Hearing Consultation
Are you concerned about your hearing?
Do you frequently ask people to speak up or repeat themselves?
Do friends and relatives comment on your inability to understand clearly?
Are you watching television with subtitles?
If any of the above apply to you or your loved ones, we would encourage you to come to us for a hearing test and assessment.
During your time with us, one of our hearing care professionals will carry out the following:
- An examination of the ear canals and eardrums
- The hearing test – which is completed in one of our fitted soundproof booths – involves presenting a series of pure tones at various frequencies and varying levels to each ear, plotting a chart called an audiogram. This determines if you have any hearing loss and, if you do, we then work out the type and degree of hearing loss.
- Speech Discrimination test – this test measures speech understanding by saying words to you and then you will be asked to repeat the words. The audiologist will measure your ability to understand speech at a comfortable listening level.
When we have analysed our findings, we will then clearly explain the results of the test to you. If a hearing loss is found, we will give our recommendations for the best solution to meet your hearing needs.
We are more than happy for you to take your results away and speak with your family about what has been discussed. You are under no obligation to purchase your hearing aids with us as we want you to be fully satisfied in your decision.
