Matthew
Hearco Founder, MSc Advanced Audiology
I’ve spent more than a decade directing NHS and private audiology clinics, as well as mentoring the next generation of audiologists. I hold an MSc in Advanced Audiology, but the qualification that shapes my work every day is more personal: I’ve worn hearing aids since childhood. I know how vulnerable, frustrating, and life-changing better hearing can feel. That lived experience makes me a more patient, practical, and honest audiologist.

What customers say

'Matthew was welcoming, pleasant as was his immaculately clean surgery/office. First time for me of ear wax syringing by suction and I do highly recommend it. The discomfort was minimal I feel that Matthew’s calm confidence and awareness helped immensely. After there was a free ear test. What I didn’t realise is that he included a part of the ‘paid for’ ear test to check something as much for his information as mine, although he didn’t tell me until I asked. What I’m saying is that at no time did I feel pressured into buying hearing aids there and then. I will go back when I feel ready and purchase them from him as I trust him. He is more than an academically/technically qualified audiologist he comes over as a kind and knowledgeable audiologist… not a salesperson So highly recommended by me.'

'Hearco brilliant experience I have been wearing hearing aids for must be 20 years now, moderate to severely deaf. The new Behind the Ear hearing aids with the Custom in the ear shells are the Best I have had. Matthew’s knowledge and experience is beyond anything I have come across. I am truly grateful to Hearco I have learnt more in the last 2 weeks about my own hearing than ever before. Thank you.'

From the moment I stepped into Hearco Audiology Center, I knew I was in the right hands. The clinic itself is immaculately clean, modern, and equipped with the latest high-tech audiology equipment reflecting their genuine commitment to quality and care. A special mention to Mathew, the owner, who truly made this experience exceptional. His professionalism, kindness, and calm demeanor immediately put me at ease. He took the time to explain every step of the process in detail, ensuring I was completely comfortable and confident before proceeding. His attention to detail and genuine care for his patients are truly rare to find. It’s not just about the hearing service here it’s about the whole experience. You can feel the passion, integrity, and excellence in everything they do. Mathew’s welcoming personality and thoughtful approach make you feel more like a valued guest than just a client. If you’re anywhere in or around Brighton, I highly recommend visiting Hearco Audiology Center for any hearing or audiology-related needs. You’ll receive not only top-tier professional service but also genuine compassion and care. A world-class experience right here in Brighton Marina thank you, Hearco and Mathew, for setting such a high standard! 👏✨'
