If your mother or father is missing conversations, we test them at Electronic City Phase 1 or Phase 2, or screen them at home nearby. They get an easy rechargeable aid and wear it 7 days at home before you pay.
Hearing loss in older adults comes on slowly. They often do not notice it. You do.
A few minutes with headphones on our online hearing check. Not a diagnosis, but a good conversation starter.
Age-related hearing loss usually takes the high pitches first. Your parent may hear that someone is talking but not catch the words, especially from women, children, or anyone speaking fast. They may laugh along at the dinner table without following the joke.
For elderly or housebound patients, an audiologist comes home. No stairs, traffic or waiting.
Home screening is less precise. If the full test is needed, we plan a short, easy centre visit.
One of our audiologists can come to the home in and around Electronic City. Ask us whether your area is covered, and ask for a home visit when you book. The team will confirm the visit fee with you before the appointment.
The smallest aid is rarely the best for a parent.

Refusal usually has a reason. Find out which one.
Grandchildren on video calls, the bhajan group, the TV news at normal volume.
This is the most common thing grown children tell us. Hearing loss creeps in over years, so it feels normal to them. Seeing their own audiogram, explained calmly by an audiologist, often does more than any family argument. If cost is the worry, our price guide explains what each tier costs.
Come to the appointment with them if you can. An older person often takes in more when someone they trust hears the same explanation.
Many people picture the large beige aids of the past. A friend’s bad experience with a cheap amplifier or an aid that was never tuned is different from a fitted aid with a trial.
The trial only works if the aid is worn in real life.
“Could hear Amma on the phone”, “Wedding hall too loud”. Specific notes tune better than “it is OK”.
What is certain is simple: when your parent hears well, they stay in the conversation.
Hearing dropped suddenly (ENT the same day), an ear hurts, discharges or seems blocked with wax; we do not remove wax. Fast-worsening memory or confusion: see their doctor or a neurologist too.
When hearing goes, conversation gets harder. Many older people slowly withdraw: they stop phoning friends, sit quietly at family meals and skip outings. Families often notice the loneliness before they notice the hearing.
Research has found an association between untreated hearing loss and a higher risk of dementia. The Lancet Commission on dementia lists hearing loss among the risk factors that can be changed. This is a link found in studies, not proof that hearing loss causes dementia or that a hearing aid prevents it.
You do not have to be the patient to book. If you work in Electronic City and live nearby, a Saturday slot at either centre often works best. If you cannot be there, ask us to call you after the appointment.
Scheme aids are given through government-approved agencies and camps. Read free hearing aid schemes to see if your parent qualifies, and hearing aid prices for what each tier includes.

Yes. For parents and grandparents who find travel hard, a Poorvam Hearing audiologist can visit at home in and around Electronic City for a hearing screening, a hearing aid trial or an adjustment. If the screening shows that a full test in a sound-treated booth is needed, we tell you and plan the easiest way to do it.
Start with a hearing test, not a hearing aid. Many people say no because they expect a big, whistling aid or a hard sell. Let them hear their own result explained, then try a small rechargeable aid for a week with no commitment. Choose one situation they miss, like grandchildren on video calls, and talk about that rather than about “being deaf”.
For most older people, a small behind-the-ear aid with the speaker in the canal (RIC), rechargeable, with a push button large enough to feel. It goes into a charger at night, so there are no tiny batteries. If hands are shaky or eyesight is weak, a slightly bigger aid that is easy to hold is often better than the smallest one.
Research has found that people with untreated hearing loss are more likely to develop dementia, and the Lancet Commission on dementia lists hearing loss among the risk factors that can be changed. That is an association, not proof that hearing loss causes dementia, or that a hearing aid prevents it. What is clear is that hearing well keeps people in conversation and less isolated.
Yes. Book online with your own phone number and your parent’s name, or call or WhatsApp +91 88848 64343. Tell us whether they will come to Phase 1 or Phase 2 or need a home visit, and who will be with them. If you cannot be there, ask us to call you after the appointment.
Usually a few weeks of daily wear. Older adults who have not heard clearly for years can find the first days loud or tinny. Short, regular wear in quiet rooms, building up to the whole day, works better than waiting for a big family function. We fine-tune at follow-up visits.
At Electronic City Phase 1, Phase 2 or at home. Then a 7-day trial before anyone pays.
