Our Approach

Your Hearing Care Expert

Mr Nish Vasant

After 10 years in the hearing care industry, I felt it was the right time to found my own hearing care practice. Fresh Hearing was set up to provide a different approach to hearing care; we know that after-care is just as important as visits to any of our four clinics. We can offer our patients the very latest treatments in the comfortable surroundings they would expect from a family run business. We pride ourselves on being approachable and transparent, so don’t hesitate to get in touch. We hope to see you soon!

Consultant ENT surgeon

I qualified as a doctor in 2000 from Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospitals medical school in London. Following additional training at Johns Hopkins Medical School in the USA, I have returned to the North West to pursue my clinical interests, focussed around ear, nose and throat. I look forward to helping you as a part of the Fresh Hearing family.
