Charlwood Hearing Care

Our aim is to provide a caring, professional service and to offer the best possible advice to our clients. For over 20 years the Charlwood family has been fitting hearing aids in North Yorkshire. Our main centre is located in Scarborough and is the Yorkshire coast's only dedicated independent hearing centre.

As well as assessing hearing and providing hearing aids, we also supply a range of high quality custom made hearing protection for musicians, industrial workers, motorcycle riders, recreational sports such as shooting and also earplugs for sleeping.

We can also supply custom moulds for iPods and MP3 players which are not only more comfortable than generic ear phones, but allow you to listen to music at a safer volume level by blocking out more background noise.We can offer advice and a range of devices to help manage tinnitus including white noise generators and maskers, bedside sound generators, relaxation devices and pillow speakers for discreet listening.

Scarborough is the location for our main branch, situated at the end of Aberdeen Walk in the town centre. We have a parking space on the pavement directly in front of the shop which customers can use, or there is disc parking free for 2 hours on the surrounding streets such as Victoria Street, Clifton Street and Dean Road.

We have two clinics available in York at VisionCare Optometry in Acomb and the Nuffield Health York Hospital on Haxby Road. We offer our full range of services here, including free initial consultations, full tests and assessments, hearing aid trials and microsuction wax removal.

As a registered consultant at the Nuffield Hospital, Neil is able to offer a hearing aid clinic for which the initial consultation is free of charge, but the hospital do make a direct charge of 78 for a hearing test.This cost is then deducted from the purchase of the hearing aids. Unfortunately we are unable to offer our microsuction wax removal service at the Nuffield.

There are many reasons why we stop hearing as we'd like to, and everyone can be affected, regardless of age. Hearing loss often occurs gradually, so that we tend to forget how things sound and therefore your lifestyle can be affected in a number of different ways. You have to turn up the volume on the TV or radio - often so that it is too loud for other people in the room.
