aids for you – to fit with the needs of your hearing, your budget and your lifestyle.

The Positive Impact of Hearing Aid Usage on Dementia and Life Expectancy
Our brains behave like a muscle – if you stimulate them, they develop, if you don’t, they decline in effectiveness and vigour. So, it makes sense that mental decline associated with age and/or dementia will speed up if hearing loss deprives your brain of the auditory stimulation it is used to.
There is an ever-growing body of scientific research to suggest that the use of hearing aids can significantly DECREASE the rate of age-related cognitive decline. The same body of research also indicates that life expectancy itself can be improved by addressing hearing loss.
The three studies available for download here reveal that, amongst the sizeable research samples in question, after adjusting for demographic characteristics and other existing health risks:
- Whilst hearing aids do not halt or reverse cognitive decline, they do slow down its onset by a significant factor.
- Even mild hearing impairment is associated with an increased risk of mortality amongst adults aged 70 or older and this risk factor is a lot higher amongst those with severe hearing loss or who live alone.
“Providing hearing aids…much earlier in the course of hearing impairment may stem the worldwide rise of dementia.”

Friends and Family are Welcome
Your friends and family are welcome because we know that it does sometimes take a little bit of courage to book yourself in for a hearing test.

Hearing Aid Aftercare at Hearology
Not many will tell you that hearing aids need to be serviced at least twice a year, or that you need to maintain them on a weekly basis. Nor will many tell you that most hearing aids end up getting left in a drawer due to lack of maintenance.
This is why Hearology places such great emphasis on hearing aid aftercare:
- Direct contact with your Hearology Audiologist.
- You can come back to see us as often as you want, and for free.
- Your planned, free, 6-monthly check ups include additional hearing tests and any consequent re-calibration of your hearing aids.
- Free, 5-year warranty (worth £300) on most of our models – so they can be repaired free of charge in the rare event of malfunction.
- We provide courtesy hearing aids to wear during any repair period.

We Will Make You Feel Comfortable At All Times
Our clinics are easy to find and get to, wheelchair-accessible and very well-appointed with the latest hearing test technology. Our reception team and Audiologists are all extremely friendly and will make you feel at ease.
Invisible Hearing Aids
The Most Important Consideration
Make sure you know before you book a hearing test:
- That it will be carried out by an Audiologist, not a Hearing Aid Dispenser.
- If the Audiologist will earn commission on any hearing aid sale they make to you.
Unlike most of our competitors, Hearology does not employ Hearing Aid Dispensers, only Clinical Audiologists. And unlike nearly all our competitors, our Audiologists are not paid commission on hearing aid sales.
