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, parking or a journey into Littlehampton.
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.
Understanding more than hearing levels.
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.
