Hearing aids

Discover the perfect solution for you.

Southwest Hearing is your serene haven for hearing health care. As an independent and registered hearing aid dispensary, we're dedicated to improving your hearing experience with bespoke solutions – and we know that no two ears are alike.

What you’ll get

  • Personal

    Just like your fingerprint, the dimensions of your ear are unique. That's why each hearing aid we recommend is equally unique to the individual. Whether you desire an invisible and discreet device or something more powerful and wirelessly enabled, we have the flexibility to select from any device manufacturer to cater to your specific needs.

  • Eco-Friendly

    As a hearing care clinic, we also recognise a responsibility to environmental values, and we're committed to reducing our impact. That's why we exclusively recommend hearing aids equipped with rechargeable batteries as standard, rather than wasteful disposable batteries. Our energy efficient clinic building (Leatside Surgery) is also fitted with community-owned solar panels, as part of the Totnes Renewable Energy Society. It's these small steps that make a significant difference to the whole.

  • Guidance

    Navigating the world of hearing aids can be daunting, but rest assured, we're here to guide you. Your journey begins with a comprehensive case history and diagnostic hearing test, allowing us to make tailored recommendations. We offer a 30-day trial period for all devices, including fine-tuning follow-up appointments, and we provide ongoing aftercare once your trial has been successful.
