Hearing Care for Care Homes and Assisted Living in West Sussex
South Coast Hearing provides hearing care for residents in care homes, assisted living settings, sheltered housing and retirement communities across West Sussex.
We support residents who are finding conversation more difficult, TV is hard to hear, struggling to hear staff or family, or using hearing aids that may need checking, cleaning, adjustment or replacement.
Supporting communication, confidence and connection
Hearing difficulties can have a significant impact on day-to-day life in a care setting. Residents may find it harder to follow conversation, take part in activities, hear staff clearly or enjoy visits from family and friends. There are also proven links to cognitive health and hearing loss.
Sometimes the problem is untreated hearing loss. In other cases, a resident may already have hearing aids, but they may not be working properly, may need cleaning, or may no longer be suitable for the person’s hearing needs.
Good hearing care can help residents feel more connected, more involved and more confident in everyday communication.

Practical hearing support at the care home
South Coast Hearing can help with:
Home/care setting hearing assessments
Otoscopy to check the ears
Existing hearing aid checks
Hearing aid cleaning and maintenance
Dome and filter changes where suitable
Advice if hearing aids are weak, intermittent or uncomfortable
Help with rechargeable hearing aids and Bluetooth features
Discussion with family or care staff where appropriate
Advice on whether new hearing aids may be beneficial
Follow-up support where required
Coordinated, calm and practical appointments
Appointments can be arranged by the resident, a family member, care home staff or a representative.
Where helpful, we can coordinate with the care team to make sure the resident is available and comfortable for the appointment. A family member, carer or staff member can be present during the visit if this would help with communication, history-taking or decision-making.
This is particularly helpful when a resident finds it difficult to explain their hearing concerns clearly or when family members are involved in care decisions.
