What people say about us?
Paul, Thatcham
Livingston was my audiologist for 4 years, after being diagnosed with hearing loss.
Throughout, and again now, Livingston has been extremely helpful and professional, recommending the perfect aids for my requirements and assisting with follow-up maintenance and tuning.
I have complete trust in the service and advice provided, and would recommend without hesitation.
Natalie, Reading
What an absolute pleasure it was to see Livingstone in his new shop and right in the heart of Tilehurst. His knowledge, skill, empathy and customer care is a far cry from my previous audiologist and hearing care centre.. From an initial chat as I wasn't happy with my current aids and care I had been under, through a hearing test, lots of questions, chat about new aids, free trial and no pressure purchase it was a breath of fresh air... As Livingstone is an independent audiologist and not affiliated with any particular brand we talked through all the options to find the aids that best suited my hearing loss and would aid me whilst still working in my school setting.. They also Bluetooth to my iPhone which has given me back the confidence to talk on the phone again and have my own personal AirPods... I highly recommend Livingstone and a big shout out to Sonya on reception for her warm welcome and keeping me up to date with my appts (and having a friendly chat) ... Thank you for caring.
Mary, Hungerford
I was really pleased with Livingston Sengolraj -- he was highly recommended by a friend, and was very professional. Not only was he very through in the testing he did, he was also very good at explaining what he was doing. When he fitted my hearing aids, once again he was both helpful and good at explaining things. I am delighted with the hearing aids and am looking forward to working with Livingston over the next few years.

What happens after the hearing test?
Once your hearing test is complete, we’ll review your results with you and explain the next steps based on your hearing health. Here’s what you can expect depending on your results:
Normal Hearing
If your results indicate normal hearing, there’s no need for immediate action. However, we recommend periodic hearing checks to monitor your hearing over time, especially if you’ve noticed changes or are exposed to noisy environments.
Medical Referral
If the test identifies an underlying medical condition affecting your hearing, such as an ear infection, excessive earwax, or other health issues, we’ll refer you to an appropriate medical specialist for further evaluation and treatment.
Mild Hearing Loss (No Immediate Help Needed)
For those with mild hearing loss that doesn’t currently require intervention, we may not recommend a hearing aid right away. Instead, we’ll provide advice on protecting your hearing and suggest regular retests—typically every 12 to 18 months—to monitor any changes.
Hearing Loss That Requires Assistance
If your hearing test shows a level of hearing loss that would benefit from assistance, we’ll discuss the options available, including hearing aids. We’ll work with you to find the best solution tailored to your needs, lifestyle, and preferences.
Follow-Up Support
Regardless of your results, we’re here to support you every step of the way. Whether it’s ongoing monitoring, medical referrals, or fitting and fine-tuning hearing aids, our goal is to help you maintain or improve your hearing and stay connected with the world around you.
