Midland Hearing Care: Exceptional Audiological Care and Bespoke Hearing Solutions
Established in January 2019 as a diagnostic audiology clinic in Longford town, Midland Hearing Care has grown to become one of the most important diagnostic audiological services in the Midlands. Originally based in a room at Longford Medical Park GP surgery, the business relocated to 1 Church Street in September 2020.
The high standard of patient focused service over the last five years has allowed Midland Hearing Care to establish a brand and reputation in the community of Longford, with referrals from local and regional GPs and ear, nose and throat consultants.
Midland Hearing Care is headed up by Jenevieve Butler, a dual qualified Speech Language Therapist and Clinical Audiologist.
Her areas of interest include diagnostic audiology assessments for children (age 4+) and adults, hearing aid rehabilitation and FM assistive listening technologies, hearing aid verifications (REMS), tinnitus intervention and management, custom ear protection, microsuction wax removal and vestibular balance disorders.
Practice manager Claire Coy joined Midland Hearing Care in December 2020 and comes from a strong customer service background. Claire works closely with the clinical audiologists to deliver patient focused care.
When contacting the clinic, Claire will ask a few questions to help in the most appropriate way. Claire can assist with a range of issues including scheduling appointments, hearing aid trouble-shooting and mini repairs, following up on requests, providing receipts and does invaluable general administration and technical work.
We are a community focused service and are keeping busy because of positive word of mouth through the community of Longford and surrounding counties. Patients will refer other family members; people even tell their neighbours about our services and because of that, we get a lot of repeat business.
We have invested in the latest diagnostic audiology, hearing aid fitting and microsuction wax removal equipment.
We value patient feedback on service provision and have recruited a highly skilled additional clinical audiologist. As a result, we are now able to offer more appointment to our patients in a shorter timeframe.
Megan Stirk, clinical audiologist, is another key team member. Originally from South Africa, she obtained her degree in Speech Therapy and Audiology in 2014 and has been gathering clinical experience in both public and private practice ever since.
Megan’s areas of special interest are micro-suction and irrigation wax removal, diagnostic audiology assessments for children (age 4+) and adults, hearing aid rehabilitation, hearing aid fittings, tinnitus intervention and management, custom ear protection solutions and selection of compatible hearing aid accessories and FM systems.
Over the summer, our website was updated to include a video tour of our clinic, patient video testimonials and additional audiology and hearing aid care consumables are now available to order on our e-store.

Patient testimonials – this is what some of our patients are saying about our services
‘‘All very good. Great communication. Good pre-explanation – couldn’t hear the radio in Reception before – I did afterwards!’’ – Mary Griffiths – Microsuction wax removal.
‘Excellent service and support from start to finish from both Jenevieve and Claire. Delighted with my Phonak hearing aids, as this was a complex case, requiring two totally stand-alone devices, as each ear had different requirements, they have made a huge difference in my life, both in work and in the home. Thank you for your dedication to solving my hearing issues and improving my quality of life.’ Caroline – Hearing Aid Patient.
Brought my little girl (5) over for a hearing test today. Her older brother (7) was with me also . I didn’t think customer care like this existed any more and it was a breath of fresh air to meet the three ladies working there today… they went above and beyond to show their kindness to me and the kids. My daughter came out saying “that was fun!”. They explained all the tests as they were happening and were so efficient and professional. Please support this great service in the midlands! Eimear -Bonny Bó Milk – Children’s hearing assessment.
5-star service. Without a shadow of a doubt one of the best clinics we’ve ever had the pleasure of visiting, we were greeted by the lovely and helpful Claire and then met with Jenevieve and Megan, both Jen and Megan went above and beyond in what they do best, it’s refreshing to see people who take pride in their profession. Franco – Children’s hearing assessment.

They fit really well, are very comfortable to wear and the material they are made of makes them easy to grip, so putting them in and taking them out is quick and simple. The case they came in is also great for travelling, keeping them safe and clean.
