Tuzla is the eastern neighbour of Pendik, where our centre is. If you live in Aydınlı, İçmeler, Postane, Şifa or Aydıntepe, you can contact us for a free hearing test and a hearing aid trial.
Pendik is easy to reach from Tuzla by Marmaray. For older relatives or those with limited mobility who find it hard to come to the centre, we offer home visits: the hearing test, fitting and adjustment of the hearing aid are done in your home, and we come back for maintenance and batteries.
How does a home hearing test in Tuzla work?
Call our appointment line or message us on WhatsApp, and we will agree on a day and time that suits you. Our specialist comes to your address in Tuzla, measures your hearing and explains the result the same day. If you need a hearing aid, we leave different models for you to try in your daily life.
Maintenance and batteries for hearing aid users in Tuzla
If your relative in Tuzla uses a hearing aid that sometimes sounds weak or crackles, the cause is often a blocked filter or a flat battery. During a home visit we clean the hearing aid, change the filters and protective covers, remove moisture and check the sound output. For rechargeable hearing aids, we also clean the charger's contact points and check that the hearing aid charges properly. If you use a battery-powered hearing aid, we can bring batteries in the right size; if you do not know the size, telling us the model is enough.
How often is maintenance needed?
You do the daily wipe yourself at home. For thorough maintenance, we usually recommend a check every few months. In humid weather, keeping the hearing aid in a drying container at night helps. If the sound becomes weaker, or crackling or whistling starts, you can contact us without waiting for the next maintenance.
Preparing an elderly relative for the visit
Before the visit, tell your relative who is coming and why. A quiet room with the television switched off is enough for the test. Have any previous test results, the ID card for SGK (Turkey's Social Security Institution) procedures and the hearing aid in use ready. If you prefer to come to our centre from Tuzla by Marmaray, the same preparation applies to an appointment at the centre.
After the visit, we agree together on the date of the next check or maintenance. That way the hearing aid's regular maintenance is not missed and your relative is not left without a hearing aid for long.
