Having tried Specsavers in Weston-super-mare with disappointing results I am now looking for a reputable audiologist to supply and fit new aids. Any recommendations gratefully received.

Unfortunately Costco Bristol does not look to have a hearing aid department. Have you tried being fit by your local NHS audiology department? I suppose it could take you a long time to get referred. The local NHS audiology department, might offer a private service too?

Andrew Bird Hearing works out of several locations fairly near you. Not sure if they run a clinic in Weston itself though. Ring the head office in Cheltenham to verify.

I’m near Wincanton and looked closely at all the chains and spoke with several independent audis in my area. The only one that had anywhere near the level of knowledge I required was Jon Cade at Somerset Hearing near Wellington. Not the cheapest, but definitely the best in my area. Maybe a bit far south for you?

Thanks so much for this. I’m south of WSM so not too far from Rumwell. On the basis of your recommendation and the other reviews I’ve booked for a hearing test. I particularly like the 2 week trial.

I trialled 3 different sets of aids, I was not pressured into a particular brand. Unlike all the other audis I spoke with (and have used), Jon is up to speed with all brands of aid. Most audis seem to only know one or two brands and tend to prefer one (at least in my experience).

Thanks again. Getting free home trials is great but working with a knowledgeable and caring audi is crucial.
