Our amazing Video Otoscope with its miniature camera lets you see the condition of your ear canal right up on a TV monitor! It's safe, painless, even fascinating.

And my expert Audiologist, Gus, will explain what you are seeing and advise you whether or not you need an earwax cleaning or if you should get additional hearing tests - which we provide FREE to you in our local practices.

If it turns out you could be helped, we provide all the information you need. A limited number of appointments are available each week.

The Most Comprehensive & Complete Hearing TestTM

Let's start with The Most Comprehensive & Complete Hearing Test - FREE at Loftus & Skelton Optical. Just call to book your appointment. There's no cost and no obligation. It's possible we'll find that your "blurry hearing" is simply being caused by accumulated, imbedded earwax, easily corrected.

Or, if tests reveal hearing loss that can be helped with hearing aids, we'll explain your condition and even give you an immediate demonstration of how your hearing can be improved. We'll explain the different options and hearing aid models available.

At Loftus & Skelton Optical we have the ability to give you an actual, "live" demonstration of how your hearing will be improved, including what the TV and your spouse's voice will sound like.You can be the judge.

We call it the HEARING SENSATION DEMONSTRATION, because if you have been having trouble, feeling as if people are mumbling around you, missing words in conversation or on TV...you'll agree this is a SENSATION, when you instantly, actually hear everything with so much more clarity!

The Most Comprehensive & Complete Hearing Test includes a complete Audiometric Electronic HearingTest, a Video Otoscope Examination of your ear canals - and you see what we see on a colourTV video monitor.
