Our story… so far

Mike Stanley, a company owner, wanted to provide Oakham and Stamford clients with a first rate, independent hearing healthy care service balanced with his family life.

After decades of working in the local area Mike had built up a very good reputation and it didn’t take long for quite a number of his past clients to search him out. Soon enough things got so busy with recommendations and looking after clients that Healthy Hearing opened its, and Stamford’s, first dedicated hearing centre in the April of 2003.

Mike got so busy within a few months of the Stamford Hearing Centre opening that he knew he needed help and this led to the recruitment of Phil Barker who remains a key member of Healthy Hearing today.

There were no plans to increase the size of the company but in 2011 the sudden passing away of one of Mike’s old business friends ultimately led to the acquisition of Digitone Hearing in Dorset. So, in 2012 the rebuild of Digitone began. Relocation of one hearing centre and the redevelopment of the other led to Digitone accounting for 50% of Healthy Hearing and some great new dispensers and staff… especially Alyson Owen who’s still a tremendous asset to Healthy Hearing.

With the introduction of the latest Lyric hearing solution Mike opened what was now the 5th dedicated hearing centre in Loughborough which has gone from strength to strength. In 2018 our Stamford Hearing Centre relocated to its new location right in the heart of Stamford in Red Lion Square. Loughborough relocated to a lovely new location on Market Street.

One of the ambitions of Healthy Hearing was to open a new hearing centre in Christchurch. Decisions were taken and our New Milton Hearing Centre was planned to close and then reopen in Christchurch but disaster happened… COVID-19. Just as we left New Milton we couldn’t have known what was to come. However, after lock-down No1. we managed to push through the acquisition of a new site in Christchurch. The new Christchurch Hearing Centre is now open and very, very busy. Front of house is Jess, and with decades of dispensing experience from Carly Kennedy and Graham Baines.

The purpose built soundproof room ensures the accuracy of our testing. Along with the most modern video otoscopes and wax removal systems ensuring you of the very best our industry has to offer.

We’re proud to say that we operate Healthy Hearing today with the values we’ve always treasured… delivering the best quality hearing care and being friendly and happy along that journey.
