Harley Street Hearing

Harley Street Hearing, independent hearing clinic in London

Harley Street Hearing is an independent private hearing clinic based in Harley Street, London, which presents itself as the largest independent hearing clinic in the city and with more than 25 years of activity on that same street. Its team is made up of clinical audiologists who cover all areas of hearing health, from diagnostic tests and ear wax removal to custom hearing protection and tinnitus therapy.

The clinic operates as an independent audiological diagnostic centre and is not tied to a single manufacturer, which allows it to offer a broad catalogue of hearing aids from the main international brands. Each device is fitted and personalised according to the patient's audiological profile and lifestyle.

Diagnostic and hearing care services

Clinical activity covers hearing consultations with professional tests to diagnose hearing loss, ear wax removal by microsuction and irrigation — with same-day appointments typically available at its London clinics —, assessment and treatment of auditory processing disorder, and tinnitus therapy with accurate diagnosis and retraining therapy. It also offers Lenire® tinnitus treatment.

It has a Balance Centre at 127 Harley Street dedicated to audio-vestibular (balance) diagnosis and rehabilitation. The clinic describes itself as multilingual, with audiologists able to care for international patients without language barriers.
