Expert Hearing Care at SJ Eyecare

At Stephen John Eyecare, we know that good hearing is just as vital as clear vision when it comes to staying connected to the world around you. That’s why we’ve partnered with Amplify Hearing to bring expert audiology services to our practice. Whether you’re noticing changes in your hearing, want to preserve your hearing health, or simply need a check-up, our specialist team is here to help.

We offer a range of tailored hearing solutions, ensuring you receive the highest standard of care, professional advice, and ongoing support.

Complimentary Hearing Tests

Hearing loss can happen gradually, often without you realizing it. While age is a common factor, exposure to loud environments and certain medical conditions can also contribute. Early detection is key to preventing further hearing deterioration, which is why we provide free hearing tests to assess your hearing health.

Our experienced audiologist will carefully check your ears, conduct a thorough hearing assessment, and explain the results in clear, simple terms. If hearing loss is detected, we’ll discuss personalised options to enhance your hearing and improve your quality of life.

Appointments typically take between 30-60 minutes, making it a quick and easy way to take the first step toward better hearing.

Safe & Effective Microsuction Earwax Removal

If your ears feel blocked or your hearing seems muffled, the culprit might be excess earwax. While earwax is natural and protective, a buildup can cause temporary hearing loss, discomfort, or even tinnitus-like symptoms.

We offer microsuction earwax removal, a safe, gentle, and mess-free method that clears blockages without using water. The procedure is quick, comfortable, and provides instant relief.

For those who wear hearing aids, regular wax removal is especially important, as built-up earwax can affect how well your device performs. Book an appointment today to restore clear and comfortable hearing.

Hearing Aids with Lifetime Aftercare

Experience the benefits of clearer, more natural sound with our range of advanced hearing aids. We offer devices suited to mild, moderate, and severe hearing loss, combining discreet designs with cutting-edge technology to enhance your listening experience.

As an independent provider, we supply hearing aids from leading brands, giving you the freedom to choose the best option for your lifestyle and preferences. Our team will demonstrate different models, helping you make a well-informed and confident decision.

Every hearing aid comes with up to 5 years’ warranty and lifetime aftercare, ensuring you receive ongoing adjustments and expert support whenever you need it. You can trust in the quality, reliability, and continued care that comes with our service.

Tinnitus Support & Management

Tinnitus—often described as ringing, buzzing, or humming in the ears—can be disruptive, but you don’t have to suffer in silence. Our tinnitus management services are designed to help you reduce its impact and regain control.

We provide individualised treatment plans that may include:
✔ Sound therapy to mask or retrain your brain’s response to tinnitus
✔ Earwax removal if a buildup is contributing to symptoms
✔ Specialized hearing aids with tinnitus-masking features

Our expert team will work closely with you to find effective solutions, offering practical strategies and ongoing support to improve your daily comfort.
