Domiciliary Visits without compromise
All testing equipment is the very latest in cutting edge diagnostic technology which would normally be found in a Hospital or Clinical setting, but due to advancements in miniaturisation, this equipment is now portable, allowing Andrew to make a comprehensive hearing assessment in the clients own home.
During Testing, specialist headphones are employed to reduce any ambient noise that may be present in the home to ensure the accuracy of Hearing tests.
Independent, Local & Trustworthy
Andrew Friel Hearing Services is solely based within Lancashire, not affiliated with any National companies or Hearing Aid manufacturers and offers impartial, professional advice, based on the clinical needs of the client. Andrew does not work to any “sales targets” and all Hearing Aids are fitted for a 60 day free trial.
Previously Andrew worked from centres in Blackpool, Burnley, Blackburn and Lancaster and has thousands of satisfied previous clients. Most of Andrews work originates from recommendations and client word of mouth.
Client centred approach
Andrew has the philosophy that the most important component of Hearing care is the patient themselves. Andrew listens to what each client has to say, is aware of their needs and expectations and welcomes any feedback they may have. Everybody is individual; as is the personally tailored Hearing solution that Andrew provides.
