Terms & Conditions
We are Sound and not Price motivated.
Our priority is to provide a quality service supported by first-class levels of excellence and expertise at competitive prices. We do not sell our hearing aids on the basis of cost alone. We take all the factors necessary to make hearing care work at its very best for our clients.
We are never knowingly undersold, and if you are able to find a comparable quote in terms of hearing aids and service, we will promise to meet the price (terms and conditions apply - see below).
