At The Optic Shop, we understand that hearing well is just as important as seeing clearly. That’s why we’ve partnered with Amplify Hearing to bring expert audiology services to all our practices across South Wales - located in Bridgend, Carmarthen, Crosshands, Porthcawl, and Swansea . Whether you're experiencing hearing difficulties, looking to maintain your hearing health, or simply need a routine check-up, our dedicated team is here to support you.
With a range of tailored hearing solutions, from free hearing tests to advanced hearing aids and tinnitus management, we provide independent advice, expert care, and lifelong support to keep you connected to the world around you.
Hearing loss often happens gradually, making it easy to overlook until it starts affecting conversations, work, or social activities. Since hearing can change due to age, noise exposure, or medical conditions, regular hearing tests are key to maintaining your auditory health.
Our free hearing test is a quick, comprehensive assessment carried out by our experienced audiologist. We’ll check the health of your ears, assess your hearing, and explain the results clearly. If needed, we’ll discuss personalised solutions to help you hear better and stay engaged in daily life.
The test takes just 30-60 minutes—a small step that could make a big difference in your hearing.
Blocked ears? Muffled hearing? A feeling of fullness in your ears? These could all be signs of excess earwax build up, a common cause of temporary hearing issues.
At The Optic Shop, we offer microsuction earwax removal, a safe, painless, and water-free procedure that gently removes wax blockages and restores clear, comfortable hearing. The treatment takes just a few minutes and offers instant results, making it an easy way to improve your hearing clarity and ear health.
Regular earwax removal is especially important for hearing aid users, as wax build up can interfere with device performance. Book your appointment today for quick and effective relief.
