Free home visits
with a local audiologist
Audiology home visiting services in the UK refer to audiology professionals who provide services and care for individuals with hearing or balance problems in the comfort of their own homes.
These services are particularly beneficial for people who have difficulty travelling to audiology clinics due to mobility issues, age-related limitations, or other health concerns.
On this page, we talk about common questions, misconceptions, and worries about hearing healthcare.
We will also cover topics like home hearing tests, which hearing aid retailers do home visits, hearing aid fittings at home, hearing tests for the elderly at home, and what services we provide.
Can hearing aid tests be done at home? Are hearing tests free? These are common questions when searching for a local audiology home visiting service, whatever the reason.
At Hearing Aid UK, our audiologists have always offered free at-home hearing healthcare services across the UK.
This includes hearing tests, fittings, maintenance, check-ups, and much more in the comfort of your own home and at your convenience.
Unlike some hearing aid providers, our hearing tests can be done at home and come at no additional cost.
These home visits can either be at your home, a loved one's, or within a nursing home environment.
Over the years, our audiologists have helped thousands of people find the right hearing solution for them in their own homes.
Giving them access to better hearing and quality of life at a time that suits them for no extra cost.
If you have concerns or have noticed your hearing has changed, book a free hearing home visit and our expert audiologists will be happy to help and support you.

Our network of over 200 audiologists provides professional nationwide coverage. This means we can provide home visits for hearing aid services throughout the UK.
So wherever you live, there is always at least one of our independent audiologists covering your area and ready to assist all your hearing healthcare needs.
We continue to be dedicated to giving our customers flexibility in the way they receive their hearing healthcare and whilst our audiologists can operate in shops, clinics, or day audiology centres - there are a lot of benefits to our home visiting services too.
In fact, most people prefer them and in some cases, they can be a lifeline to others due to their health limitations or various personal circumstances.
Which hearing aid retailers in the UK do home visits? You'd be surprised how many highstreet retailers don't offer home visits in any capacity - or if they do the service is very limited or chargeable. Hearing aid dispensing started as a tailor-made home service, but today's audiology prefers to operate their services in their clinics or practices.
This has always surprised us, as most people with hearing loss tend to be the most vulnerable and need such bespoke services.
Like NHS hearing aid drop-in clinics, the NHS service can organise hearing healthcare home visits, but this sometimes depends on what area you live in.
If NHS hearing test home visits or any hearing aid services are available locally, then chances are you'll be waiting weeks for an appointment.
What advantages do home visiting audiologists provide and what are the advantages of in-home hearing aid services? Hearing aid programming and fitting in the most natural environment for you - your home! Having your digital hearing aids fitted in the most commonplace you'll use them gives you a clear picture of how your devices will work.
You'll get real-time connectivity to your devices. You can be taught there and then how to use, adjust, and connect to your at-home devices - so you can start taking advantage of the features straight away, such as Bluetooth.
You can build a strong and supportive relationship with your audiologist. Being in your comfort zone allows you to absorb any information naturally, and confidently and can help you open up more about your expectations and worries regarding your hearing loss and wearing hearing aids. However, we are generalising here.
It's more convenient for you, so you don't have to miss out on anything and you can book an appointment that fits your lifestyle. Avoid waiting in sitting rooms, waiting for transport and if you don't drive it can become an essential service.
We are finding that more and more people who are of the older generation rely on a home visiting service, as getting to the practice might be near impossible to achieve - not to mention rather tiring. It also means that it is one less appointment to juggle along with other ailments that might need managing.
You pay the same price whether you visit the practice or have an appointment at home. All our home visits are free and are included in the cost of the hearing aids - so no additional costs or unwanted hidden extras.
The at-home option is the same excellent standard of service and customer experience you would expect in-house - you are not sacrificing the quality of service or products.
Along with our audiologists, we cover the whole of the UK. So, if you have a busy lifestyle, don't want to miss work, have logistic problems, or need a little more privacy - we can come to you.
We also assist the needs of the elderly with their hearing loss - either at home or in assisted living accommodation. We believe that no one should be restricted from hearing the sounds of life.

Yes, they can do. However, it is important to remember that, unlike us, not all hearing aid providers offer this service. Home visiting services are ideal for individuals who are unable to visit the clinic due to medical or logistical reasons.
These services are usually provided by audiologists or hearing care professionals who travel to the patient's home to conduct assessments, fittings, or adjustments for hearing aids, and provide necessary care or counselling.
