I was listened to, hearing properly tested, and advised on appropriate hearing aids. Order placed, arrived in one week, fitted. Then left to test basic settings. Appointment for two weeks time, to finalise set up, and explain operation. 28th Aug 2026 Returned for final check and set up. All questions answered to my understanding. Left feeling confident in using devices and app. Thank you Kiran. 10th November 2026. Returned to check calibration, and add volume control to hearing aids (so don't need to unlock phone each time). Can now control volume, mode, and on/off directly on hearing aids. Also got useful advice on pairing and unpairing. Thank you Kiran for another relaxed session, and for your kind patience.

Response from the owner:We truly appreciate your support and positive feedback, thank you for taking the time to share it.

I was apprehensive about getting my new aids fitted.. but on my visit to Scrivens in Exeter… I was greeted by friendly receptionists and Keran was so patient with me…. He explained things and answered any concerns I had about the aids. His manner and patience helped me to relax and put my mind at ease. I can highly recommend him and the company with regards to the fitting of hearing aids.

Kiran Pillai was the ideal audiologist. He was methodical, patient, attentive and accurate. He coped well with an IT malfunction and the hearing aids he dispensed seem to work well. He has encouraged me to book an appointment with him if I need any help, which was caring and personal.

My partner Lloyd Brimblecombe and myself visited Scrivens on 24 th of October. We were met by Kiran Pillaj who was absolutely brilliant. He was very patient with Lloyd and extremely helpful in assisting Lloyd with some new hearing aids. He explained the depth of deterioration in Lloyd’s ears. A very pleasant experience.

I walked into centre was treated well but when was seen was told that they can’t repair NHS aids, they gave me new ones but had them for an hour and they started to hurt and uncomfortable. I also found out that when you get seen by a test centre you have to stay with them for three years before you can go somewhere else, I wasn’t informed about this matter. Went back a second time was told they can’t help me or won’t help, I got my NHS aids working, lot more comfortable and work well, but they have stopped working and now back to there ones, not comfortable and hurt.
