HEARING CARE IN EMSWORTH
At Martin Steels Optometrists, we know that good hearing is essential for staying connected, independent, and engaged in everyday life. Through our partnership with Amplify Hearing, we provide a comprehensive range of professional hearing care services designed to support your long-term hearing health.
Whether you're experiencing changes in your hearing, looking for expert advice on tinnitus, or need assistance with hearing aids, our dedicated audiologists are here to help. We offer a personalised approach, taking the time to understand your concerns and recommend solutions tailored to your individual needs.
Why Hearing Health Checks Are Important
Changes in hearing can happen gradually over time, meaning many people are unaware of a problem until it begins to affect their daily activities. Regular hearing assessments help identify any changes early and provide valuable insight into your hearing health.
Addressing hearing concerns sooner rather than later can help maintain confidence, communication, and quality of life. Early intervention allows you to continue enjoying conversations, social interactions, and everyday sounds without unnecessary difficulties.
Complimentary Hearing Health Assessment
We believe everyone should have the opportunity to understand their hearing health. That's why we offer a complimentary*, no-obligation hearing assessment to help determine how well you're hearing and whether any further support may be beneficial.
During your appointment, one of our qualified audiologists will perform a thorough assessment and explain the results in a clear, straightforward manner. If any hearing concerns are identified, we'll discuss the available options and advise on the most suitable course of action.
Most appointments take approximately 30 minutes, making it a simple and convenient way to prioritise your hearing health.
What Your Hearing Assessment Includes
Medical & Lifestyle Discussion
We'll begin by talking through your medical history, lifestyle, and any hearing-related concerns you may have.
Ear Examination (Otoscopy)
Your audiologist will examine your ear canals and eardrums to check for wax build-up, irritation, infection, or any other visible issues.
Pure Tone Audiometry
Using headphones, you'll listen to a series of tones and sounds at different frequencies and volumes. The results are recorded on an audiogram, allowing us to assess your hearing levels accurately.
Advanced Diagnostic Testing
Where appropriate, additional audiological assessments may be recommended to provide a more detailed understanding of your hearing health.**
Further investigations may include:
- Speech recognition testing in quiet and noisy settings
- Listening comfort and sound sensitivity assessments
- Hearing aid function and performance checks
- Tympanometry to evaluate middle ear health
*Available free of charge for those aged 55 and over. Consultation fees apply for patients under 55.
**Additional charges may apply for advanced diagnostic assessments.

Tinnitus Care and Advice
Tinnitus is a common condition that affects millions of people and is often experienced as ringing, buzzing, whistling, or humming sounds that have no external source.
Although there is currently no cure for tinnitus, a range of effective management strategies can help reduce its impact and improve day-to-day wellbeing.
At Martin Steels, our audiologists offer personalised tinnitus assessments and support plans tailored to your individual experience. Depending on your needs, recommendations may include sound therapy, hearing aids, educational support, and practical techniques to help manage symptoms.
With expert guidance and the right approach, many people find they are able to manage tinnitus successfully and improve their overall quality of life.
Professional Ear Wax Removal
Excess ear wax can sometimes lead to blocked ears, discomfort, reduced hearing, or a feeling of fullness in the ear canal. If you're experiencing these symptoms, our professional ear wax removal service may be able to help.
We use microsuction, a gentle and highly effective method of ear wax removal that does not require water. This precise technique allows wax to be removed safely and comfortably, often providing immediate improvement in hearing and comfort.
Routine ear wax management can be especially important for hearing aid users, as wax build-up can affect the performance of hearing devices.
Our experienced clinicians are committed to delivering safe, effective treatment with the highest levels of professional care.
