Why See An Independent Audiologist?
Since opening my clinic in 2018, I’ve proudly stated that Barclay Winter Audiology is an independent audiology clinic. But what does that really mean? After being asked this question by members of the public, I realised how important it is to explain what sets independent audiology apart and why it matters to you.
Here are four key elements of an independent audiology clinic:
Being locally owned and operated. Barclay Winter Audiology is a family-owned business. My wife Elisha and I are the shareholders and directors. We live locally, work locally, and contribute to the local economy by keeping decisions and profits in the community.
Not Part of a Franchise or Corporate Chain. We are not part of a large audiology chain or corporate-owned clinic. That means no pressure from head office and no standardised sales targets.
No Ties to Hearing Aid Manufacturers. We are completely independent from hearing aid companies. This gives us the freedom to recommend a wide range of hearing aids based entirely on your individual needs.
Personalised Care Over Sales Pressure. As an independent clinic, we focus on care rather than sales. You will receive honest advice, more one-on-one time, and solutions tailored to your lifestyle and budget.
Locally owned and truly independent, Barclay Winter Audiology is here when you’re ready to take the next step in your hearing care.
