Why choose James David to look after your ears
James David Hearing gives the gold-standard in audiological care.
Premium clinical care
Whether you’re looking for a hearing test or wax-removal, our ‘normal’ is best-in-class. You’ll be provided with a range of audiological tests (that many other providers do not offer as standard) using state-of-the-art equipment to help give the correct diagnosis and the most accurate hearing solution for you.
Market-leading technology
Because we are truly independent, we work with all of the major hearing aid manufacturers in the world without being tied-in to any of them. This means that you’ll have a hearing solution which gives you the best comfort, discretion and importantly quality-of-sound.
Quality time with your Audiologist
We’re a family business, not just some corporate machine. Something as important as your hearing should not be rushed. We can decide together how long we need for each appointment. This goes for your assessment as well as your aftercare, which lasts for the lifetime of your hearing aid.

Our hearing services
- Are you or your loved ones noticing changes to your hearing?
- Do you struggle with tinnitus?
- Maybe you already have hearing aids but can’t get away with them in noisy places.
We have a wide range of Audiological services to help in these situations and many others.

Hearing Aids
All of our hearing aids are fitted using Real Ear Measurements, the only way to have an accurate acoustic fitting, though many providers do not offer this as standard.
We also supply the latest technology from most major hearing aid manufacturers: Phonak, Starkey, Widex, Signia, Oticon and GN Resound.
Hearing Tests
Our range of clinical tests ensure we give you the most accurate diagnosis and prescription: Pure Tone Audiometry as the industry standard but also Tympanometry, Acoustic Reflex testing, speech-in-noise testing, Real Ear Measurements and others on request. We really go the extra mile to ensure we get it right for you.
Ear Wax Removal
Our go-to method for earwax removal is to gently vacuum the wax from your ear, which is much safer than syringing or water irrigation.
Custom Hearing Protection
We can supply and fit custom protection for your ears. If you want the best experience when you’re listening to music, swimming, shooting, working in noisy environments…we have a solution for you.

Had a home visit with David this morning and couldn’t recommend his services enough. Punctual, professional and knowledgeable to the point of knowing not to perform one specific type of examination due to a medical device that I have fitted. Went above and beyond to provide the best experience possible.Posted on Google Paul CookTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Email David asking for some help. Called me back that evening and talked me through the problem with my ear. He was able to disgnose the issue and came up with a plan to rectify the isuue. Called me a week later to confirm all was okay my hearing. Great service, Thank you.Posted on Google Raymond HartTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely First Class from James, very professional arrived on time for my appointment at home. I have arthritis in my neck which gives me balance issues, but some of the dizziness came from a very blocked ear. I can feel a vast improvement now. I would highly recommend James David Hearing Care.Posted on Google Adam GTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Come out today in Hartlepool and checked both ears, one was blocked which was cleared with a suction machine. No hidden fees, answered questions I had and was a good friendly service.Posted on Google Rusty WilsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had ear wax leaving me completely deaf in my left ear. Very generously came out to my home, very polite and respectful, was very clear about prices and they were extremely reasonable for the service provided. I am now hearing clearly out of both ears and the procedure was easy, quick and completely painless. Would 100% recommend. Only downside is that now I can hear my wife from both sides. Be careful what you wish for.Posted on Google Frank..moves.. FastTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
