Portishead and us
A coastal town without a clinic of its own
Portishead has changed a great deal in the last twenty years, growing from a small dock town into one of the larger towns on this stretch of coast, with new estates spreading out from the marina. What hasn't kept pace is independent hearing care: there's no dedicated audiology clinic in the town itself.
A steady number of our patients make the short trip down the B3124 from Portishead, Walton-in-Gordano and Portbury. Many come first for ear wax removal, since GP waiting lists for the service have grown longer, and stay on for hearing tests and, when needed, hearing aids.

Why Portishead patients choose us
Worth the twenty minutes
Portishead patients usually tell us the same thing: they wanted somewhere independent and unhurried, rather than a rushed slot fitted around a chemist queue. What they get here:
- A free, unhurried hearing test with a qualified audiologist
- Ear wax removal by trained clinicians, often within a day or two
- A video otoscope, so you can watch the wax come out on screen
- Two minutes’ walk from free parking at B&M Bargains
- Six-manufacturer hearing aid advice, not tied to one brand
- Home visits across Portishead and the Gordano villages
