The HearCo Difference: Why Real Hearing Care is More Than Just a Quick Test

Hearco
Apr 8, 2026

If you’ve recently noticed a change in your hearing, taking the first step towards getting hearing aids can feel overwhelming. The high street is dominated by massive corporate chains that often treat you like a number, while some independent clinics charge premium prices that simply don’t reflect the value of the service you receive.
At Hearco, we believe you deserve better. We believe in providing clinical excellence, unmatched aftercare, and transparent pricing—without the corporate rush or the excessive price tag.
Here is why choosing Hearco is the best decision for your hearing health.
We Don't Skip the Crucial Steps
Many people don’t realise that a standard "beep test" in a soundproof booth is only the beginning of a proper hearing assessment. At Hearco, we provide a truly comprehensive diagnostic evaluation to ensure your hearing aids are tailored precisely to your unique ears. Our process includes:
Tympanometry: we check the health of your middle ear to ensure there are no underlying medical issues affecting your hearing.
Speech Testing: hearing isn’t just about detecting sounds; it’s about understanding conversation. We test your speech recognition to ensure your new hearing aids will actually help you hear your loved ones in noisy environments.
Real Ear Measurements (REMs): this is the golden standard of audiology, yet surprisingly, a huge number of high street chains and audiologists (70%) skip this step to save time, or because they don't know how to do it. Furthermore, many audiologists who do attempt to perform this procedure, do so incorrectly due to poor training, time pressure and equipment/facility limitations. Essentially REMs involves placing a tiny microphone in your ear canal alongside your hearing aid to measure exactly what the device is doing in your specific ear. Without REMs, an audiologist is simply guessing. With REMs, we guarantee your hearing aid is prescribed with pinpoint accuracy.
Direct Access to Your Audiologist
Have you ever tried to get an urgent adjustment at a high street chain, only to be put on hold by a national call centre or told you have to wait three weeks to see a different audiologist?
At Hearco, you get personal, one-to-one service. We pride ourselves on offering direct access to your audiologist at all times. Whether you have a quick question about a battery, need advice on cleaning, or require a fine-tuning adjustment, you speak directly to the expert who knows you and your ears best.
Aftercare That Sets Us Apart
Buying a hearing aid is not a one-off transaction; it is the beginning of a journey towards better hearing. Your brain needs time to adapt to new sounds, and your hearing aids will need periodic tweaking. Our unparalleled aftercare program ensures you are supported every step of the way. We take the time to listen to your experiences and adjust your devices until they feel like a natural part of your life.
