During the trial, Amplifon will use advanced hearing technology and offer free hearing tests and hearing aid trials, as well as a range of tailored hearing aid options.

The trial will make Asda the first UK supermarket to offer an in-store hearing service.

Asda Healthcare Partnerships manager Maq Din said: “There are 6.7 million people in the UK who could benefit from a hearing aid, so we are delighted to work with an established company such as Amplifon to offer this convenient service in some of our opticians.”
