Private Hearing Tests & Hearing Aids at Home
At Blackdown Hearing, we believe expert hearing care should be accessible and personal, wherever you are. That’s why we offer private home visit appointments for hearing tests across Somerset’s TA postcodes.
Whether you find it difficult to travel, prefer the comfort of your own home, or want a more relaxed experience, we bring the same level of expert, independent care from our clinic straight to your door. After your hearing test, we’ll explain your results clearly and offer honest, independent advice on hearing aids if needed.
Book your hearing test at home today and hear the moments that matter again.

✔ A full hearing health assessment

If hearing aids are needed, you’ll receive independent advice on the best options for you, always with expert care and no pressure.
"Duncan is professional, meticulous, experienced and knowledgeable. I had been struggling for a while with some old and almost useless hearing aids. After two visits at home, the first for discussion, analysis, and thorough testing, and the second a follow-up at which he brought and fitted the most superb and up-to-date hearing aids, I can now 'hear the birds sing' (and, of course, much more!). What a revelation. Thank you, Blackdown Hearing."

Independent Care That Comes to You
Unlike high-street chains, we’re not tied to a single manufacturer, so we can offer a wide range of the latest hearing aids from leading brands like Phonak, ReSound, Widex, and Starkey, all in the comfort of your own home.
In the 2025 Which? Magazine survey, independent audiologists like us received the highest customer satisfaction scores across key areas, including hearing aid quality, value for money, and aftercare. That’s the level of care we bring to every home visit.
Hearing Aid at Home Plans
Your hearing is unique, and we believe your hearing care at home should be too. Every home hearing aid plan is tailored to your lifestyle and hearing needs, using the latest technology chosen by your audiologist. You’ll receive personalised fitting, dedicated aftercare and ongoing support at home so you get the very best from your hearing aids.
