Specsavers home hearing tests
Our team of mobile audiologists provide a comprehensive hearing and ear care service to those who cannot get to one of our stores unaccompanied.
All of our visiting audiologists are fully experienced in conducting hearing tests at home, so you can be sure you, or someone you care for, will receive the same care and attention you’re used to. Safety remains a priority so we are following NHS England's guidelines regarding PPE.
What happens in a hearing test at home?
At-home hearing tests are very similar to the ones we do in-store, just with a few adjustments and specialist equipment to make them home-friendly.
Before the test
We’ll give you the name of your audiologist before your visit so you know who’s coming to your home.
When they arrive they will decide on the best area in your home for the test.
If you have mobility issues or are bedbound, then the test can be done wherever you’re most comfortable, so long as it’s nice and quiet.
During the hearing test
Your audiologist will use a tiny camera to examine the health of your ear canals and eardrums.
Then you’ll wear a pair of headphones to listen to sounds at different pitches, and you’ll press a button every time you hear a sound.
Your audiologist will ask you some questions to find out more about your hearing, and answer your questions too.
Choosing your hearing aids
We have a wide range of digital devices to suit your lifestyle and budget.
Our bestselling Specsavers Advance range, made exclusively for us by leading manufacturers, starts at just £500.
In some areas we offer an NHS-funded home hearing service which includes new hearing aids. Please call us on 0800 089 0887 to check your eligibility.
Fitting your hearing aids
You’ll have another appointment where your audiologist will fit your new hearing aids and makes sure they’re programmed correctly for you.
They’ll also show you how to use and look after them.
Your hearing test provides us with a unique prescription, or hearing profile, which is loaded into the hearing aids.
Aftercare services
You’ll have access to our aftercare package to make sure you’re fully supported on your journey with us, including a four-year warranty and a 100-day money-back guarantee (from the date of fitting).
If you experience any difficulties, our fully trained teams are available to carry out basic hearing aid maintenance.
How much does a home hearing test cost?

If your audiologist recommends hearing aids, we have a wide range of digital devices suitable for all lifestyles and budgets. Our bestselling Specsavers Advance range, made exclusively for us by leading manufacturers, starts at just £500.
