Patient Reviews
Choosing the right audiology clinic is an important and personal decision, so we'd like you to hear from the people who know us best: our patients.
Ear Care Specialists is an independent audiology clinic at 637 Mansfield Road, Sherwood, Nottingham, led by Dr Jeff Davies, a dual-registered audiologist and hearing aid dispenser.
Below are just a handful of genuine reviews from our Google profile, covering microsuction ear wax removal, hearing tests, hearing aids and tinnitus care. We have allowed these to build slowly and organically over time.
★★★★★
Kevin, ear wax removal patient
"Honestly just an amazing experience! Dr Jeff was very meticulous and thoroughly explained the entire procedure to me beforehand. The ear wax removal was completely pain free and left my ears feeling brand new. I was very happy with the service, overall just a fantastic experience."
★★★★★
Paul, ear wax removal patient
"After three failed microsuction wax removal attempts at Boots, I went to see Jeff at Ear Care Specialists in Sherwood. He's an absolute legend. His high grade specialist equipment was next level. The wax had softened after a few days of sodium bicarbonate ear drops and he removed the full plug safely and painlessly. He also cleared out skin debris behind it. My hearing is now 100% crisp and clear. If you're in Nottingham and you're missing some clarity in your ears, this is the place to go."

David, ear wax removal for his daughter
"My daughter was struggling with blocked ears, made an appointment for ear wax removal, and Dr Jeff was super nice and explained how he would remove it. It took him like 10 minutes to clear both her ears. She came out so relieved and able to hear normally again. Really good service and great Dr manner."
★★★★★
Jean, hearing aid patient
"I went initially for a full hearing assessment after a recommendation from a friend. It became apparent hearing aids would help with my mild/moderate loss of hearing. Even though it occurred to me to get NHS aids, after Jeff talked me through every option, I decided to accept a trial period (no pressure) and within hours I was so impressed resulting in me collecting my own aids! Jeff and his wife are so thorough and patient, explaining everything in detail and not patronising in the least. I have since been back for retuning as necessary and never had to wait longer than a couple of days for my appt. I now have 5 years peace of mind with Ear Care Specialists and unreservedly recommend them to anyone thinking of trying hearing aids or other hearing services."
★★★★★
Peter, Roger mic patient
"I have worn NHS hearing aids for fifteen years. My hearing had deteriorated over the last three years. I attend a lipreading group and was advised by a fellow student to consider using a Roger pen. I consulted Dr Jeff Davies and was provided with a lot of useful information about Roger technology and how to use it. After a trial period, I decided to buy a Roger pen. I am delighted with it. It has four different modes and has made a great improvement to my day to day hearing and comprehension."
★★★★★
Justin, hearing test patient
"This was my first time speaking to a specialist about my hearing and Dr Jeff immediately put me at ease. Having ruled out wax being the issue using in ear imaging, he was able to carry out checks of my hearing, explain clearly what they mean and recommend the next steps. I'm so glad that I visited and would highly recommend to others based on my own experience."
★★★★★
Susan, audiology assessment patient
"I had been troubled by my lack of hearing and potential tinnitus as an older person and resolved to have a thorough audiology assessment. I am glad that the person was Jeff. [...] His calm delivery relieved my anxiety and a range of options were given for monitoring including literature, ENT, a support group and lip reading. I'm happy to report the assessment outcome was better than I had anticipated."
★★★★★
James, wax removal patient
"I attended the Ear Care Specialists clinic and had a flawless experience. Parking was easy to find and directly outside the door of the clinic and the procedure was completed thoroughly, swiftly, and without any discomfort at all. Every step was explained and I was able to see (and hear!!!) the difference as the procedure completed. My hearing is now amazing and would highly recommend this clinic to all!"
★★★★★
Alan, wax removal, tinnitus and hearing aid advice
"I have had several appointments with Dr Jeff over the last few weeks including wax removal, tinnitus and hearing aid advice. He is very professional and knowledgeable and made me feel at ease immediately. He was patient and reassuring. I would totally recommend him to anyone who needs help with their hearing. I was very pleased with the excellent service I received."
★★★★★
Nicky, tinnitus patient
"I had recently developed Tinitus only in one ear , causing me a lot of distress and quite frankly I was scared and upset , I searched the Internet and waited for an NHS appointment, where the GP ticked boxes for a referral in the far distance future ! I wanted advise , tools that I could use.
I found The Ear Care Specialist , made an appointment with Dr Jeff Davies , the 90 minute appointment was everything I had been looking for and wished for. Jeff explained everything so thoroughly and listened to my tale , asking questions that might help us find the best treatment or tool. He did all the ear tests that might point or eliminate reasons for my Tinnitus, he used a model of the workings of an ear and pictures which helped me understand what was happening to me.
He then told me things I could do or use , all this was recorded and shortly after I left I received a lengthy email of everything we had talked about and helpful links , I knew I could ask any questions and I left feeling much more positive and not so anxious about dealing with my Tinitus. Highly recommend an appointment with Jeff"

Nick, wax removal for his daughter
"I have been treated by Jeff many times over the last few years. He is an outstanding practitioner. He always has time to listen and put you at ease. I took my daughter today who struggles with sensitive hearing and autism. His calm and methodical approached really helped her to cope with the anxiety she felt from a first treatment. Can't recommend this practice highly enough".
