Signs it may be time to check your hearing
A hearing test is worth arranging if speech has become unclear, the television volume keeps increasing, group conversations are tiring or family members have noticed that you miss parts of conversations.
These changes do not confirm hearing loss on their own. A professional assessment checks what is happening in both ears and gives you clear findings before any next step is discussed.
Home-visit coverage is confirmed using the full postcode before an appointment is arranged.

A simple process
From booking to clear results
The visit takes around an hour and there is nothing to feel anxious about. The audiologist checks inside your ears, talks through your history, then runs a full hearing assessment using the same professional equipment you would find in any clinic. You see your results there and then, explained clearly so you understand what they mean. If hearing aids would help, you will be told honestly, and if they wouldn't, you will be told that too.
Your hearing is checked
Your audiologist carries out a hearing check using professional equipment in your home or workplace.
Results are explained
You receive clear guidance on what your results mean and whether further support may be useful.
You choose next steps
If hearing aids or further care may help, your options are explained clearly without pressure.
