Free Home Hearing Tests for Elderly Parents
Free hearing tests at home for elderly parents and relatives. A registered hearing expert brings clinic equipment to the house and explains the results there and then. No call-out charge, no obligation.
Plenty of the home hearing tests we carry out are booked by a son or daughter for a parent. Getting an older relative to a clinic can mean taking time off, a car journey and a waiting room, and some people simply will not go. So we bring the appointment to them instead.
A registered hearing expert visits with the same equipment we use in clinic: a video otoscope to look inside both ears on screen, a calibrated audiometer and clinical headphones. The full test takes about an hour and a quarter, and the results are explained there and then, so you can be in the room to hear them too.
Testing at home also means we hear the rooms your parent actually struggles in, such as the television they cannot follow or the kitchen where conversation disappears. If they need hearing aids, everything from impressions to fitting and aftercare can happen at home as well. If they do not, we will say so plainly.
The visit is free, with no call-out charge and no obligation, anywhere in the UK including Northern Ireland. Leave your details or theirs below and we will call to arrange a time.

Common questions
Can I book a home hearing test for my elderly parent?
Yes. Many of our home visits are booked by family members. Give us your details or theirs, let us know about any access needs or the best person to speak to, and we will arrange a time that suits.
Is a home hearing test as accurate as one in clinic?
Yes. We bring the same calibrated equipment and run the same full assessment. The only difference is the room, and a quiet room at home works well.
Can I be there during the visit?
We encourage it. Having a family member there helps with the conversation about what has been noticed, and means you hear the results first hand.
What if my parent has dementia or memory problems?
We can still help. Our clinicians take things at a gentle pace, explain each step simply, and having a family member present makes a real difference.
How much does a home hearing test cost?
Nothing. The visit and the full diagnostic test are free, with no call-out charge and no obligation to buy anything.
Which areas do you cover?
The whole of the UK, including all six counties of Northern Ireland. Our clinics are in Derby, Cannock and Mapperley, and our clinicians travel out from there.
