Boots Hearingcare - Southend-on-Sea Anmeldelser 

Why was my original review not published on trust pilot about three months ago? It was damming. I came out of hospital in December latter a successful tripe A operation, thanked the surgeon the next day and knew nothing for three weeks. I had to be resuscitated, had a heart attack, was ventilated for two sessions, had a dissected aorta and other less serious complaints!’ Seventeen days in intensive care affected my hearing and mind. These are possible side effects for the operation. When I had recovered enough I looked into hearing aids as my hearing was suddenly very poor. “Which rather Boots and Specsavers about equal and I chose Boots. Very big mistake. In two Boots hearing shops the advisers were unable to communicate in a satisfactory manner (Southend and Basildon). I bought from Southend at four thousand five hundred and after two weeks had to return to have them altered ( the advisor was unable to link them properly on the I-phone. He said they would have to be returned to head office and it would take ten days. I broke down ( still very vulnerable from the operation - in fact writing this still brings it all back). I said surely they could be couriered- but know. We had to leave as I could take no more. I later phoned head office and spoke to three different people who were increasingly unhelpful. I broke down again. My wife had to make the call the next day. Eventually the aids were returned but were still no use. I reclaimed my money and went to Specsavers in Southend. What a difference! Advisors who would listen and who could talk. After two small adjustments they were perfect . Two other things: I was told by Boots that I needed a hand held receiver that you pointed at people in a noisy environment. That part of the deal cost a grand! In the 21st century do you do that?? At Specsavers everything is in the app, all is explained clearly and even I ( at eighty) had no problem! The final thing?: they cost seventeen hundred pounds less. I have informed “ Which” as Boots appears to get mostly good reviews. Sorry for the long post but I feel it is important that people find out that all is not necessarily well and they are being overcharged. Good luck if you are buying but beware! Chris. ( the date I have had to put in may not be exact as I did not keep a record of my first post.

Unfortunately I purchased a pair of hearing aids and one had an intermittent fault a week ago.
Today you replaced them with no problem with a new pair.
I found the Southend on sea the royals very professional and polite .
Many thanks.

Quality Hearing Aids.
The service was very good, I was seen on time and although I needed hearing aids being assured that I was buying the right ones was extremely important and cost was a major consideration.

I made this appointment knowing my hearing had deteriorated since having long Covid. I was seen on time & felt extremely comfortable with the staff member I saw. The 75 minute test was not intrusive in any way & explanations were given at every step. It was easy to do what was needed & the audiologist was very courteous & professional & never made me feel uncomfortable in any way. Unfortunately I needed hearing aids, but was expecting to be told this. It was still a bit of a shock though. I was given all the information I needed to make my mind up & also given some aids to try out for half an hour to see how I felt with them & the difference it would make to my hearing. I did some shopping & it was amazing how clear everythibng was, which made me decide it was the right thing to do. I asked lots of questions which were answered in detail & given choices of aids which would be suitable. After advice from the audiologist I chose the ones he thought best & the colour. I can pay in monthly installments which is a great help as I'm now a pensioner. The whole experience was one of politeness, professionalism & with a friendly manner. I would definitely recomnend Boots Hearingcare if you need your hearing checked.

Very professional all questions answered
Felt comfortable everything thought of.
