Sound familiar?

Signs it’s time for a hearing test

Hearing changes slowly, so it’s easy to adapt without realising. Most people wait years longer than they should — one appointment settles it either way.

The TV keeps creeping louder

Family mention the volume before you notice it yourself

“Pardon?” more than you’d like

Asking people to repeat themselves, especially on the phone

Restaurants feel like hard work

Following conversation in background noise leaves you tired

Missing the quiet sounds

Birdsong, doorbells, the indicator ticking in the car

Others noticed first

A partner or friend has gently suggested a check

Ringing or buzzing

Tinnitus often travels with early hearing changes

Audiologist performing a hearing test at The Hearing Specialist

What happens at your assessment

Thorough, unhurried, and explained in plain English

Your appointment is with Sumit Joshi or Priyanka Joshi (BSc Hons, RHAD), HCPC-registered audiologists. We start with your story — where hearing feels hardest — then examine your ears carefully and measure your hearing precisely with pure-tone audiometry. You leave understanding exactly where your hearing stands, with honest advice on what (if anything) to do next.

Included in every £59 assessment

Three parts, one clear answer

1. Ear health check

A careful otoscopic examination checks the health of your ear canals and eardrums, and whether wax is part of the picture.

2. Precise hearing measurement

Pure-tone audiometry maps exactly which pitches and volumes you hear, ear by ear — the same clinical standard used in hospital audiology.

3. Results, explained honestly

Your audiogram walked through in plain English the same day. If hearing aids would help, we’ll say so — and you can trial before any decision. If they wouldn’t, we’ll say that too.

Know your options

Free, high-street or independent — your routes to a hearing test

There are three ways to get your hearing tested in the UK, and each has its place. Here’s the honest picture, so you can choose what suits you.

NHS hearing test

Free, thorough, and right for many people. You’ll need a GP referral first, and waiting times vary by area. Aid choice is from the NHS range.

High-street chains

Often free basic screenings on busy shop floors. Convenient — though appointments can be brief, and recommendations typically centre on the chain’s own-brand ranges.

Independent audiologist — us

£59 (free for over-65s at three clinics), same-day appointments, an unhurried clinical assessment, and — because we’re tied to no manufacturer — advice across every leading brand. Your results and your options, honestly explained.

Hearing test questions

Good to know

How much does a private hearing test cost?

£59 for the complete assessment — and currently FREE for over-65s at Wimbledon, Wallington and Addiscombe with code FREEHT (until 31 August 2026).

Do I get my results on the day?

Yes — your audiogram is explained in plain English the same day, and you take away a clear picture of your hearing.

What if the test finds hearing loss?

You'll get honest advice about your options. If hearing aids would genuinely help, we'll show you what suits your hearing, lifestyle and budget — and you trial before any decision. There's never pressure to buy.

How often should I have my hearing tested?

Every two years is sensible from your fifties onward, or sooner if you notice a change. Hearing aid wearers should be checked annually.

Do I need a GP referral?

No — you can book directly online or by phone, and same-day appointments are often available.

Can you test my hearing at home?

Yes — we bring the clinic to you across the areas near our four clinics for £89, with a call-out charge only further afield.
