Very professional and very patient with my 92 year old mum.
Chris Daplyn
Visited my elderly father at home to do earwax removal. He was very kind and patient with my dad, and did a thorough, painless job. Very grateful to him. Would highly recommend. Dad is delighted now he can hear clearly again.

I’m extremely happy with the service I received. The doctor came to my home to clean my ears and was very professional, friendly and reassuring throughout the whole procedure. He explained everything clearly and made me feel comfortable. The treatment was quick and painless, and I can hear so much better now! 😊 I’m very grateful for the excellent service and would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs ear wax removal. Thank you so much! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Excellent service from the audiologist at Hearing Team. He provided a fantastic ear wax removal home visit service for my grandmother, which made the whole experience so much easier and more comfortable for her. He was professional, patient, friendly and very reassuring throughout. He took the time to explain everything clearly and treated my grandmother with great care and respect.
