Mr Nish Vasant

Special interest in invisible hearing aids

Nish Vasant

Having spent over 15 years in audiology working alongside ENT consultants and leading hearing aid manufacturers, Nish founded Fresh Hearing in 2013 with a clear aim - to offer truly independent, patient-first hearing care with no sales targets and no compromise on clinical standards.

Nish is registered with both BSHAA and the HCPC. He is known for being thorough, approachable and unhurried - taking the time to understand your lifestyle and daily listening needs before making any recommendation.

In independent practice, Nish believes continuity of care matters as much as clinical expertise. Every patient sees the same audiologist at every visit, with hearing reviews included as standard.
