About Me

Lesley Brown

I’m a highly skilled Audiologist with over 20 years' experience in the NHS and private sector.

I have a BSc in Clinical Physiology, BAA (British Academy of Audiology) professional qualifications, mentorship certification, and am a registered hearing aid dispenser.

Qualified in all methods of wax removal: microsuction, irrigation and manual removal.

Fully insured, DBS checked, and professionally registered with the AHCS and HCPC.

I live in the Darlington area with my husband, young daughter, and our cheeky rescue cats.

Company Ethos

Individually tailored care and exemplary service, always.

We guarantee you will receive care from a knowledgeable and highly skilled Audiology professional.

You will always be offered a free wax removal follow-up appointment if needed.

Free wax check appointments with video otoscopy mean you can be sure you’re only paying for the services you need.

As we are qualified to perform all methods of wax removal, we will listen to your needs and preferences and deliver a bespoke service.

What we do differently

We are fully independent; our goal is to help you by providing professional expertise and knowledge to help guide your ear care journey.

Our appointment structure allows plenty of time to get to know you, and we will work together to achieve the best outcome.

We want to improve the system by making professional ear care more accessible. We know the difficulties many people face when trying to access ear health care, that’s why we offer free ear checks and hearing screen appointments every day in our clinic sessions.

Our Audiology clinic room is designed to feel homely and welcoming. While we have all the necessary clinical equipment and infection control policies in place, we want you to feel comfortable when you visit us.

We aim to bring Darlington Ear Care services to the heart of your communities by organising pop-up clinics at local community centres where you can drop in for a cuppa and chat about hearing aids, ear health, and have a free wax check or hearing screen.
