✔ already wear a hearing aid, or ✔ want to upgrade your hearing aid, or ✔ have previously been diagnosed with hearing loss
We start the 75 minute appointment talking to you about your medical background and what hearing problems you may be experiencing. Then, complete a general ear health check on both ears, including a video otoscopy.
We'll then conduct a thorough hearing test, checking your ability to hear sounds at various frequencies and to assess your understanding of speech in noise. Bringing a loved one with you can help with the test by having a familar voice in the room.
We'll plot your results on an audiogram and explain what they mean. There's plenty of time to answer any questions or concerns that you may have. We'll also offer some advice and recommendations, including a demo of latest digital hearing aids if appropriate.
At Boots Hearingcare, all our hearing tests and hearing health checks are completely free. Why not encourage a friend to come for a hearing test too?
Because hearing loss is so gradual, a person with a hearing loss might not even notice it. But it can be frustrating if a loved one seems to be struggling to hear – maybe they have the TV on very loudly, they ask you to repeat yourself a lot, or they have trouble talking to you on the phone.
We only offer hearing tests for adults aged 19 and over.
