Get your relative down to the GP and ask for a referral to Audiology
and/or ENT.

The biggest hurdle will be getting elderly relative to admit that
they *may* have a problem and that *perhaps* a visit to the GP and
referral would be a good thing to do.


The problem is mobility. My relative is in a nursing home. Logically I
ought to be able to persuade her GP to make the necessary referral, but am
I likely to be able to get an Audiology specialist to make a visit? Can
they take whatever equipment they need with them?

NHS supplied hearing aid vastly improved my hearing. Plus side of NHS
hearing aid is continual free supply of batteries.
