Fees & pricing
Every charge, in one place, before you book. We are not the cheapest — and we will tell you why we do not pretend to be.
The charges

| Hearing aids | Device price — honest bands below |
| EMI / instalments | Not offered `` |
``
This is the question families ask most, so we will answer it properly.
Many hearing-care centres offer a free consultation and a free hearing test. Their model is: free test → attract the customer → trial → device sale. The free test is not the service; it is the beginning of the sale.
We are not claiming to be cheaper than anyone. We are saying that "free" is not the whole cost, and that a paid, independent test is a different thing from a free one attached to a sale.
