Hearing Test in Fakenham - really easy to do

Had my hearing test in Fakenham. Really easy destination to get to, plenty of parking and really helpful staff. My audiologist was helpful and very informative. Showed me the app and fitted with hearing aids there and then. Great service all round.

Jessica's Amazing Care

Jessica W was fantastic, so helpful and explained all the different parts of the ear that can be affected with hearing loss. My tinnitus is so much better, a lot of relief and her recommendations for itchy ears was spot on.
It was a pleasure meeting her.

Not responsive to Complaint.

This company also trades as Audiological Science from whom I purchased Widex Hearing Aids a couple of years ago.
The hearing aids developed a fault and I contacted The Hearing People who agreed to send me replacement receivers.
After 11 days, 4 phone calls and a text message I have still not received the receivers.
So much for their lifetime guarantee!

Inadequate

Feeling fobbed off by this company with some wholly inadequate hearing aids (non-digital - I've been wearing digital for 8 years), I made a new appointment, for 3.15 today (4 August). I was told not to be late. I answered a follow up text with a YES to the arrangement. On arriving at reception I was told that the appoiontment was at 5.00. Which it wasn't. No apology. This is a second-rate organisation that the NHS should not be employing.

Joby was very patient with my elderly and difficult grandmother when he came for a home visit to remove ear wax and perform a hearing test. He allowed her to have cigarette breaks and attempted multiple times throughout her resisting until the test was completed. He explained clearly to us how to fit the hearing aid and how to use it. He is very professional, caring and helpful. Thank you.
