HEARING TESTS

A hearing test is an accurate measurement of how a person’s sense of hearing is across the full range of speech. The test measures sounds at different frequencies across the speech range and once completed you will be given the results.

 

Hearing is one of the most essential tools we need throughout life enabling us to communicate with others and cope with everyday life around us.

 

If you start experiencing or having hearing problems, it is important to get it checked out as soon as possible.

HEARING TEST PROCEDURE

The procedure begins with a brief discussion about your everyday lifestyle to establish which situations and environments you may be struggling to hear in. We will then discuss your medical history and talk about any issues that may have, or impact, your hearing ability.

 

A thorough check of your ears will be conducted via otoscopy, which is an ear examination to check the health of your ear canal and ear drum. This is followed by Pure tone Audiometry to establish the levels of your hearing. The hearing assessment will take between 60 and 90 minutes. You are welcome to bring a friend or relative along with you as it often helps to discuss the outcome afterwards.

IF YOU NEED A HEARING TEST, WHAT ARE THE SIGNS?

A common symptom of hearing loss is struggling to understand someone speaking. It is usually the clarity of the speech that is missing and an example of this is if you’re asking the other person to repeat what they said to you.

There are also many other types and symptoms of hearing loss and we advise you to get in touch with us.
