Audiologist in Littlehampton
Tim Davies is a Hearing Aid Audiologist with more than ten years’ experience across high-street clinics, the NHS and the hearing aid manufacturing sector. He qualified with Distinction from Aston University in 2016.
His career began as a Hearing Care Assistant while he completed his degree. He then spent several years with a leading manufacturer, supporting clinicians in both NHS and private settings and mentoring colleagues. He later founded South Coast Hearing to offer independent, unhurried care — thorough assessment, clear advice and ongoing support without being tied to a single brand.
Tim’s focus is practical: helping people hear more comfortably in the situations that matter to them, and involving them in every recommendation. No two patients need the same approach, so appointments are unhurried and the plan is built around lifestyle, not a standard package.
At Littlehampton Natural Health Centre, he offers comprehensive hearing assessments, ear wax removal, hearing aid advice and fitting, and aftercare. If you want independent, experienced hearing care in Littlehampton, Tim is a good person to see.
Hearing Services Offered By Tim
Comprehensive Hearing Assessments
Appointments start with a proper conversation about your hearing history, how listening feels day-to-day, and what you want to improve. Tim then examines the ears with otoscopy and video otoscopy so you can see what he sees. Hearing is measured with pure tone audiometry, plus speech testing that includes QuickSIN (speech in noise) and AB word lists. Results are explained in plain language, with realistic next steps rather than a rushed recommendation.
Who this may help: anyone noticing muffled speech, difficulty in groups or restaurants, turning the TV up, or tinnitus; people due a first proper hearing test; existing hearing aid users who feel their current aids are no longer keeping up; and anyone who wants a clear baseline before deciding on treatment.
Ear Wax Removal
After examining the ears, Tim chooses the safest method for that patient: microsuction, irrigation or manual removal. The aim is a clear view of the ear canal and eardrum, and relief from blockage, without using a one-size-fits-all technique.
Who this may help: people with a blocked or full feeling, reduced hearing after water or hearing aid use, discomfort, or visible wax; hearing aid users whose aids whistle or sound dull because of wax; and patients who need the canal cleared before a reliable hearing test.
Hearing Aid Advice and Fitting
If hearing technology is appropriate, recommendations are based on your audiogram, lifestyle, and preferences — including custom devices where they are the better option. Fitting includes programming, real-world guidance on use and care, and time to ask questions so you leave knowing how to live with the aids, not just wear them.
Who this may help: people with a confirmed hearing loss who want independent advice rather than a single-brand pitch; first-time users who need a calm explanation of options; existing users considering an upgrade, a more discreet aid, or a better fit for work, conversation or music.
Hearing aid aftercare and support
Ongoing care covers servicing, repairs, fine-tuning, and routine maintenance. Hearing and listening needs change; aftercare is there so devices stay comfortable and useful rather than being fitted once and left. You don't have to have purchased your hearing aids from Tim for him to be able to offer maintenance, repairs, servicing, or help with fitment or tuning; Tim is happy to look at all makes and models. He will tell you if he is unable to help, but will be able to make recommendations for your situation.
Who this may help: anyone already wearing hearing aids who needs retuning, a repair, new domes or wax filters, help with whistling or discomfort, or a review because life, hearing, or the aids have changed.
Custom earplugs and hearing protection
Tim takes ear impressions and advises on protection matched to the use: sleep, swimming, or noisy environments. The point is a comfortable, well-fitting product that you will actually wear.
Who this may help: swimmers and people prone to water in the ears; light sleepers or partners disturbed by snoring; musicians, DIY and industrial workers, motorcyclists, and anyone who needs reliable noise protection without generic one-size plugs.
Medical referral
If examination or audiometry meets BSA referral criteria, Tim will arrange the appropriate referral rather than continuing with hearing aids or wax removal alone. Hearing care here includes knowing when something needs a GP or ENT opinion.
Who this may help: patients with sudden or one-sided hearing change, persistent pain or discharge, unusual otoscopy findings, or audiogram patterns that should be reviewed medically before (or instead of) hearing aid fitting.

Tim Davies has been a blessing to my husband. His manner is friendly and very professional; he is quick to understand how he can best support his clients' needs, and he provides outstanding aftercare to ensure clients benefit to the full. We couldn't recommend him more highly.D Holt
Tim fitted me in last minute for ear micro-suction and provided a great service. Very professional and helpful. Would definitely use again.J Bassett
My elderly grandfather was struggling to get an appointment with his GP for ear wax removal - something he desperately needed as a hearing aid user. Tim (the audiologist) provided a time that suited him and provided excellent service. He explained everything he was going to do and made my grandfather feel very comfortable. The removal itself took only a few minutes and was expertly carried out. Tim is highly professional and respectful, we won’t go anywhere else for ear care now. Thank you so much!L Jenkins
My husband’s has just received an excellent service from Tim a first class Audiologist from South Coast Hearing and later that evening , notes were received as to how special care should be given to the ears for the next few days to help the healing. WONDERFUL, Angela.A Runacres
Tim was fantastic. I suffer quite badly with anxiety and I knew I needed to get it done. Tim really eased this and went at a pace suited for me. You don’t realise how much you needed it done till it’s done. The best part was I felt totally relaxed. Definitely recommend Tim.J Willock
The audiologist was friendly, professional, and explained everything clearly. The procedure was thorough , completely painless, and I could hear so much better straight away.
