Nursing Home Visits

Sussex Audiology Centre is proud to offer free hearing aid assessments for residents in nursing and care homes. One of our experienced Audiologists will visit your facility to carry out a thorough assessment, starting with an examination of the ears using an otoscope to check for any wax build-up or other issues that may be affecting hearing. If the ears are clear and healthy, a full hearing test will be conducted using over-ear headphones, resulting in a detailed audiogram.

Using the test results alongside a discussion of the resident’s medical history and daily needs, we’ll make tailored recommendations about whether hearing aids are suitable, and which type might be best. As an independent provider, we are not tied to any manufacturers – our only priority is finding a simple, effective solution that improves quality of life. A family member, carer, or nursing staff member is welcome to be present during the appointment for additional context and support.

If hearing aids are recommended, our specialist will return to deliver and fit the chosen device, make sure the settings are right, and provide a clear demonstration of how to use and maintain the equipment. We also offer ongoing support, including check-ups, maintenance visits, and annual reviews, all arranged at your convenience.
