Book your hearing test
Hearing aids are hard to judge in a quiet clinic room. So you take them home for 14 days, free, and wear them where it matters: at home, at work, out with friends. We support you throughout.
If they’re not for you, bring them back. There’s nothing to pay.

Whether they’re from the NHS, Boots, Specsavers or anyone else, bring the aids you wear now. We’ll test your hearing, check how your current aids are set up, and let you compare them with newer ones during your trial. If yours are still doing the job, we’ll tell you.
