Hearing Tests
From Hidden Hearing in partnership with Gathercole & Ward in Huntingdon. Professional hearing tests and aids.
Improving your hearing, is improving your overall health
It is no secret that good health is the cornerstone for enjoying life how you want. As we get older, that becomes more important than ever.
You may not know that looking after your hearing is as important as good nutrition and regular exercise.
The potential risks to your health from undiagnosed hearing loss can be significant. It is essential to have regular hearing checks, as you would your blood pressure, cholesterol or eyesight.
That way, you can enjoy whatever you have planned to the fullest.

Is your hearing as good as it can be?
Hearing loss can affect you at any age. But one thing is true, no matter how old you are: recognising the signs early will benefit you in the long term.
Are you:
• Asking others to repeat themselves?
• Having difficulties understanding people on the phone?
• Being told you’ve got the TV up too loud?
If you can relate to any of the above, you might be suffering from a hearing problem.
Hearing loss can cause you to become socially isolated or depressed. Research suggests that untreated hearing loss can increase your chances of developing dementia by between 2-5 times. Our hearing tests are free, quick and could set you on the path towards better hearing health and quality of life.
Hearing across the UK
*11 million people across the UK are now affected by hearing loss.
*1 in 5 people will experience hearing loss by 2035.
​
The statistics from Action on Hearing Loss in 2017 are pretty thought-provoking. The fact that so many people will suffer from some form of hearing impairment is worrying.
At Gathercole & Ward Opticians, we have partnered with Hidden Hearing because we understand how scary it can be, and the thought of admitting it to yourself can be pretty disconcerting. Our friendly team can arrange your free consultation with the welcoming staff at Hidden Hearing.
