In my own words
Why I started the clinics
I've spent well over a decade in audiology, and I've seen the industry from every angle: as a clinical director inside a large multinational hearing care provider, and as a clinical lecturer training the next generation at South Devon University and College. In 2019 I was selected for the Demant Stars Academy, one of just 80 audiologists chosen from around the world.
That range of experience is exactly why I founded The Hearing Clinic Group. I'd seen what independent, unhurried care could look like, and I wanted to build clinics around it: no manufacturer ties, just straight answers from people who take the time to give them properly.
We opened The Chepstow Hearing Clinic first, in 2022, then The Clevedon Hearing Clinic in 2023. Between them we've now cared for more than 4,000 patients across Chepstow, Monmouthshire, North Somerset, and the Bristol and Clevedon area, each one getting the same thing: proper time, full attention, and advice built entirely around what's right for them. Next on the horizon: new clinics in North Somerset and the Cotswolds.
Part of The Hearing Clinic Group
One family of independent clinics
Asa founded The Hearing Clinic Group to bring independent hearing care to two regions. The Chepstow Hearing Clinic came first, in 2022, followed by The Clevedon Hearing Clinic in 2023.
Both clinics share the same founder and the same clinical standards, which means unhurried appointments, honest advice and no ties to any hearing aid manufacturer. Together the clinics have supported over 4,000 patients across South Wales and the South West.
