Local home hearing care
Your mobile audiologist in Newcastle
For a lot of people, and especially for an older parent, the hardest part of getting their hearing checked is simply getting to the appointment. Travelling across Newcastle to a high-street branch or a hospital department means traffic, a bus or the Metro, and time spent waiting before you are even seen. A home visit removes the whole trip. Wherever you are in the city, on a quiet street in Gosforth or a terraced row in Heaton, a qualified audiologist comes to you and works around your day.
A lot of our Newcastle appointments are booked by sons and daughters who have noticed the telly creeping up in volume or the same question being asked twice. You do not need to be in the house for the visit, though you are very welcome to be. We can arrange it by phone, keep you updated, and explain the results to whoever needs to hear them, without anyone having to take a parent into town.
Home-visit coverage is confirmed using the full postcode before an appointment is arranged.

From booking to clear results
The visit is relaxed and usually takes about an hour. Your audiologist brings the same professional equipment used in a clinic, runs a full check of your hearing, and then talks you through exactly what the results mean. If your hearing is healthy, we will say so. If there is something worth acting on, we will explain your choices honestly and let you decide in your own time.

Results are explained
You receive clear guidance on what your results mean and whether further support may be useful.
