Welcome to The Hearing Well Practice
The Hearing Well Practice is part of Hashir International Institute, a centre recognised worldwide for its expertise in hearing impairment, tinnitus, hyperacusis, and misophonia. At our local clinics, we combine the latest technology with compassionate care to help you hear clearly and live confidently.
Our team of audiologists, psychologists, and occupational therapists provides expert support that goes beyond the technical aspects of hearing and communication. We address the psychological impact of hearing difficulties and offer guidance on home and workplace adaptations, assistive technologies, communication strategies, and social or occupational participation. We help patients build confidence and self-efficacy in using hearing aids and listening strategies effectively. Through clear education on how hearing works and how amplification supports it, we enhance coping skills and empower patients to make the most of their hearing technology.
Whether you need a routine hearing test, professional ear wax removal, or fitting of discreet, advanced hearing aids, we will provide solutions tailored to your needs. For those experiencing tinnitus or sound intolerance, we offer internationally recognised therapy programmes designed to reduce distress and restore peace of mind.
Our Services
Grounded in Research-Led Care
At The Hearing Well Practice, every service we deliver is informed by research from Hashir International Institute’s team of audiologists, psychologists, and occupational therapists. Our findings show that successful hearing care depends not only on advanced technology, but also on precision, psychological support, and ongoing guidance.
Our services include:
-
- Hearing Tests – Comprehensive assessments for adults and children
- Ear Wax Removal – Safe, professional microsuction for clear and comfortable hearing
- Advanced Hearing Aids – Discreet, modern devices with wireless streaming, rechargeable batteries, and wellbeing features
- Tinnitus Care – Specialist CBT-based programmes to reduce distress and improve coping
- Support for Hyperacusis & Misophonia – Evidence-based approaches to manage sound sensitivity and emotional responses to sound
- Health Psychology – Evidence-based strategies to address the emotional, cognitive, and behavioural impact of hearing and sound disorders
- Occupational Therapy – Practical solutions to support daily living, communication, and participation at home and work
Dr. Aazh’s research highlights the importance of fitting hearing aids with precision using real-ear measurements, while also recognising why some people struggle to use them consistently. His studies show that counselling, home and workplace adaptations, and personalised support can build confidence. By combining technical accuracy with effective communication strategies and social support, patients are empowered to gain the greatest benefit from amplification.
