Hearing Care at Barnard Levit Optometrists
Changes in hearing tend to happen slowly, which is why they're often overlooked until they start to affect everyday life.
At Barnard Levit Optometrists, we believe your hearing deserves the same care and attention as your eyesight. That's why we're pleased to offer a dedicated hearing care service, right here in practice.
In partnership with Amplify Hearing, we provide personalised, professional support, whether you've noticed a change in your hearing or simply want the reassurance of a routine check.

Complimentary Hearing Tests
Hearing loss is more common than many people realise, and because it tends to develop gradually, the early signs can be easy to miss. Regular hearing checks are a simple but important way to look after your hearing health. They can help identify changes early, giving you peace of mind and supporting your hearing for the future.
At Barnard Levit Optometrists, we're pleased to offer complimentary hearing tests for patients aged 55 and over, giving you a clear, reassuring picture of your hearing health.
Your appointment will include:
- A warm, unhurried conversation about your hearing and any concerns you may have
- A gentle examination of your ears and ear canals
- A thorough hearing test using advanced equipment
- A clear, patient explanation of your results
- Honest, caring advice with absolutely no obligation
Appointments usually last around 60 minutes, giving you plenty of time to feel comfortable, ask questions, and receive a truly thorough assessment.

If hearing aids are recommended, we'll take the time to talk you through all the available options, helping you find the right fit for your lifestyle, needs and budget.
You'll have the chance to try different options for yourself, so you can feel confident before making any decisions.
All hearing aids come with:
- Lifetime aftercare and support

- Ongoing adjustments and fine-tuning, whenever you need them
Our care doesn't end at the fitting, we're here for the long term, supporting you every step of the way to keep hearing clearly and comfortably.
Microsuction Wax Removal
A build-up of ear wax is a common and very treatable cause of blocked ears, muffled hearing, discomfort or irritation.
At Barnard Levit Optometrists, we offer microsuction ear wax removal, a gentle and effective treatment carried out by a fully trained and qualified professional who will make sure you feel comfortable throughout.
As a water-free technique, microsuction is widely recognised as one of the safest ways to remove wax, offering quick relief and restoring clarity and comfort to your hearing.
