Testimonials
Raul Garcia Medina, Chief Audiologist, The Royal Free Hospital
We have been using Sonic Labs for at least the last 10 years. From the product quality to the customer service, they have always excelled. When it comes to "off catalogue" requests, there product and material knowledge proves invaluable. We have tried the competitors but always come back to Sonic Labs.

I am very impressed with the quality of the moulds we receive from Sonic Labs, a view echoed by the comments from our patients. In addition, the levels of customer service are exemplary.

Our department has been using Sonic Labs as our regular ear mould provider for the past 18 months and can attest to their excellent service! The quality of their ear moulds is high, the turnaround is very fast and their invoicing is prompt, precise and clearly outlined. On top of that I find their customer service friendly and approachable and therefore recommend Sonic Labs highly.
