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 What counts against it is that lone rating plus unpublished aid prices, which sit behind the free two-week trial rather than on the page [4].
The working offer mirrors the Madeley rooms: wax removal and hearing assessments with the same fixed prices, booked online or on the national line [1] [5]. The hospital grounds bring a pay-and-display car park beside the clinic, which suits drivers. Children carry their own published price on the same page [1]. The stated area matches the parent service, covering Telford with the surrounding towns.
Public customer evidence is almost non-existent: Google shows full marks from a single review on the Apley listing [3]. Our read is that one verdict says nothing either way, so the published prices and the named clinician carry the decision until more patients report back.
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].

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. Keep the reply with your appointment confirmation.
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. The clinic sits on the hospital grounds rather than the high street.
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. The Madeley record beside it shows what deeper evidence looks like.
What do patient reviews say about the Apley clinic?
Almost nothing yet: the Apley listing holds a single top-mark Google review, so there is no patient verdict to lean on [3]. The parent service's Madeley listing holds a far deeper record, but that covers a different clinic. Treat the published prices and the named clinician as the evidence until Apley patients report back.
How do I get a quote from the Apley clinic?
Book online or on the national booking line and raise aids at the appointment [5]. Wax-removal prices are fixed on the page, while hearing-aid prices sit behind the free trial, so the written quote does the work: have it split the aids, fitting, aftercare and batteries before agreeing. Interest-free credit is available, so have its terms set beside the cash price [4].
