Meet the Family Behind Tide Hearing
Independent hearing care built on expertise, compassion, and a genuine passion for helping you stay connected to the sounds that matter most.
Hearing Care with Heart
Welcome to Tide Hearing, an independent hearing care service with one clear purpose: to put people at the centre of everything we do. We believe hearing care should never feel rushed or impersonal. Every consultation is an opportunity to truly understand your needs and find the right path forward together.
Choosing where to go for hearing care is an important decision. That's why we've built Tide Hearing from the ground up as a service you can feel confident in from your very first appointment.
The Team
A family-run practice bringing expertise and genuine care to every appointment
Tom Silver
Founder & Audiologist
Tom is a highly experienced audiologist with a deep commitment to providing exceptional hearing care. After years working in the industry, he founded Tide Hearing with a vision to offer something different: truly personalised care in a supportive, welcoming environment where patients always come first.
Vicky Silver
Patient Care & Director
Vicky manages patient care and the administrative side of Tide Hearing. Her warm, organised approach ensures every patient feels welcomed and supported from the moment they get in touch. Together with Tom, she brings compassion and dedication to creating the best possible experience for everyone who walks through our doors.
Family at the Heart
At Tide Hearing, family isn't just a word. It's at the core of who we are. Our daughter Esme is a daily reminder of why hearing life's little moments truly matters: the laughter, the whispered stories, the everyday sounds that weave our lives together.
And then there's our chocolate Labrador, who keeps us active, grounded, and never short of entertainment. Together, our family keeps us focused on what hearing care is really about: staying connected to the sounds and people we love most.
This is why we approach every patient as we would our own family: with patience, understanding, and genuine care for your wellbeing.
Our Approach
The principles that guide everything we do
Transparency
Clear pricing with no hidden costs. You'll always know exactly what to expect before any treatment or fitting.
Patient-Centred Care
We listen first, then guide you through your options. Your needs and preferences shape every recommendation we make.
Trust
We're not here to sell hearing aids. We're here to support you on your hearing journey, wherever that leads.
Independence
As an independent practice, we're free to recommend solutions from any manufacturer based solely on what's right for you.
Personal Service
Every appointment is tailored to you. No rushed consultations, no one-size-fits-all approach.
Ongoing Support
Your hearing journey doesn't end at the fitting. We're here for the long term with continued care and guidance.
Your Hearing Journey
Like the tide, your hearing journey will have natural ebbs and flows. Some days will feel easier than others, and your needs may change over time. That's completely normal.
What matters is having someone alongside you who understands. Whether it's your first hearing assessment, guidance on the latest technology, or ongoing support with your hearing aids, we'll be here every step of the way, helping you stay connected to the people and moments that matter most.
