"From my initial email enquiry through the hearing test to the hearing aid fitting, Blackdown Hearing was excellent.

Our Hearing Services
Hearing Tests
At Blackdown Hearing in Taunton, we offer hearing tests for all levels of hearing loss. Our qualified audiologist will take the time to understand your lifestyle and medical history before carrying out a full assessment in our comfortable sound booth. We’ll explain your results clearly and offer honest, independent advice on hearing aids if needed - always with expert care and no pressure. We proudly serve Taunton and Somerset with trusted hearing tests in a relaxed, welcoming environment.
Hearing Aids
Proudly independent, we offer an extensive range of the latest advanced hearing aids in Taunton, sourced from the world’s leading manufacturers. From virtually invisible in-ear models to powerful behind-the-ear and rechargeable options, our hearing aid solutions suit every lifestyle and level of hearing loss. Each hearing aid includes expert fitting, comprehensive aftercare, annual check-ups, and a warranty of up to 5 years - giving you peace of mind today and for years to come.
Earwax Removal
Recently, we have seen that many GP surgeries in Somerset no longer offer earwax removal treatment. While earwax can be an innocuous issue that causes a feeling of a blockage in the ear, it can also cause fatiguing symptoms that can adversely affect your quality of life. We know that ears can benefit from regular earwax removal, and we offer this popular service at our Taunton clinic, including the latest microsuction treatment, ensuring your ears stay healthy and comfortable.
Proudly Independent
At Blackdown Hearing, we’re proudly independent - unlike most high-street hearing providers in Somerset. That means honest, unbiased advice, a wider choice of the latest hearing aids, and hearing care that’s focused entirely on you.
In the 2025 Which? Magazine survey, independent audiologists earned the highest customer satisfaction score of 86%, outperforming high street chains across nine key areas - including hearing aid comfort, value for money, aftercare, and clinic facilities.
We’re proud to deliver that same high standard right here in Taunton. From calm, unrushed appointments to continuity with the same audiologist, we offer expert care you can trust - without sales pressure or targets.
