Vrey pleasant experience

I've been last month with my husband for "a little treat" ☺️ and I've been so much impressed by Ionela beauty advisor, she was so friendly and professional and helped me to had such a lovely experience. She was patient, and really understood what suited me best. Her recommendations were perfect, and I felt comfortable and confident throughout. Thank you for your kindness and expertise — I will definitely come back again!

Very happy with the service I received…

Very happy with the service I received from the audiologist (Rachel I think). Handled my hearing test very well. Was very informative and explained everything with clarity. Answered all my questions with good knowledge. Hearing aids not cheap but proving to be very worth it. No more blasting the TV with subtitles on! Understanding speech with much more clarity.

Expensive hearing aids,nothing special…

Expensive hearing aids,nothing special for the money and terrible after care.
Both my elderly parents have paid for these hearing aids,which have worked erratically since purchasing.
Hard to get review appointments and when you do these have been changed numerous times.
After making new appts to suit time off work etc to take them and waiting months for the appointment they are chopped and changed at will.
Rubbish service ,not fit for purpose.
I understand sickness happens but this is too often to be plausible.
Do not waste your time or money!!
Still waiting for someone to contact me,but I suppose once you buy they don’t care 6/11 14:11 pm

Rubbish Service

My mother’s hearing aid has gone off again and was sent away for repair. Still not back after two and a half weeks. The staff at metrocentre haven’t a clue when it will be back and couldn’t give us any information. The audiologist we deal with only works one day a week so you can only speak to her on a Monday. For such a huge organisation their customer care is terrible. When her hearing aid needs renewing we won’t be going back there.
Today, 26 Aug 25, I received a generic email from Boots which is an absolutely waste of time!

Overall good experience

Good clear explanation from Audiologist. He treated me with respect and empathy. No reception desk or means of "checking in"so not certain staff were aware I had arrived.

Hearing aid choice

Professional test with Laura who then spent time with myself and family members to discuss options with me. Demonstrated to family member the different in features and clarity of the different options available so they could help me make an informed choice. Very friendly and patient approach and no pressurised sales pitch. Top quality customer service. Very happy I chose to get support with my hearing loss from boots at the MetroCentre. Thank you.

Initially my consultation was fine

Initially my consultation was fine. However I felt a bit uncomfortable when being shown the options available for hearing aids. Audiologist kept saying how good their hearing was compared to mine. I agreed to purchase expensive aids but unfortunately due to a personal matter I was unable to go ahead with it.
My initial payment was quickly returned much to my relief and thanks.
