A brand new, state-of-the-art Boots Hearingcare store has opened in Southside Shopping Centre in Wandsworth. The innovative store marks a major step forward in hearing care, and features an impressive high-tech immersion room and self-screening centre, designed to revolutionise the way people experience and understand hearing care.
In the new store’s immersion room, customers can trial a range of hearing aids in realistic, everyday environments such as a bustling restaurant or a lively concert. This hands-on experience helps individuals better understand how hearing aids perform in real-life situations, making it easier to find the right fit for their lifestyle.
Hearing loss remains one of the most under-recognised health issues in the UK, with an estimated 11 million people living with untreated hearing loss[ii], making it the second most common disability. Despite its prevalence, it often goes unnoticed or unspoken – until everyday moments begin to slip away.
This latest opening supports Boots Hearingcare’s ongoing mission to challenge outdated stigmas around hearing aids and highlight the transformative impact that modern hearing solutions can offer. From improved confidence and communication to reconnecting with the sounds of everyday life, the Wandsworth store is set to make a meaningful difference in the community.
Catherine Groves, Boots Hearingcare Senior Regional Sales Manager says: “At Boots Hearingcare, we believe better hearing changes lives. Our new World of Hearing store in Wandsworth is more than just a place to get hearing aids – it’s a space where customers can experience the very best in hearing care, supported by a passionate team who truly care. Unchecked hearing loss can gradually lead to social withdrawal, loneliness, and a loss of everyday connection. That’s why we’re committed to helping people take charge of their hearing health so they can stay engaged, confident, and connected to the people who matter most. We look forward to welcoming everyone in-store.”
