Our Chichester Hearing Care Centre is situated in the heart of the city, just off East Street, making it easy to access for our patients. Our Chichester hearing clinic is usually very busy serving the local population with a range of hearing care services to help combat hearing loss.
The Chichester hearing centre has progressed from a small room at an opticians for two days a week to a busy standalone centre open five days a week, serving the local population in West Sussex.

Where to find the Chichester Hearing Care Centre
Our street address is: 6 Baffins Court, Baffins Lane, Chichester, PO19 1UA.
Chichester is a lovely, historic town with a cathedral, affording it the only city status in West Sussex. It has a long history as a settlement from Roman times and is the seat of the Church of England Diocese of Chichester, with a 12th-century cathedral.
By car
Conveniently, the hearing centre is placed right next to the Baffins Lane Car Park. For those using a SatNav, the postcode for the car park is PO19 1TZ. This is quite a small car park so if it is full, you can also park at the Cattle Market Car Park (PO19 1JW).
From there, take the short walk along St John’s Street, down New Town road towards the Henry Adams Estate Agents/Auction House and we are just round the corner from there in the courtyard. Alternatively, head for the Boston Tea Party restaurant in Baffins Lane and you can see us opposite from their entrance.
By bus
If you are travelling by bus, get off near the Cattle Market Car Park. The 700 Coastliner for Stop N, the 25, 51 Gold or 56 service is for Stop L and the 21, 51 Gold or 55 service on the other side of the road is for stop M.
Accessibility
All our locations have ramps where necessary and widened doors for wheelchair access. Assistance is always offered amongst members of staff for mobility impaired patients and we have adjustable height chairs to make it easier to sit down and get out of chairs. Our audiologists will wear clear face shields to enable lip reading, whilst mask wearing is still advised by our professional bodies.
Our Audiologists
Rob Davies
Our senior audiologist, Rob Davies, consults from South East Hearing Care Centres in Horsham. Robert qualified over 35 years ago and is highly-experienced. He has been ‘Highly Commended’ in the ‘Audiologist of the Year’ Awards for the high levels of professionalism, care and commitment shown to his patients.
It is a measure of his standing that he has served as Chairman of the prestigious Association of Independent Hearing Healthcare Professionals (AIHHP), which promotes the highest professional and ethical standards in the independent hearing healthcare sector.
Our Horsham clinic has the distinction of being one of just 60 hearing care centres in the whole of the United kingdom and Ireland to be officially approved and certified by leading manufacturer Phonak as a Lyric fitting Centre. It is fully equipped to Phonak’s high standards and Robert has completed the rigorous training to permit him to assess clients and fit Lyric, the invisible hearing aid that sits inside the ear canal and stays there, day and night, for up to three months.
Robert is always keen to keep abreast of the latest developments in hearing healthcare and he visits the annual American Academy of Audiology Convention and EUHA Congress in Germany to gain personal, hands-on experience of new techniques and technologies.
In his spare time, Robert enjoys playing veterans football and, when time allows, skiing. He likes to soak up the atmosphere of live sporting events, especially rugby and Grand Prix motor racing and loves travelling.
A keen Rotarian (and Past President of Horsham Rotary Club), Robert lives by the philosophy of “putting back” and helping others. He supports the Reverend Muhoro School for the Deaf in Kenya, which he visits on a regular basis. His visits are always packed full of hearing tests, taking impressions and helping the youngsters who have usually lost their hearing as a result of other illnesses. For more information about the school and its work, visit our Charity page.

Sophie Patterson
I joined the Horsham branch in November 2022 after having worked within the NHS for over 10 years. Due to being a CODA (child of Deaf adults) and my interest for science and technology, Audiology was a natural career choice for me. I enjoy having the time to get to know the people I see, and will always endeavour to find the best solution to meet their hearing needs.
On Saturday mornings you will often find me at a parkrun event either walking, running or volunteering. When I’m not at parkrun, out for a walk or attending my Olympic Lifting classes, I enjoy sitting quietly either crafting or reading a good book.
