# Specsavers Audiologists - Kent - Shiva Medical Centre

Specsavers Audiologists operates a specialist hearing centre at Shiva Medical Centre on the Isle of Sheppey, providing professional audiology services to adults requiring hearing assessment and treatment. Located on The Broadway in Minster-on-Sea, the practice serves the local community with expert hearing care delivered by qualified audiologists, including Audiology Director Denise Sandford.

The centre specialises in comprehensive hearing evaluations where audiologists assess how well patients hear and determine whether hearing aids would be beneficial. Beyond testing, the practice offers a full range of audiology services including hearing aid fitting, adjustment, maintenance and replacement. This end-to-end approach ensures patients receive ongoing support throughout their hearing journey.

What distinguishes this practice is its accessibility and convenience. The ground-floor location with accessible facilities accommodates wheelchair users, whilst the adjacent bus stop provides easy public transport access. The dedicated focus on hearing health reflects the understanding that auditory wellness connects to broader health outcomes including cognition and memory.

The practice also offers hearing protection solutions, ranging from affordable instant-fit earplugs (from £12.95) to custom-moulded options, catering to those working in noisy environments or attending loud events. All services operate by appointment only, ensuring personalised attention and minimal wait times. With limited opening hours (Tuesdays only, 09:30-16:30), the centre operates an appointment-focused model prioritising quality consultations over walk-in availability.
