What are hearing care home visits' advantages?

Local hearing care benefits

• Hearing aid programming and fitting in the most natural environment for you - your home! Having your digital hearing aids fitted in the most commonplace you'll use them gives you a clear picture as to how your devices will work.
• 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.
• You can build a strong and supportive relationship with your audiologist. Being in your comfort zone allows you to absorb any information naturally, confidently and can help you open up more about your expectations and worries in regards to your hearing loss and wearing hearing aids.  However, we are generalising here.
• It's more convenient for you, so you don't have to miss out on anything and you can book an appointment that fits in with your lifestyle. Avoid waiting in sitting rooms, 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.
• You pay exactly 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 cost 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 on the quality of service or products.

Who does home visits for hearing aids?

Digital hearing aid dispenser home visits

If you are researching hearing aids and think that you would benefit from a home visit, it would be easy to assume that all hearing aid providers can offer this. In reality, this is not the case. To bring clarity, below are the main highstreet hearing aid providers and what they currently offer:

Boots Hearingcare home visits

Before David Ormerod Hearing Centres rebranded as Boots Hearingcare they did originally provide 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 is quite accommodating if you are unable to visit the store, for whatever reason - they will book an appointment at home for you.  Although we are unsure as to what exactly those audiology services might be, we do know that an at-home visit, with Specsavers, will cost you approximately £100.  

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.

Bloom Hearing home visits

Similar to Hidden Hearing, Bloom Hearing can also accommodate their patients with an at-home service for their hearing loss needs for no additional fee.

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.

Scrivens 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.
