The Great Big Hearing Test

The Great Big Hearing Test

This event has been created by Boots Hearing care to help the nation hear better in 2026 and beyond. This is the second year of this event which is to encourage people across the UK who are experiencing symptoms of hearing loss to take action and book a free hearing test.

The Great Big Hearing Test takes place throughout the month of January. This follows research that shows family gatherings are the key driver for those with hearing loss to get it checked.

According to the NHS website hearing loss is common particularly as you get older. The NHS recommends you see your GP if you are having problems with your hearing. Common signs of hearing loss are difficulty hearing other people clearly and misunderstanding what they say. Also needing to ask people to repeat themselves, listening to music or the TV with a volume higher than other people need, difficulty hearing on the phone, finding it hard to keep up with a conversation. It can also make you feel tired or stressed from having to concentrate while listening.
