Interhearing - Advanced Hearing Services (Apley) in short

Interhearing – Advanced Hearing Services (Apley) is the hospital-ground arm of the Telford practice, working from the Princess Royal Hospital grounds with online booking and a pay-and-display car park beside it [1] [5]. Audiologist Sarkhab Azhar is the named clinician, with his HCPC registration number published in a professional directory [1] [2]. Wax removal carries the same fixed prices as the Madeley rooms.

Public reviews are the thin point: Google shows 5.0 from a single review on the Apley listing [3]. Interhearing suits anyone who prefers a hospital setting with a clinician they can look up. What counts against it is that lone rating plus unpublished aid prices, which sit behind the free two-week trial rather than on the page [4].

Our verdict

Our verdict: the Apley clinic suits Telford residents who want the same audiologist-led service as Madeley inside the hospital grounds [1] [2]. Public reviews are limited to a single Google rating, and hearing aid prices sit behind the free trial rather than on the page [3] [4].

Strengths

  • You book the Apley clinic online or on 0800 002 9503, inside the Princess Royal Hospital grounds with a pay-and-display car park [1] [5].

  • Wax removal costs £65 for both ears, reduced to £59 in the current offer, with an ear health check at £25 when no wax is found [1].

  • Audiologist Sarkhab Azhar is named on the Telford page, and a professional directory publishes his HCPC registration number HAD004502 [1] [2].

Limitations

  • The Google listing carries 5.0 from a single review, seen 4 September 2026, so there is almost no public customer evidence either way [3].

  • Hearing aid prices are not published; the site offers a free two-week trial and interest-free credit instead [4].

Questions about Interhearing - Advanced Hearing Services (Apley)

Is Interhearing Apley any good?

For hospital-setting wax removal, yes with a caveat: it pairs the table leader's named clinician and fixed prices with the Princess Royal grounds [1] [2]. Public evidence is a single Google rating, so you are trusting the published prices more than patient verdicts. Book online and confirm the hospital clinic location before travelling.

Is the Apley clinic HCPC registered?

Audiologist Sarkhab Azhar's HCPC registration number is published in a professional directory, and the Telford page names his audiology and professional credentials [1] [2]. That is a stated registration rather than a live register lookup. Ask the practice to confirm the current registration in writing before treatment.

What does the Apley clinic charge?

Wax removal costs £65 for both ears with a £59 offer price, an ear health check costs £25 where no wax is found, and children are priced at £85 [1]. Hearing-aid prices are not published; a free two-week trial and interest-free credit apply instead [4]. Ask for the full aid quote in writing before you agree.

Where is the Apley clinic?

On the Princess Royal Hospital grounds at Apley Castle, with a pay-and-display car park beside the clinic [1] [5]. It serves Telford alongside nearby towns in the stated area. Book online or on the national booking line, and allow extra time for hospital parking.

How is the Apley clinic ranked?

It ranks second of the five assessed hearing aid audiologists in our September round, as the hospital-based arm of the winning service. The gap to first is the thinner review base, so read the Madeley clinic's record beside it. Read the full review, then choose your clinic.
