How our home hearing tests work
We offer a full range of hearing services at home, including ear wax removal, hearing tests, and hearing aid fittings.

FAQ
How long does a home hearing test take?
A home visit hearing test usually takes around 60–90 minutes. This gives us time to carry out a full hearing assessment, explain the results clearly, and answer any questions you may have.
Do I need to prepare anything before my hearing test?
No special preparation is needed. We simply ask that you have a quiet room available so we can carry out your hearing test accurately.
Can I receive a free hearing test in a care home?
Yes. We regularly carry out home visit hearing tests in care homes and provide the same level of service as we would in a private home.
Many of our patients continue their hearing care with us after moving into residential or nursing care.
Are home hearing tests as accurate as a hearing clinic?
Yes. We use the same diagnostic equipment as a hearing clinic, and your hearing test is carried out in a quiet room wherever possible.
In most homes, this provides accurate and reliable results. The home environment can also help when setting up hearing aids, as we can adjust them based on the sounds you hear every day.
Are online hearing tests accurate?
Online hearing tests can indicate whether there may be hearing loss, but they don’t diagnose the type or cause.
They also won’t detect hearing issues such as ear wax build-up or problems in the ear canal. For a full assessment, and medical diagnosis, a professional hearing test with an audiologist is recommended.
Can you provide a free online hearing test?
Yes. Our free online hearing test takes around three minutes and is a simple way to check for early signs of hearing loss.
It’s a screening tool rather than a full diagnosis, but it can help you decide whether to book a professional assessment with an audiologist.
How can you provide a free home hearing test?
We already carry out home visit hearing tests across Greater London, so we’re often in your area.
If we can schedule your hearing test when we’re nearby, we’re able to offer it at no cost.
Will tinnitus affect my hearing test results?
Tinnitus can sometimes make it harder to distinguish certain sounds during a hearing test, especially in quiet environments.
To manage this, we use specific sound patterns that make it easier to tell the difference between the test tones and your tinnitus, so we can still get accurate results.
How often should I have a hearing test?
If you’re concerned about your hearing health, it’s a good idea to have your hearing tested.
The NHS recommends a hearing test every 2–3 years for adults over 50. You may need more regular hearing checks if you’re exposed to loud noise or have a history of poor ear health.
