I had pain and muffled hearing for 6 months and booked online for the next week. Audiologist Kechi Oribabor offered a free ear examination and was so thorough. After the first check she fitted me in for further tests the same day. She examined me carefully with different equipment and explained that my hearing loss is sensorineural and appears permanent. I'm glad I found out early to prevent further damage. She even let me try a future hearing aid which erased my fear about wearing one. Very professional and kind. Highly recommend.

Kechi was very friendly and professional, explaining clearly what to expect- I had ear wax removal and custom ear molds for IEMs done. Highly recommend her services.

I met Kechi for the first time today after i called her about wax removal. Kechi suggested I come see her straight away as I may have needed urgent steroids, all dependent on the results of the wax removal. I was in her practice within 10 mins. Kechi was very empathic for my concern of losing hearing in my one remaining ear and she knew this wax removal session was a deciding factor on which way my life goes. I was so delighted that during the gentle and pain-free procedure, I gradually started to hear Kechi's voice. And the gratitude i felt when I was able to say "I can hear" was amazing. And to get my hearing back today, not next week or next month, she saw me today. I will be a regular client / patient now, and can sincerely recommend Kechi. Her service was amazing. Thank you. I am truly so grateful, you know I am x

It was easy to book with Sonant Hearing Clinic, with an appointment available at short notice and very reasonable pricing. I had a comprehensive Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) assessment, which helped confirm and provide clarity around a number of concerns I had. Kechi was professional, thorough and explained everything clearly throughout. A really positive experience. I’m looking forward to starting my APD therapy and feel very optimistic about the next steps.

Kechi is very thorough, professional & understanding. My personal experience .. I am 67 years of age; this was the first time I had been tested & fitted with hearing aids. I was very anxious but Kechi made me feel comfortable & took the time to explain everything with clarity and ease. The whole process was amazing. The after care faultless. She is someone very special. Thank you Kechi for all your help & support.
