            Hearing Services

            With over two decades of experience as a Hearing Aid Audiologist, I have dedicated my career to helping people improve their hearing and quality of life. I began working in audiology in 2003 and, driven by a passion for personalised care, founded Bexley Hearing Centre in 2012.

            In January 2015 I introduced micro-suction ear wax removal as a key service – a decision that has since transformed the business. Since then I have safely and effectively removed wax from over 30,000 ears, offering a quick, comfortable and professional service that clients have come to rely on. My technique focuses on safety, precision and minimal fuss; ensuring a smooth experience for every patient.

            The popularity of this service led me to expand in Spring 2017, opening The Tunbridge Wells Earwax clinic at the Tunbridge Wells Osteopathic Clinic, where both ear wax removal and hearing aid services continue to receive outstanding feedback.

            We take pride in offering affordable, high-quality care. Our micro-suction pricing has remained unchanged since its introduction a decade ago; reflecting our commitment to accessibility and value.

            Whether you need hearing support or relief from blocked ears, I’m here to help with experience, care and a personal touch.
