Why Choose an Independent Audiologist?

 At Check My Hearing, being independent means you receive care that is entirely centred around you. There is no pressure to fit certain brands, hit sales targets, or follow a rigid corporate script. Instead, you’re looked after by a highly qualified, HCPC-registered hearing specialist who puts clinical standards first and commercial interests second.

As an independent provider, I work with the full range of world-leading manufacturers — Phonak, Oticon, Starkey, Widex, Signia and more. This gives you complete freedom of choice and ensures your hearing solution is selected purely on clinical suitability, comfort, and long-term benefit. You are never restricted to one brand or one style.

Appointments are longer, calmer, and genuinely personal. There’s time to ask questions, explore options, and understand your hearing health without feeling rushed. You receive continuity of care, seeing the same clinician each time, with home visits available across Bury St Edmunds, Long Melford, Sudbury, Hadleigh, Stowmarket, and surrounding villages.

Independent practices are also free from long waiting lists. You will typically be seen within a few days, not months, and repairs or adjustments are handled quickly and locally.

Ultimately, independence means accountability: I am directly responsible for your outcome, your experience, and your long-term hearing support. Your success is my success — and that ethos sits at the core of everything we do at  Check My Hearing.
