Our Story

Founded in 2012 by Trish Humphrys, Local Hearing Aid Specialists was born from a passion to provide high-quality, client-focused hearing care to the Newcastle community.

After working in the hearing industry for over two decades, Trish saw that people wanted genuine support, not quick sales. She opened the clinic with a clear goal: to offer tailored hearing solutions in a warm and welcoming environment. That vision still drives our team today.

We are proud to support local groups including Rotary Men’s Shed, the Wallsend TPI Veterans Association, and the Wallsend Business Association. Supporting our community is at the heart of what we do.
