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 patients with a home visiting service. Now they can only provide in-store appointments and do not offer Boots hearing aids home visits or hearing tests at home.

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. At the time of writing (December 2024), waiting times for follow-up appointments were up to six months.

Hidden Hearing home visits

With this company having locations in both England and Wales, Hidden Hearing can cater to those who require a home-visiting service at no extra charge.

Amplifon home visits

Currently, Amplifon does offer a home visiting service, but this is a chargeable service at around £30. It is important to know that they are unable to provide this service nationwide – please check whether your location is covered.

Scriven’s home visits

Scrivens is a small audiology company and 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.

Hidden Hearing appears to offer the most comprehensive home visit service (free and widely available), while other major retailers either don't offer the service, charge fees, or have limited availability. Always confirm fees and coverage before booking.

What are the benefits of hearing care home visits?

Healthcare service in a natural environment

What advantages do home-visit audiologists provide, and what are the advantages of in-home hearing aid services? Hearing aid programming and fitting in the most natural environment for you - 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 who are of the older generation rely on a home visiting service, as getting to the practice might be near impossible to achieve, not to mention rather tiring. It also means that it is one less appointment to juggle along with other ailments that might need managing.

Bespoke and personable service for no extra cost

You pay the same price whether you visit the practice or have an appointment at home. All our home visits are free and are included in the cost of the hearing aids, so no additional costs or unwanted hidden extras.

The at-home option is the same excellent standard of service and customer experience you would expect in-house - you are not sacrificing the quality of service or products.

Home visits provide personalised, convenient hearing care in your natural environment without compromising service quality or incurring extra costs, making them especially valuable for those with mobility limitations or busy schedules.
