Our promise

Free home hearing tests with no pressure, ever

Your home hearing test is completely free and carried out by an HCPC registered audiologist using professional equipment. It is designed to give you clear answers in a familiar setting, without the need to travel to a clinic.

After your test, your results are explained in plain English with honest guidance on what may help next. There is no obligation to buy hearing aids, no pressure to book further care and no confusing sales talk.

No obligation. No pressure. Clear advice.

Self-check

Do you need a hearing test?

Hearing changes often happen gradually, which means it can be easy to adapt without realising how much you are missing. If you often ask people to repeat themselves, turn the television up, struggle to follow conversations in groups, miss parts of phone calls, or notice ringing, buzzing or muffled hearing, it may be time to arrange a professional hearing test. This quick self-check is not a diagnosis, but it can help you decide whether a free home hearing test with Hear Better could be useful.
