How to find Hearing First Ashford: map and access
Hearing First Ashford is based at the Kent Sports Academy, Creative Quarter on Javelin Way, postcode TN24 8FN. This page includes an interactive map and clear step by step directions for car drivers, cyclists and pedestrians, referencing local landmarks so you can plan reliably. The clinic sits within a compact business park which is easy to reach from the M20 and A2070 junctions. Allow extra time at peak periods and consult the live map for traffic updates. There is free on-site disabled parking and level access from the main car park to the clinic entrance, which supports patients with mobility needs attending audiology or microsuction appointments.
Concise driving directions
Leave the M20 at junction 10 and follow signs for Ashford town centre and the A2070. Stay on the A2070 and then follow the brown tourist signs for the Kent Sports Academy and Creative Quarter. Enter the postcode TN24 8FN into your sat nav and follow local signage to the patient parking bays. When approaching Sun Lane and Javelin Way drop your speed as the final approach runs through a mixed commercial area with pedestrian movement. Expect a short, level walk across the car park to the clinic entrance, suitable for pushchairs and wheelchairs.
Practical driving pointers
- If the main car park is full, there is alternative parking on Sun Lane, check restrictions and avoid private bays to prevent fines and towing.
- Set your sat nav to TN24 8FN but verify the pin on the map here, the Kent Sports Academy has several adjoining units and accurate directions reduce unnecessary circling.
- Use the large patient car park and follow signs to the Hearing First drop off point, this shortens the walk when you have mobility aids or children to manage.
- Blue Badge holders will find reserved bays near the building, display the badge clearly and contact reception on arrival if you require help with access.
- Leave the M20 at junction 10, take the A2070 eastbound and follow the signs to the Creative Quarter; weekday peak traffic can be heavier so add at least fifteen minutes to your journey time.

Driving from motorways and regional roads
Road access from surrounding areas is generally straightforward because Ashford sits on primary routes. For longer journeys use the M20, then follow signs for junction 10 and the A2070. The A2070 links to the A28 and A20 for arrivals from Canterbury, Folkestone and nearby towns. Expect delays on the A2070 during school and commuter peaks. If you are driving from Canterbury or the coast consider the A28 as an alternative to avoid central Ashford congestion. If you use satellite navigation, confirm the postcode pin against the interactive map to ensure you arrive at the correct entrance.
Roadside advice and managing congestion
Build extra time into trips that coincide with rail replacement buses or events at nearby sports venues. M20 traffic can be affected by lorry movements and occasional roadworks, so check live traffic reports before you set off. If you have a Blue Badge or need to be dropped off, approach via Sun Lane for the shortest and safest pedestrian route to the building. For environmentally minded travellers, local park and ride services reduce town centre driving and link to bus routes that stop within a short walk of the clinic.

Safe, expert ear wax removal by a qualified audiologist nearby
Ear care demands expertise, and some providers treat ear wax removal as a routine task for non-clinical staff. We take a different view: ear wax work should be carried out by trained audiologists who understand ear anatomy and hearing health.
At our clinic, only qualified audiologists perform ear wax removal, so your ears are treated by professionals with in-depth knowledge of ear physiology. That reduces the risk of injury and ensures the procedure is effective and tailored to you. Your hearing matters, and we are committed to delivering high clinical standards.
How much does ear wax removal in Ashford cost?
Prices start at £34. Final cost can vary with single or double ear treatment, peak versus off-peak slots, and how close to the date you book.
Walking and cycling: easy local routes
For nearby patients the clinic is a straightforward walk or bike ride from local neighbourhoods and the town centre. Pedestrian routes from Victoria Park and the high street are well surfaced and signed towards the Creative Quarter. Secure cycle racks stand close to the building and parts of the route include calm roads and marked cycle lanes, making the approach safe. Active travel often beats driving during busy times and provides a healthy pre appointment option. If cycling in poor light, wear visible clothing, use lights and lock your bike to the racks.
Suggested routes and safety advice
- Walking from nearby hotels or short stay accommodation usually takes under twenty minutes; follow pedestrian passages to the Creative Quarter for a direct route that avoids busy roads.
- If cycling from the Ashford Designer Outlet, use the shared footway and cycle lanes where provided; dismount in narrow sections to pass pedestrians safely and secure your bike to the clinic racks.
- From the town centre walk along the high street toward Victoria Park and follow pedestrian signs to Sun Lane; the path is mostly level and suitable for those with limited fitness or mobility.
- If you have mobility concerns, consider a short taxi combined with walking to reduce travel time and fatigue; taxis can drop you at the designated clinic drop off near the entrance.
- Take care crossing Javelin Way as visibility can be limited in places, use marked crossings and follow local signage that indicates pedestrian priority during busier times.
Tip: Wear comfortable shoes and bring your parking or travel confirmation so staff can advise on the best entrance for your needs.

Practical tips for your visit and aftercare
To ensure your appointment runs smoothly, plan travel using the interactive map and allow extra time for parking and check in. Do not use ear candles or try to remove wax yourself before attending, as these actions complicate the clinical assessment and raise the risk of problems. After treatment you will be given written aftercare specific to the technique used, whether microsuction or manual removal, and the audiologist will explain warning signs that need review. Travel and parking guidance, plus a reminder of the Waxfree Guarantee, are included in the confirmation email so you know what to expect. If follow up or ENT referral is needed, the clinic will provide clear documented guidance so continuity of care is straightforward.
Before and after your appointment
Prior to your visit stop using ear drops unless your clinician has told you to continue, and bring any previous medical notes if you have a complex ear history. After treatment you may notice brief fullness or slight vibration; these normally pass quickly but if you have persistent pain, discharge or reduced hearing, return to the clinic or seek urgent ENT assessment. Keep the clinic number handy and contact reception for advice if you are unsure. Follow the written aftercare and avoid getting water in the treated ear for the advised period, this reduces infection risk and aids healing.
Care note: If you have had ear surgery, a perforation or chronic ear problems, tell reception when booking so the audiologist can prepare an appropriate care plan.
