Boots Hearingcare offers a completely free hearing test at more than 400 stores nationwide, carried out by a professional audiologist in around 15 minutes.

Book online at bootshearingcare.com or in store – the appointment begins with a free hearing health check to assess your general hearing and flag any immediate concerns, with no pressure or obligation to buy anything afterwards.

Boots does not deliver NHS audiology services directly, but can pass your results to your GP for referral to free NHS hearing aids if that route is preferred over paying privately.
