Upcoming Events

At The Hearing Care Partnership, we work closely with our partners – most commonly opticians, alongside other trusted community organisations – to host a variety of events throughout the year. These events give you the opportunity to learn more about your hearing, speak directly with expert audiologists, and explore our services in a relaxed, welcoming environment.

Whether you join us for an Open Day, a friendly Coffee Morning, or a Community Visit, each event is designed to support you in taking positive steps towards better hearing health.

Community Visits

Community Visits are held in external venues such as care homes, retirement villages, schools, workplaces, or other community organisations. They allow us to bring hearing care directly to environments where it may be most beneficial.

Depending on the setting, Community Visits may include:

  • Hearing health checks
  • Basic screening and examinations
  • Tailored advice and support
  • Informative discussions around hearing and wellbeing

Any specific arrangements for these visits will be clearly listed within the event details.
