Tim Davies is a qualified, HCPC-registered audiologist and owner of South Coast Hearing. He offers unhurried appointments, taking time to understand your hearing, communication needs and what you would most like to improve.
From central Worthing and Broadwater to Goring-by-Sea, Durrington and nearby communities, Tim provides hearing care at home by arrangement. There is no need to travel to a clinic.
Whether you're noticing hearing difficulties for the first time or already wear hearing aids, your assessment and subsequent care can be provided by the same audiologist.
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, so you can receive personal hearing care without arranging transport or travelling to an appointment.
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.
Personal care, in familiar surroundings.
“Tim Davies has been a blessing to my husband, who is no longer able to visit professional premises. His manner is friendly and very professional; he is quick to understand how he can best support his clients’ needs, and he provides outstanding aftercare to ensure clients benefit to the full. We couldn’t recommend him more highly.”

A hearing test measures the sounds you can detect, but hearing difficulties can affect much more than sound volume.
Tim's Signature Hearing Assessment explores speech clarity, listening effort, your hearing history and the situations in which you need the most support.
Testing is adapted to the suitability of your home environment, using portable equipment. If further assessment is necessary, Tim will explain why.
You'll receive a clear explanation of the findings and balanced advice about possible next steps.

Hearing aids are only part of successful hearing treatment. The assessment, choice of technology, fitting and ongoing adjustments all influence the benefit you experience in everyday life.
Tim provides independent hearing aid advice and fittings at home in Worthing. Recommendations are based on your hearing, speech clarity needs and listening priorities, rather than a single manufacturer's range.
Where appropriate, Tim can demonstrate suitable amplification and explain your options clearly. There is no obligation to purchase hearing aids following an assessment.
More than simply a hearing test.
Whether you already wear hearing aids or are considering them for the first time, Tim can discuss assessment, fitting and ongoing support at home.
Hearing aids and aftercare
If hearing aids could help, Tim can recommend appropriate technology from a range of manufacturers, based on your individual listening needs.
Fittings, adjustments and ongoing reviews are included according to the care package selected.
