About Gloucester Hearing
An independent hearing-test referral service for Gloucester and Gloucestershire.
Gloucester Hearing is an independent referral service. We are not a hearing clinic and do not provide hearing tests directly. We connect you with trusted local hearing specialists.
Why This Service Exists
Finding hearing care shouldn't be complicated. But with NHS waiting times stretching to months for routine hearing tests, and dozens of private clinics to choose from, many people don't know where to turn.
We created Gloucester Hearing to solve this problem. We've done the research into local hearing specialists so you don't have to. When you contact us, we match you with a trusted professional based on your needs and location.
Our service is completely free for you. We're funded by the hearing specialists in our network, who pay us a referral fee when we connect them with new patients.
How We Select Hearing Specialists
We don't work with just anyone. Every hearing specialist in our network is vetted to ensure they meet our standards.
Qualified Professionals
We only work with registered audiologists and hearing aid dispensers who hold appropriate qualifications and are registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) or equivalent bodies.
Established Practices
We partner with clinics that have a track record of providing quality care. We look at their experience, patient reviews, and professional reputation.
No-Pressure Approach
We only work with specialists who provide honest assessments. If you don't need hearing aids, they'll tell you - there's no pressure to buy.
Local to Gloucestershire
All our partner specialists are based in or serve Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud, and the wider Gloucestershire area.
