What DigiClear Hearing does

DigiClear Hearing is an independent UK hearing care provider operating private clinics in Bishop's Stortford and Chingford with a partnership location at Wright & Bailey in London. The company sells and fits hearing aids from 8 major manufacturers (Bernafon, Oticon, Phonak, ReSound, Signia, Starkey, Unitron, Widex) covering 99+ styles, and provides supporting clinical services including hearing tests and assessments, earwax removal via microsuction (a microscope-guided suction technique), and tinnitus consultation and treatment. Management cites over 40 years of combined audiologist experience and more than 2,450 patients treated, with the Clinical Director identified as Oliver Wright.

The business model combines hardware sales (multi-brand hearing aid packages with multi-year guarantees and 60-day money-back trials) with professional service revenue (90-minute hearing assessments, microsuction earwax removal sessions, and a tinnitus consultation package priced at £140 including 2-week treatment trial and follow-up). Pricing is largely quote-based on hearing aids while services carry disclosed fees. Distribution runs through physical centres plus phone booking, an online consultation form, blog content, social media (Facebook, YouTube, Instagram), and a free Zoom-based Hearing Care Academy educational event series.

DigiClear differentiates against high-street competitors (Boots, Specsavers) through manufacturer-agnostic dispensing, HCPC-registered clinical staff, and family-practice positioning. The corporate entity is DigiClear Hearing Ltd, a privately-held UK private limited company with no disclosed external funding.
