Hearing test at home: how to arrange it and how to prepare
In short: Call or message us on WhatsApp, tell us your area and what you find hard to hear, and book a time. On the day, a quiet room with a table and a chair is enough. After the test you get a plain-language explanation of the results and decide together whether and how to continue.
Not everyone wants to, or can, go out for a hearing test. G-Sound carries out hearing tests at the customer’s home, by appointment and depending on the area, so the first step is a simple one.

Who a home test may suit
- People who find it hard to leave home, permanently or for a while.
- People who prefer to take the first step somewhere familiar and comfortable.
- Partners and family members who want to be part of the conversation.
- People with a busy schedule who prefer to arrange the test at home or at work.
How to prepare the room
- Choose a quiet room, away from the street and the kitchen.
- Turn off the TV, the radio and noisy appliances during the test.
- Have a comfortable table and chair ready.
- Write down a few situations where hearing is hard: the TV, the phone, conversation at meals.
- If you have a previous hearing aid or results of an earlier test, keep them close at hand.
What happens at the appointment
The appointment starts with a talk about your routine: where hearing gets in the way and what matters most to you. Then the hearing test is carried out, and at the end the results are explained. More on where and when to get tested: Hearing tests in Israel.
After the test
If a hearing aid is relevant, you can look at the options together. The demonstration and the fitting can take place where you will really use the hearing aid: in front of your own TV, and in conversation with the people you live with. See Hearing aid fitting at home. The decision stays yours, and there is no obligation to continue.
Important
A home hearing test does not replace urgent medical care. Sudden hearing loss, ear pain, discharge or dizziness are reasons to see a doctor without delay.
What to ask at the end of the test
- How do the results explain what I find hard at home and at work?
- Is there a difference between my two ears?
- What are the options from here, and what is the next step?
- Should I repeat the test, and when?
Write down the answers, or ask a family member who is there to note them.
A test at your workplace
If it is hard to find time in the middle of the day, you can ask about arranging the test at your workplace. Mention it when you get in touch, together with the area and convenient hours. Choose a small, quiet meeting room, away from the kitchenette and the coffee corner.
