BestHear: Where Your Hearing Journey Begins
Rediscover the Sounds of Life with Armaj Ali, the Audiologist Who Revolutionised Hearing Aid Fitting
At BestHear, we believe the gift of hearing deserves exceptional care. That’s why we’re led by Armaj Ali, a renowned audiologist whose passion for helping people hear transcended limitations to develop a revolutionary hearing aid fitting method.
From Aspiring Clinician to Audiology Trailblazer
Armaj’s journey began with academic excellence, as he graduated with honors in Hearing and Balance Studies from the University of Bristol. Driven by a desire to make a difference, he honed his skills across various NHS adult and pediatric audiology positions. His early experiences shaped him into a compassionate and adaptable clinician adept at handling complex cases.

A Calling to Ireland and the Birth of Innovative Techniques
Armaj’s dedication to his craft led him to a unique opportunity – joining the first-ever newborn hearing screening program in Cork City, Ireland. Here, he encountered a diverse range of patients, including children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This experience not only expanded his knowledge but also sparked a passion for developing strategies to address specific needs.
Mastering the Field and Pushing Boundaries
Never content with the status quo, Armaj furthered his education with a Master’s degree in Advanced Clinical Audiology. His dissertation project led to the creation of the “Hearing Test Story” – an innovative tool designed to test children with ASD. This pioneering work cemented his reputation as a skilled pediatric audiologist.

From London to Medina: Building Expertise and Encountering a Challenge
Armaj’s dedication to his craft led him to diverse roles across London’s NHS hospitals, where he worked with both adult and pediatric patients. He even honed his skills with the prestigious Cochlear Implant Team at Great Ormond Street Hospital. In 2015, he embarked on a new adventure – establishing comprehensive audiology services for a newly built National Guard hospital in Medina.

The Spark of Genius: Necessity Breeds Innovation
While setting up the hearing aid service, Armaj faced a critical obstacle – the hospital lacked a Real Ear Measurement (REM) machine, an essential tool for calibrating digital hearing aids. Refusing to let this limitation hinder his patients, Armaj devised a unique solution.
He developed a system based on meticulous subjective sound checks, relying on patient feedback to optimize hearing aid performance. Despite initial concerns about accuracy without an REM, Armaj observed consistently positive outcomes.

A Return Home and the HEAREKA Moment
His family beckoned Armaj back to the UK in 2019. Now with access to an REM machine again, he combined his subjective method with the scientific precision of REM data. The results were astonishing. Patients consistently reported exceptional hearing experiences, surpassing outcomes achieved through traditional methods.
Excited by this breakthrough, Armaj streamlined his process into a focused 1.5-hour appointment, guaranteeing optimal results. He christened this revolutionary method the HEAREKA MOMENT.
BestHear: Where Innovation Meets Personalised Care
Today, Armaj brings the HEAREKA MOMENT to the private sector with BestHear. We are dedicated to providing comprehensive hearing care, ensuring every patient rediscovers the joy of clear, natural hearing.

Came here for my first ever wax removal treatment following recommendation from my GP. To my amazement I was able to book a slot that suited me on the same day of treatment!

21/11/24 — editing my review to add that I went back to BestHear today and had another fantastic experience. Dr Armaj Ali took another look at my ears and removed the remainder of the ear wax that was causing issues which has relieved the problems I had and has also helped with the stress and anxiety I felt regarding my ear health. He also conducted two types of hearing tests to ensure my hearing was as it should be and recommended what I can do moving forward to improve any dryness in my ears and to prevent the same thing happening again. I left feeling physically and mentally better and am really happy with the results! Dr Armaj Ali also did this free of charge for me following the previous appointment!
Overall, an excellent service, friendly staff that go above and beyond for you, a lovely atmosphere and brilliant results! There is also free parking on site :)
Thank you so much!
I can’t recommend the service at BestHear highly enough; the most thorough clinical appointment I have ever received for any medical condition in my entire life!
If all medical care was this good, the nation would be in better health! 👏
At BestHear, my mums hearing was examined thoroughly and diagnosed with what had been causing her issues throughout the years but previous visits to the GP etc never resulted in any substantial improvements.
This diagnosis at BestHear resulted in her being provided by a different hearing aid, which improved her hearing substantially. The difference was like night and day, and my mum can hear better now and is much more comfortable and satisfied than she has been the last 5-6 years with her hearing now.
This is due to the expertise & knowledge provided at BestHear and how thorough they were in what they do. Their 'Heareka' is literally life changing as I have seen the noticeable difference in how my mum is now able to hear us without us asking to repeat ourselves.
Besthear makes things understandable and comforting when explaining what they are doing and why, which is always reassuring.
They have recently seen my dad, who they also diagnosed with an issue which he has visited the doctors for as well now.
I am grateful & appreciate everything that has been done at BestHear and can't recommend them enough, you won't regret it & it will be life changing for you as well.
They are an expert at what they do, have the knowledge to explain it to you & always make the whole process comforting and convenient for you.
Thank you.
I have no hesitation in recommending BestHear to anyone requiring quality of supply and service.
Large number of people that I know who attended the clinic:
It is a top level clinic at all levels. Very professional and well equipped with modern instruments that helps to examine and treat patients after a careful discussion of the client's history. I strongly recommend the clinic and staff.

My mother was struggling with hearing loss and increasing isolation. The very thorough testing of her hearing revealed significant loss. The hearing aids we chose are wonderfully discreet and my mother finds them very comfortable to wear. The aids have literally transformed her ! She is much more engaged, much happier in herself and can hear a pin drop !!
Armaj who carried out the testing is fantastic with Mum and strove to get the aids exactly right, taking considerable time and showing great professionalism. The after care has been excellent.
I am very happy we found BestHear to assist my mother. The process has been transformative and I have no hesitation in recommending them.
I was offered a free hearing test that identified a perforated drum and some hearing deficit. I left with information for consideration about future options. There was no pressure to proceed at that stage.
I would have no reservations in recommending BestHear and Amarj Ali to anyone needing ear wax removal and will return without hesitation. Hearing deficit due to impacted wax had affected many aspects of my everyday living and communication but since removal this has changed for the better.
