Hearing Tests for Adults
Book an appointment to have your hearing tested.
Why do we test hearing?
Our aim is to establish the impact that the hearing loss is having on communication, and how we can assist in improving the communication barriers.
How do you test hearing?
All tests are performed in a sound treated booth, using carefully calibrated state of the art equipment in order to make a differential diagnosis of hearing loss. Using a variety of clinical tools, which may consist of pure-tone testing, speech audiometry and impedance testing, we will be able to determine your hearing acuity. Should a hearing loss be present, proper follow-up will be recommended by us – which may include referral for medical or surgical treatment, assistive hearing devices, or implantable devices – depending on the outcome of the test.
How long does it take?
Hearing tests are typically scheduled as a 30-minute appointment.
Who needs a Hearing Assessment?
All of us! Babies, children and adults of all ages - not only the geriatric population or those exposed to noise. If you have an ear, or two, you should have your hearing assessed!
When should hearing be assessed?
Birth and then annually thereafter. In the event where a person suffers from a known condition that can cause hearing loss, hearing should be assessed more regularly and this will be relayed to the patient in the event that repeat, regular assessments are required.
