Why Independent Hearing Care Truly Matters

When it comes to your hearing, the experience you choose can shape everything — how confident you feel, how supported you are, and how well your hearing solutions fit into your everyday life.

That’s why so many people are turning to independent hearing care.

Independent clinics aren’t limited by high street targets or tied to a single manufacturer. Instead, we start with you — your lifestyle, your hearing needs, your comfort, and your concerns — and build everything around that.

Because we work with a wide range of leading manufacturers, you get access to far more choice and far more flexibility. It means your hearing aids are selected because they’re the best match for you, not because they’re sitting on a restricted supplier list.

And from the moment you walk through the door, you’ll be looked after by a fully qualified audiologist who takes the time to listen, explain, reassure and support — with no rushing and no pressure. Just honest, expert guidance that focuses on long-term results.

Many people are also surprised to learn that independent care is often up to 40% more affordable than larger high street providers — without compromising on quality or technology.

If you’re ready for hearing care that puts you first, we’re here to help you take the next step.

A better hearing experience starts with the right support.

Meet Saminah Bhayat – Hearing Aid Audiologist at Hearing Check (Preston & Lytham)

With over eight years at Hearing Check, Saminah has helped countless patients improve their hearing and rediscover the sounds that make life special.

As a Hearing Aid Audiologist, her focus is simple — helping people with hearing loss enhance both their hearing and overall quality of life. She says, “It’s so rewarding to see how improving someone’s hearing can make such a difference in their everyday and personal life.”

Saminah’s calm and empathetic approach helps patients feel comfortable from the moment they meet her. “I always take time to explain each step clearly — everyone’s hearing journey is personal to them,” she adds.
Her top advice? “Don’t ignore small changes in your hearing — early checks make a big difference.”

Outside of work, Saminah enjoys keeping active, spending time with friends, and caring for her much-loved cats. Her colleagues describe her as warm, patient, and dedicated — and she jokes that she’s “a bit of a crazy cat lady!”

She lives by the motto: “Every day is a chance to learn something new — especially from my patients, who have the best stories and life lessons to share.”

One of the central messages of UK Disability History Month is the importance of accessibility.
For those living with hearing loss, small adjustments can make a significant difference to everyday life.

Clear communication, reduced background noise and greater awareness from family, friends and workplaces all help create a more inclusive environment.
Accessible support also means having straightforward, judgement-free access to hearing assessments and follow-up care.

At Hearing Check, we’re committed to providing an environment where people feel confident seeking help and where accessibility is built into every stage of the process.
If you or someone close to you is finding hearing more challenging, we’re here to offer guidance, assessments and personalised advice.

Google Review
Both my ears were blocked so I visited Helen recently for the first time. I was very impressed and would rate the service as first class in every respect The wax removal was very stubborn and necessitated two further visits (at no extra cost to the first treatment). Helen did a brilliant job and was extremely pleasant but professional throughout. The result was a big success and my hearing is now wax free and restored to normal. I have no hesitation in recommending to anyone.

UK Disability History Month reminds us that not all disabilities can be seen. Hearing loss is one of the most common invisible disabilities, yet it often goes unrecognised or misunderstood.

For many people, hearing changes can affect connection, confidence and independence long before they ask for help.
A simple conversation, a workplace meeting or a family gathering can become harder to navigate without support.

At Hearing Check, we believe that recognising hearing loss early is the first step towards removing barriers and improving quality of life. Our team offers clear guidance and accessible appointments for anyone who may be struggling.

UK Disability History Month runs from 15th November to 15th December, encouraging greater understanding of disability, history and inclusion.

Meet Stephen Shaw – Technical Support & Customer Services at Hearing Check
(Preston Hearing Care Centre)

Stephen has been part of the Hearing Check team for over four years, providing expert technical support and customer care to patients and colleagues alike.

From helping with hearing aid connectivity, repairs, and servicing, to offering in-house IT support and welcoming patients at the front desk — Stephen ensures everything runs smoothly, both behind the scenes and face to face.

He says, “Adopting a calm, relaxed approach helps patients feel comfortable, especially when they’re facing something that feels overwhelming. What might seem like a small issue to us can mean a lot to them.”

Stephen believes that listening patiently and offering reassurance can make a world of difference — and that providing great customer service is what truly sets Hearing Check apart.

His advice? “Don’t ignore your hearing — you wouldn’t do that with your eyes or teeth.”

Outside of work, Stephen loves travelling, exploring new places, and playing football — even if, as he puts it, “the years are starting to catch up a bit!”

He’s also known for his crazy sock collection, a favourite talking point among patients.

💥 “These hearing aids have changed my life.”

That’s what Adam told me after I fitted his new Phonak Infinio Ultra hearing aids — and feedback like that is exactly why we love what we do.

Adam first came to see us around four years ago. Back then, he struggled to follow conversations and the TV was always turned up loud. His first hearing aids made a big difference — but this new pair has been a complete step up.

Here’s what he said:

“The difference is like night and day. I can hear clearly, tell where sounds are coming from, and the battery life is unbelievable — 16 hours of wear and still around 40% left by the end of the day.
If you already wear hearing aids, upgrade. If you don’t — don’t wait. You’ll wish you’d done it years ago.”

It’s been a privilege to help Adam on his hearing journey, and I’m incredibly grateful he’s shared his experience.

Sound carries memory — today we listen with our hearts.
To all who served and sacrificed, thank you.
We will remember them.

Meet Lianne Graham – Practice & Accounts Manager at Hearing Check

Lianne has been part of the Hearing Check team for over four and a half years, ensuring everything behind the scenes runs seamlessly for both patients and staff.

As Practice and Accounts Manager, she oversees the day-to-day running of the Preston Hearing Care Centre and supports audiologists across all clinics. Lianne’s organisational skills, attention to detail, and friendly approach help create an efficient and welcoming environment where patients feel supported from the very first contact.

She says, “I love being the central support for our team and our patients — making sure everything runs smoothly so our audiologists can focus on delivering the best possible care.”

Having always been drawn to roles that combine people and organisation, Lianne finds it rewarding to know that the systems she manages directly contribute to better hearing health outcomes.

Her advice? “Don’t wait. Hearing health is just as important as vision or dental care — early checks make a big difference.”

Outside of work, Lianne enjoys spending time with family and friends, exploring the outdoors, learning new skills like crocheting, and relaxing with a good true crime series.

Meet Ged Rowbottom – Director & Hearing Aid Audiologist at Hearing Check (BUPA Dental Practice, Sowerby Bridge).
Ged has been with Hearing Check for over 10 years, combining leadership of the business with a hands-on role helping people rediscover the joy of clear hearing.

For Ged, the most rewarding part of his work is “putting a smile on people’s faces when they realise they can hear clearly again.” His calm, caring approach helps patients feel at ease — always taking time to explain what’s happening, listen to concerns, and understand what each individual needs.

He says, “Your hearing stimulates your brain — good hearing can slow cognitive decline and reduce the risk of dementia.” It’s a message he’s passionate about sharing.

Outside of work, Ged enjoys golf, the gym, walking his dog, and dry stone walling.

His guiding principle? “Treat everyone as you would wish to be treated yourself.”

Meet Emma Attwater – Business Admin & Marketing at Hearing Check

Emma has been part of the Hearing Check team for over two and a half years, bringing energy, creativity, and organisation to every part of the business. Her role is wonderfully varied — combining business administration, marketing, and patient support.

On any given day, Emma might be working closely with hearing aid manufacturers, creating engaging marketing campaigns, updating the website with Stephen, or setting up hearing aids and helping patients feel comfortable with their new devices.

She says, “No two days are the same, and I’m constantly growing both professionally and personally. Everyone here goes above and beyond for our patients, and it’s such a wonderful atmosphere to work in.”

When it comes to helping patients who may feel nervous, Emma’s approach is simple: empathy and patience. “I always start by listening, explaining everything clearly, and avoiding jargon — a friendly tone makes all the difference.”
