Hearing Aid Home Visits in the UK

Audiology home visits for hearing aids with a local audiologist

 Hearing Aid UK's Latest Update: 24/09/2026

Overview

Your home is actually one of the best places to have a hearing test and fitting done. Our audiologists can hear how sound travels through your rooms, adjust your hearing aids around the devices you use every day, and take the time to get things right in the environment where you actually live your life.

Hearing Aid UK offers free home visits across the UK through its network of over 200 HCPC-registered audiologists, covering hearing tests, fittings and aftercare. No waiting rooms, no transport to arrange, and no compromise on care.

Wherever you live, one of our audiologists in your area can visit you at home for a comprehensive, professional hearing test using the latest computerised equipment, all in the comfort of your own home, at a time that suits you. On this page, we talk about common questions, misconceptions, and worries about having hearing healthcare at home.

Not sure a hearing aid is even the right next step? That's exactly what a free hearing test is for. There's no obligation, no product being pushed, and no pressure to decide anything on the day. A home visit simply gets you a clear, independent answer about what's going on with your hearing.

Which hearing aid retailers in the UK do home visits?

The main high street hearing aid providers and what they offer

Boots Hearingcare home visits

Before David Ormerod Hearing Centres rebranded as Boots Hearingcare, they originally provided their customers with a home visiting service. Now they can only provide in-store appointments.

Specsavers Hearing home visits

Specsavers Hearingcare offers a home visit service in some areas, at the discretion of the Specsavers franchisee. In some areas, this is a free service; in other areas, they charge per visit, with waiting times for follow-up appointments of up to six months.

Audika (formerly Hidden Hearing and Amplifon) home visits

As of July 2026, Hidden Hearing and Amplifon have merged into a single brand, Audika, following Amplifon's full exit from the UK market and its sale to Demant, the company that already owned Hidden Hearing. If you were previously with either provider, your aftercare has now transferred to Audika, though which audiologist looks after you may depend on whether they've joined the merged business.

Both predecessor companies offered home visits before the merger; Hidden Hearing's service was free of charge, while Amplifon's was chargeable and not available in every location.

What this looks like under the combined Audika brand, whether it's free, chargeable, or varies by former provider and area, hasn't yet been independently confirmed, so we'd recommend checking directly with Audika for your specific postcode rather than relying on the old Hidden Hearing or Amplifon terms.

Scriven’s home visits

Scrivens does not, at this time, provide any home visiting services; whether this will change, we are unsure. No matter who you book with, always check if there is an additional fee before arranging an appointment to avoid any surprises.

Home visit terms vary a lot between providers and areas, from free to chargeable to not offered at all. Hearing Aid UK's home visits are free wherever you live in the UK.

"If you can hear the TV but not what's being said over it, that's not a volume problem, it's a clarity problem. It's also one of the most common things a home visit picks up that a general chat never would, because we're testing you in the room where it actually happens".

says Paul Harrison, Audiology Expert and Founder of Hearing Aid UK

Clinic visits vs home visits

Both are free, both include the same aftercare, and both are carried out by the same HCPC-registered audiologists. Which one suits you best usually comes down to convenience rather than quality of care.

What are the benefits of hearing care home visits?

Healthcare service in a natural environment

Hearing aid programming and fitting in the most natural environment for you, which is your home! Having your digital hearing aids fitted in the most common way you'll use them gives you a clear picture of how your devices will work.

Connect straight away

You'll get real-time connectivity to your devices. You can be taught there and then how to use, adjust, and connect to your at-home devices, so you can start taking advantage of the features straight away, such as Bluetooth.

A trusting and professional relationship with your audiologist

You can build a strong and supportive relationship with your audiologist. Being in your comfort zone allows you to absorb any information naturally and confidently, and can help you open up more about your expectations and worries regarding your hearing loss and wearing hearing aids.  

Convenient and practical

It's more convenient for you, so you don't have to miss out on anything, and you can book an appointment that fits your lifestyle. Avoid waiting in sitting rooms and waiting for transport, and if you don't drive, it can become an essential service.

We are finding that more and more people in later life rely on a home visiting service, as getting to the practice can be difficult, not to mention tiring. It can also mean one less appointment to juggle alongside everything else.

Bespoke and personable service for no extra cost

You pay the same price whether you visit the practice or have an appointment at home. Your home hearing test is free with no obligation. If you go ahead, every fitting and aftercare visit is included in the price of your hearing aids, so there are no call-out fees or hidden extras.
