Who We Are – Meet the Family Behind Wigan Hearing

At Wigan Hearing, we’re more than just a clinic – we’re a local, family-run business based in the heart of Standish, just outside Wigan. When you step through our doors, you’re not entering a corporate chain or dealing with someone who’s done a weekend course. You’re meeting qualified, insured audiologists who genuinely care about your hearing health.

 

Meet Darren Glancey, our lead audiologist and one of the most qualified professionals in the region. Darren holds a Foundation Degree in Hearing Aid Audiology (FdSc) and a Bachelor of Science with Honours (BSc Hons) in Audiology. He is a Board Director and Fellow of the British Society of Hearing Aid Audiologists (BSHAA), a respected member of the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), and also a member of the Association of Independent Hearing Healthcare Professionals (AIHHP). With over 10 years of hands-on experience, Darren is passionate about raising standards in hearing care and is deeply committed to patient-centred practice. When you choose Wigan Hearing, you’re not just getting a hearing test – you’re getting the expertise, integrity and care of a true specialist.

 

We specialise in ear wax removal and hearing aids, offering a warm, personal service tailored to every individual. Whether you’re popping in for quick and gentle microsuction wax removal or exploring the latest in digital hearing aid technology, you can rest assured you’ll be treated like one of the family.

 

A Family Business You Can Trust

 

Wigan Hearing is run by us – the Glancey family. We live here in Standish, we raise our kids here, and we’re passionate about helping our community hear better. Michelle and Darren Glancey, along with our small but dedicated team, have built Wigan Hearing from the ground up, with a simple goal: to provide outstanding ear and hearing care that you can rely on.

 

Our children – Ethan, Erin and Edward – are growing up watching what it means to run a business with heart, honesty and professionalism. From supporting us at events to folding leaflets and giving us honest feedback (as only kids can!), they’re part of the story too.

 

What Makes Us Different?

 

We’re proud to offer services you won’t find at many high street clinics:

 

·         Advanced ear wax removal using the safest techniques (including microsuction and irrigation)

·         3D ear scanning – no more messy impressions!

·         Tympanometry, OAE testing, and speech audiometry at no extra cost

·         Real Ear Measurements (REM) for truly personalised hearing aid fittings

·         A calm, relaxed environment with plenty of time for every patient

 

We don’t rush you, and we never push unnecessary products. Our advice is based on years of clinical training and real-world experience – not sales targets.
