Free 5 - Minute Test
You can choose from a free 5-minute hearing test or, if you are quite certain you have a hearing loss you can book a free full hearing assessment instead.
Your free 5-minute hearing test
If you suspect your hearing is not what it should be it’s very easy to seek professional advice. Simply call in at your local David Ormerod Hearing Ccentre and ask for a free 5-minute hearing test. Your hearing aid audiologist will check your ear canal and ear drum and ask you to listen to a series of sounds through headphones and ask you to respond by clicking a button. This simple test will determine if you do have a hearing problem and, if so, your next step would be to book a full hearing assessment.
Your free full hearing assessment
Your full hearing assessment is a thorough examination and will determine the type and degree of your hearing loss and will take approximately one hour. Your hearing aid audiologist will explain your results to you and will be happy to answer any questions you may have about your hearing. They will offer you advice on the extensive range of digital hearing aids that are available. There is a wide range of hearing aids for you to choose from, in different sizes and technologies to suit your type of hearing loss, your needs and your budget.
Home Visits
Should you have problems visiting your local centre, in most areas of the country a home visit by one of our professional hearing aid audiologists can be arranged, at your request, and is completely free of charge. Your hearing assessment, using the latest computerised equipment, will be of the same quality as that carried out in one of our hearing centres. Should you require hearing aids, your fitting and subsequent follow-up appointments can all take place at home too. Call us today on 0845 270 0980 to find out more.
Safe and secure
Our home visit service aims to bring a much-needed service to individuals who, because of disability or illness, are unable to attend one of our centres. Our at-home experts have been checked by Protection of Vulnerable Adults (POVA) and they’ll carry photographic identification. They are also registered with the Hearing Aid Council and are all employed by David Ormerod Hearing Centres.
