Already own a hearing aid or been recommend one by a hearing specialist?

If you already wear a hearing aid or you've have been told you'd benefit from wearing one from an Audiologist or other hearing specialist, a full hearing assessment may be a better option.

What happens during a hearing test?

A free 15-minute hearing check at Boots Hearingcare is a quick and easy way to find out how well you’re hearing. In your appointment, a Boots Hearingcare expert will…

Check the health of your ears
Carry out some simple tests to see how well you’re hearing
Give you advice about how you can hear better

Should I have a hearing test?

Hearing loss is so gradual, it’s not always easy to notice if you’re not hearing as well as you used to. Here are some signs you can look out for:

The TV is too loud for other members of your family
You find it difficult to keep up with conversations when there’s background noise
Chatting on the phone is tricky even when the room is quiet
You feel like people are mumbling a lot, and you have to ask them to repeat what they’ve said.

Helping a loved on with hearing loss

If you think someone you know has a hearing loss, here are some things you can do for them:

Chat in quiet places where there’s less background noise
Make sure they can see your face when you talk – lots of people use basic lip-reading without realising
Encourage them to book a free hearing check.
If they need a hearing aid, make sure you’re patient as they get used to hearing better again

Should I have a hearing test?

Because hearing loss is so gradual, it’s not always easy to notice if you’re not hearing as well as you used to. Here are some signs you can look out for:

The TV is too loud for other members of your family
You find it difficult to keep up with conversations when there’s background noise
Chatting on the phone is tricky even when the room is quiet
You feel like people are mumbling a lot, and you have to ask them to repeat what they’ve said.

Often it’s your loved ones who notice a hearing loss before you do – so they might hint that you’re finding it difficult to hear too.

If you think you have had a sudden hearing loss, or have a loss which impacts one side significantly more or fluctuates, we recommend seeking medical advice before a hearing assessment.

Hearing loss affects one in six people in the UK. If you’re over 50, we recommend that you have an ear and hearing check every two years to keep an eye on your hearing.

At Boots Hearingcare, they’re completely free and take 15 minutes – Book your appointment now.

How often should I have a hearing test?

It’s important to keep an eye on your hearing, as well as on the health of your ears, to make sure that everything is working as it should. If you’re over 50, we’d recommend you get your hearing checked at least every two years, so that we can make sure your hearing hasn’t changed too much since your last appointment.
