Find a Hearing Test Near You

Finding a hearing test near you has never been easier. With hundreds of hearing care providers across the UK — from high-street chains to independent audiologists — there's likely to be a clinic within a short distance of your home or workplace.

High-street providers

The major high-street brands offer hearing tests at locations across the UK:

• Specsavers — over 600 stores with in-store audiology, offering free hearing tests
• Boots Hearingcare — free hearing health checks at selected Boots pharmacies
• Hidden Hearing — over 300 clinics nationwide with free assessments
• Amplifon — over 200 clinics across the UK with comprehensive hearing services
• Scrivens — hearing tests available at their high-street branches

Independent audiologists

Independent audiologists registered with the HCPC or members of the BSHAA offer a more personalised service. They often provide longer appointment times, a wider choice of hearing aid brands, and may specialise in areas such as tinnitus management or paediatric audiology. Use our search tool to find HCPC-registered audiologists near you.

NHS audiology

NHS hearing tests are available through audiology departments, usually based at hospitals or community health centres. You'll need a GP referral, and waiting times vary by area. See our guide to NHS hearing tests for more information.

How to choose

Consider factors such as location, appointment availability, whether the test is free or paid, and the range of services offered. If you're looking for a quick initial check, a free high-street test is ideal. For a comprehensive assessment, an independent audiologist or private clinic may be a better fit.
