Welcome
Totnes | Bristol
As a small family practice with a personal touch, we’re here to help with any of your hearing needs. Situated in the heart of the South Hams district, Southwest Hearing is Totnes’ community-minded and independent audiology service. You’ll easily find us at our clinic in the South Devon House building, just off the A385 near Leatside GP Surgery. Whether it’s ear wax removal, diagnostics, hearing aids, custom ear protection, tinnitus, or vertigo - we have you covered.
Our core values centre around the optimal patient experience, and your friendly dedicated clinician Jonathan Doyle is a trusted expert in his field. Jonathan maintains registration with the Academy for Healthcare Science (AHCS) as a Clinical Physiologist specialising in Audiology, and the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) as a Registered Hearing Aid Dispenser. He is a recognised clinician provider with Bupa health insurance, and also an active member of the Association of Independent Hearing Healthcare Professionals (AIHHP).
Whilst Devon is where we call home, we also run pop-up clinics in Bristol held out of Factory Studios. Our primary focus in Bristol is to work with music industry affiliated clientele, including applicants for the Musicians’ Hearing Health Scheme and the Music Venue Trust. Here we also provide wax removal, hearing tests, and bespoke ear-moulds - as approved suppliers for ACS, Cosmic Ears, and Ultimate Ears.
Your ears are unique, and our approach is tailored in kind. Whatever your journey may be, consider us here to support you every step of the way.
