Could anyone recommend private audiologist in London?

[BlueberryPancake]

I am a bit fed up with being stuck between an audiologist saying that DS (2yo) has communications problems, and speech therapist saying that DS probably has hearing loss (they could both be right!!) but I just want to be sure. DS does have liquid behind heardrums, audiologist saying that the hearing loss does not cause his speech delay, but speech therapist saying that all communication and play milestones have been reached. So I want a second opinion on hearing loss.

Does anyone knows/can point me towards a private hospital or specialist to carry out the tests, in London (East End)? My MIL has offered to pay, but we might share the cost depending on how much it is...

could try contacting either Christopher Place for an assessment

or the portland hospital??

Neither in East end but in central london.

good luck!

Try to avoid the London Ear Centre - I bought some hearing aids there recently and the audiologist calibrated my hearing aids using an audiogram from another clinic, which turned out to be incorrect. Then after calibrating the hearing aids, the audiologist failed to check the feedback, which turned out to be extremely bad.

Could be down to human error, but when you're paying £1000s of pounds to go private the quality of service should be higher than that. Overall I got the impression that the audiologist had more training in customer service and sales than in audiology, so unless you've got money to throw around, best look for another clinic...
