Professional hearing care, without the journey.
A home visit can be a practical choice if travelling is difficult, you would prefer to stay in familiar surroundings, or having an appointment at home simply suits you better.
No need to travel
Tim brings suitable portable audiology equipment to your home, avoiding the need to arrange transport or travel to a clinic.
Time to understand you
The appointment explores how well you hear speech, the listening situations you find difficult and what you would most like to improve.
Care that continues
If hearing aids are appropriate, fittings, adjustments and reviews can also be arranged at home, maintaining continuity with Tim.

Where appropriate, Tim can demonstrate suitable amplification and explain your options clearly. There is no obligation to purchase hearing aids following an assessment.
From the town centre to neighbouring villages.

Tim can also support people living in care homes, retirement accommodation and supported living, working with family members and care staff where appropriate.
Arranging care for someone else?
