Helping you enjoy every moment, every conversation

Hearing Care at Stephen Cuddy Optometrists

From laughter and music to the simple sounds of everyday life, hearing helps us connect with the world. When it starts to fade, those precious moments can lose their clarity without warning.

At Stephen Cuddy Optometrists, we know good hearing is key to enjoying life to the full—just like healthy eyes and teeth. That’s why we’ve teamed up with Hear Always to provide expert, personalised hearing care, all from the place you know and trust.

Your Complimentary Hearing Test

Our free hearing assessments are relaxed, friendly, and thorough. Lasting around 45–60 minutes, each appointment gives you the time to ask questions, share your concerns, and get clear answers about your hearing health.

During your visit, we will:

  • Talk through your hearing history and any changes you’ve noticed
  • Gently examine your ears and ear canals
  • Carry out a detailed hearing test using the latest technology
  • Review your results together
  • Offer honest, tailored advice that suits your needs

Even if you feel your hearing is fine, regular checks help identify changes early and protect your hearing for the future.

Gentle & Effective Wax Removal

Sometimes hearing loss is caused by nothing more than a build-up of earwax. Our professional microsuction service quickly and safely removes excess wax using a gentle suction device—no water required.

It’s safe, comfortable, and particularly suitable for sensitive ears or hearing aid wearers. Most people notice clearer hearing straight away. Appointments usually take around 15 minutes.
