HEARING AIDS

Modern hearing solutions, designed around you.

At Stotts Opticians & Audiologists, we believe hearing aids should enhance your life - not interrupt it. That's why we don't rush straight to recommending devices. We take the time to understand how you hear, where you spend your time, and what matters most to you. Only then do we guide you towards the right hearing solution.

A different approach to hearing aids.

Many hearing providers focus on quick tests and immediate sales. We do things differently. Your hearing is shaped by:

  • Your lifestyle
  • Your social environments
  • The people and conversations around you

So instead of simply prescribing a device, we build a hearing solution that fits your world.

We guide - you decide.

Our hearing aid prices.

Our hearing aids start from £985, inclusive of aftercare and a 5 year warranty. With a range of options depending on your lifestyle and technology preferences. As an independent practice, we're able to recommend what's right for you - not what we're told to sell.

Your hearing assessment beforehand is always complimentary. We believe your hearing should be reviewed as regularly as your eyes and sight — so the assessment is free, whether or not you choose to go ahead with hearing aids.

Hearing aids — your questions answered

Good to know before you choose.

What's the difference between NHS and private hearing aids?

The NHS provides good-quality hearing aids free of charge, and for many people they work very well. Private care is not automatically better — it simply offers more choice: a wider range of smaller, more discreet and more advanced devices, more time at each appointment, the latest technology, and more extensive, personal aftercare over the years. Which is right depends on your hearing, your lifestyle and what matters to you. At STOTTS. your hearing assessment is complimentary either way, and we give honest advice — not a sales pitch.

Which hearing aid brand is best — Starkey, Phonak or Widex?

There is no single "best" brand — the right hearing aid depends on your hearing, your lifestyle and your budget, not the badge. We fit Starkey (our lead brand, known for AI-driven sound processing and health features), Phonak (excellent for speech in noise and connectivity) and Widex (prized for natural, high-fidelity sound). After a full assessment we recommend the specific model and technology level that genuinely suits how you live.

How much do hearing aids cost at STOTTS.?

Our private hearing aids start from £985, inclusive of aftercare and a 5-year warranty, with a range of options depending on your lifestyle and technology preferences. Your hearing assessment beforehand is always complimentary.

Do I need a hearing aid in both ears?

If you have hearing loss in both ears, two hearing aids usually work far better than one — they help you tell where sound is coming from, follow speech in background noise, and hear more naturally and comfortably. If only one ear is affected, a single aid may be all you need. Your audiologist will advise based on your assessment.

Will a hearing aid be obvious?

Modern hearing aids are remarkably discreet — many are invisible in everyday wear, and others are small, rechargeable and Bluetooth-ready. We will help you find a style that suits your ears and your life.

How long do hearing aids last?

With proper care, most hearing aids last around four to six years. Regular servicing and aftercare — included with every fitting at STOTTS. — keep them performing at their best for as long as possible.
