Meet Your Audiologist
I’m Darren Glancey, founder and lead audiologist at Wigan Hearing.
I opened the clinic in 2018 to provide the kind of hearing care I believe people deserve: thorough testing, straightforward explanations and long-term support from someone they know.
I’m a BSc (Hons) qualified audiologist and HCPC-registered Hearing Aid Dispenser, a Fellow of BSHAA and a member of AIHHP.
Before establishing Wigan Hearing, I worked in technical and professional-support roles for leading hearing-aid manufacturers, including Phonak and Unitron. That experience gave me an in-depth understanding of hearing-aid technology, troubleshooting and the difference that careful programming can make.
Today, Michelle and I run Wigan Hearing as a local family business. We live in Standish and are proud to look after people from our own community and the wider Wigan area.
More Than a Quick Hearing Check
Accurate results are the starting point for good hearing care.
Depending on your needs, your assessment may include video otoscopy, air and bone-conduction testing, speech testing, tympanometry and other diagnostic measurements. When hearing aids are fitted, we use real-ear measurements to check that they are providing the correct level of amplification for your individual hearing loss.
We also provide tinnitus assessments and support, 3D ear scanning, custom noise protection, swim plugs and specialist ear products.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral?
No. You can contact Wigan Hearing directly to arrange a hearing test, hearing-aid consultation or ear wax appointment.
Which hearing-aid brands do you offer?
We work with all major manufacturers. Being independent allows us to compare different products and recommend technology based on your needs rather than being restricted to one brand.
Do you provide ear wax removal?
Yes. We provide microsuction, irrigation and manual ear wax removal. The method used will depend on your ear health and the type and position of the wax.
Do you see children?
We offer ear wax assessment and removal for children aged five and over where clinically appropriate. We do not provide children’s hearing tests. Please contact us before booking a child’s appointment.
