“Lovely people who really care. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Have been using them for just under 20 years and have always had consistent reliable advice”

“Love to you both. I am writing to say how impressed I am with the skills, knowledge and the support from Ray Jones of IHS, who dispensed a new Starkey digital hearing aid and microphone to improve my ‘bicros’ hearing loss. Having just had another audiogram to assess the deterioration in my hearing and the adjustments to the hearing aid, the improvement in my hearing has stepped up to another level, thank you very much. I very much appreciate the level of customer care from both Ray and Marianne.

“Just a note to say thank you for your excellent aftercare with the hearing aids for Ann and myself.  It is very reassuring to know that you are only a phone call away if we need your help or advice.  When we first came to you we were impressed with your friendly and professional advice but your continued support is ’the icing on the cake’. We are so grateful.”

“Just a brief update. The hearing aids are really excellent. I “tried” them out down town today and the quality of hearing (intelligent conversation) in a background of music and noise, was great. They work well with TV, and with both landline and mobile phones”.

“With more than 30 years experience in audiology, Marianne and Ray skilfully encompass the technicalities with human requirements. They are certainly true professionals in the field. They are unstinting with their time, compassion, advice and guidance regarding suitable equipment and produce the very finest instrument tuning. Throughout they demonstrate their full awareness of how important it is to achieve the very best in hearing ability, one of the major controlling factors to overall good health. I owe them a great debt of gratitude for enabling me to develop my life again.”

“Dear Mr & Mrs Jones, ‘Many thanks for reconditioning my Mother’s hearing aid, and for the incredible patience and understanding beyond the call of duty. It is much appreciated, believe me.”

“I am writing to say how pleased I am with the digital hearing aids that you supplied to me some years ago. They are so easy to use, require no adjustments, and it is easy to forget that they are in my ears”

J.P, Ferndown

“We have found Ray and Marianne to be extremely competent and professional dispensers. They offer a friendly, relaxed service, which is greatly needed by any person suffering from hearing loss. I have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who needs to improve their hearing.”

“I have been a well and satisfied customer for many years and feel that I have found a friend in both Ray and Marianne.’ Thank you again”

“A Wife’s ‘Ear View’ ‘When enjoying quiet conversation, music or bird song, it is easy to forget how it used to be. Loud voices, noisy television and frequent misunderstandings meant gradual loss of companionship. The digital hearing aids are the best things Tim has ever bought – for all of us. They have transformed his life. Thank you Ray and Marianne. You have taught us that it is possible to teach an old dog new tricks.”

G.D, Ferndown

“Dear Ray and Marianne, I would just like to say how pleased I am with my digital hearing aids. Having persevered with NHS ones for a couple of years it was such a relief to find someone who would give me helpful and honest advice on what is available on the market and what would suit me best. You have always been very understanding and helpful, and I cannot recommend your services highly enough.”

S.R, Wimborne

“I bought my Phonak Hearing Aids from Ray and Marianne and they have both ensured that I am happy and comfortable with the hearing aids and that I get the maximum benefit from the hearing aids. One phone call or e-mail in an instant reply of discussion over the phone, or an appointment, or items in the post. Excellent product backed by excellent service. It will be a long time before I move from Ray and Marianne. (Independent Hearing Services).”

K.E, Portsmouth

“Dear Mr and Mrs Jones, I am writing to express my thanks to you for your most caring professional and expert help in resolving my hearing difficulties. Until I made contact with you I had been using another brand of hearing aids which had been recommended to me by another Audiologist in the local area. I had numerous problems with the aids over several years and was becoming rather despondent. I began looking for a truly independent Audiologist in my area and I found your website and details on the internet. Really, the rest is history. Thanks to you and the hearing aid you suggested I try, the quality of my hearing has improved so much so that I can hear just about everything that is going on around me – and not just that – I can focus in on any one person in a group and hear them above the others. It is also wonderful to be able to clearly hear the sea and the birds at the same time as I am taking an active part in conversation. Infact I can now hear sounds that I had forgotten about and the quality of my everyday life has improved significantly. I have no reservations whatsoever in recommending you to anyone who is considering purchasing a hearing aid. My regret is that I did not know of you all those years back when I first found that I had reached the limits of what an NHS aid could provide and I needed to purchase a hearing aid privately.”

“Dear Mr and Mrs Jones, Deafness is a handicap. I began having hearing difficulties some 36 years ago as a result of service in the army, and as I have grown older, my level of deafness has become steadily worse. Over these many years I have seen many audiologists on both sides of the Atlantic — some good, some not so good, but I consider myself extremely fortunate to have found Independent Hearing Services (IHS), owned and operated by Mr S.R.Jones and Mrs B.M.Jones, both of whom are fully qualified hearing aid audiologists. Mr and Mrs Jones are, without question, the most knowledgeable, most efficient and perhaps, most importantly, the most caring and concerned professionals in their field that I have come across. As a result of their unstinting attention to my handicap and the solutions that they have provided to overcome it, I now feel almost that I do not have a handicap any longer. Before I was introduced to them in April 2012, I thought that I would have to retire from work and give up many of the activities in which I was involved and enjoyed. This is no longer the case, and as a result of their good advice and care, I can now do everything that I want to do without worrying about my deafness. Mr and Mrs Jones of IHS have turned the clock back for me, and I am very grateful.”

“Dear Mr and Mrs Jones, I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for the wonderful, caring and professional service I have received from both of you recently. I had persevered with my NHS hearing aids for 4 long and lonely years. Since coming to you my life is now completely changed. I hear conversations and the television more clearly and can now, for the first time in 4 years, talk to people on the telephone. Already after just a week of using my new hearing aids, my confidence has improved. I don’t have to rely on my husband to make calls on my behalf. This has been a life changing experience for both my husband and myself. My only regret is that I didn’t come to see you earlier.”

R.B, Ferndown

“Hi Ray, I would like to put on record my strong appreciation for your service & the equipment you provided for me. You took great pains to ensure that I had the right aids & I am delighted with the huge improvement they have made to my hearing. Without them I hear everything as a muffled rumble which I often cannot understand. With them the world comes to life & I hear sounds that otherwise I don’t even know are there. Your continuing attention as the years go by is very reassuring & I would strongly recommend my friends & others to seek your help if their hearing deteriorates.”
