We have been asked by the team at Specsavers as a hearing services provider to find 30-40 gransnetters to go along to one of their centres and to have a hearing test (for themselves) and to share their feedback on a thread on Gransnet.
Specsavers say “It's no secret that there's a bit of a stigma surrounding age-related hearing loss - not surprisingly because it can often be age-related...and having hearing problems isn't something that older people always want to admit to. Having hearing problems can lead to the assumption that someone is "old", and that's a big drawback when it comes to getting the issue sorted. However, we are confident we can provide the right level of support to you at one of our centres and we’d love to hear how you get on!

We’re looking for gransnetters to visit a Specsavers Hearing Care Centre in in any location in the UK
Pick a location from here
If selected, you will be asked to book a full private hearing test by telephone. On that call you will be asked a number of questions and you will need to say you are visiting on behalf of Gransnet. The test itself will last around 45 minutes. This is free.
This project is designed for people who are genuinely curious about what goes on at a hearing test, regardless of whether they think there’s a problem or not.
If a hearing loss is detected and it's something you wish to pursue then you will need to discuss this with your individual audiologist. Note there’s no obligation to get your hearing aids from Specsavers at all – this product test is just about the hearing test itself and the service in branch.
After your hearing test we’d like you to return to Gransnet to add your feedback on a thread on site. We’d also love you to add a review on the GN local pages – for example here: local.gransnet.com/hertfordshire/hearing-centres
Everyone who takes part and adds feedback as required will be entered into a prize draw where one tester will win a £200 voucher for the store of their choice. We’d like feedback in by the end of February so please only apply if you’re around in the next month or so.
To apply please add your details here and we will be in touch:
