Most hearing aid companies will provide a free hearing test. This can take place in the comfort of your home or at a hearing aid centre with a friend or family member present and at a time and date of your choosing.
The hearing aid audiologist will firstly discuss any hearing problems you may have and then conduct an examination of your ears followed by various audiological tests to assess whether any hearing loss is present. You will then be able to review the results and discuss whether a hearing aid is appropriate at that time. If an aid is required, the hearing aid audiologist will offer free, impartial advice on the options and ranges most suitable to you.
A free home trial demonstration could also be provided to show you just how well various aids perform and the dramatic difference they can make not just to your hearing - but your whole enjoyment of life.
