Mobile hearing clinics offer more accessible hearing care. Like traditional clinics, many offer hearing tests, hearing aid fittings and hearing aid repairs.
Key points:
Mobile hearing clinics offer hearing care services through home visits and/or onsite industrial testing.
Mobile hearing clinics often have a travel radius. Contact the clinic to confirm they serve your area.
They are ideal for those living in underpopulated and/or underdeveloped areas, where the nearest clinic may be over 50 kilometres away. Retirement homes can also take advantage of this service. Many of their residents often have age-related hearing loss but struggle to visit in-clinic.
Mobile hearing clinics are also ideal for on-site industrial hearing testing. This testing is required for many industries where the work environment can put you at risk of developing hearing loss.

Downsides of a mobile hearing clinic
Though mobile hearing clinics are a convenient alternative to a traditional hearing clinic, there are some disadvantages.
Some mobile clinics are not sound treated to provide an accurate hearing test. At most, they can provide a hearing screening, like an online hearing test. A hearing screening can help you gauge whether you should book a hearing appointment for an official test.
