Amplify Hearing
About Amplify Hearing
Amplify Hearing is one of the UK's largest independent hearing care networks, operating through over 400 practices inside local independent opticians across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. They offer free hearing tests, hearing aids from leading manufacturers, and ongoing aftercare — all delivered by qualified audiologists in your local community.
Amplify Hearing was founded with a mission to bring high-quality, independent hearing care to communities across the UK. Rather than building standalone clinics, Amplify partnered with local independent opticians to offer hearing services alongside existing eye care — making it easy for people to access hearing tests in familiar, trusted high-street locations. Since launching, Amplify has grown rapidly to over 400 practice locations, becoming one of the largest independent hearing care networks in the country. Their model of working inside established optician practices means lower overheads and more competitive pricing, while patients benefit from the personal service and continuity of care that independent practices are known for.
