Who’s eligible for a hearing test at home? 

Our hearing test at home service is designed specifically for patients who are housebound, whether due to mobility challenges, health conditions, or other reasons that make it difficult to travel to a Leightons branch. 

If this applies to you or a loved one, our friendly team can arrange a home visit with one of our professional audiologists. To arrange a home hearing test, simply give us a call, and we’ll book your appointment at a time that suits you.

If you’re not housebound, we recommend booking a free hearing test in one of our clinics, where you’ll have access to the same expert team and care.

Where possible, we encourage a family member, friend, or carer to be present. They can offer a familiar voice for testing and support you in discussing your results and options.

What is our hearing aids service at home?
