Hearing Tests

Hearing checks and assessments

Hearing Check: £60.00 (complimentary with every wax removal appointment)

Hearing and Communication Assessment: £95.00

Regular hearing assessments are vital for maintaining optimal hearing health and detecting any potential issues early on.

We offer a complimentary Hearing Check with every wax removal which lasts between 15 – 30 minutes. They are efficient and encompass key frequency tests along with an ear examination.

For individuals experiencing hearing challenges, we conduct a Hearing and Communication Assessment lasting approximately 90 minutes. During this comprehensive evaluation, we delve into how communication difficulties impact your daily life and delve into relevant medical history. Utilising state-of-the-art technology, our assessments include advanced procedures such as video-otoscopy, pure tone testing, speech-in-noise testing, and tympanometry if necessary.

Following the analysis of your results, we provide a detailed explanation, often accompanied by an audiogram illustrating your unique hearing profile. Should hearing aids be recommended, we tailor a solution to suit your specific hearing loss, lifestyle, and financial considerations. As an independent practice, we present all available options, empowering you to make well-informed decisions regarding your hearing health.

Are you thinking about a hearing test?

Ask yourself the following questions, the answers will reveal if you should come in for a test:

• Do you find it challenging to follow conversations, particularly in noisy environments?
• Do you often need to increase the volume on the TV or radio, but still find it hard to hear?
• Do you often ask people to repeat themselves during conversations?
• Do you feel fatigued or stressed after listening to something for a long time?
• Do you tend to avoid socialising because it is harder to hear in noisy environments?
• Have friends or family members made comments about your hearing abilities?

If you’ve answered ‘yes’ to more than one of these questions, you should probably have a comprehensive hearing and communication assessment here in the centre. The assessment will single out the nature and how much hearing loss you may have.

We will then decide with you if a medical referral is necessary, and look at the best options, whether that be a simple wax removal or perhaps hearing aids if necessary.

An important part of the assessment it talking to you about your options and the extent of your hearing deficit, if any. If hearing aids are the answer we offer trial periods and demonstrations of our hearing technology. That way you can experience firsthand the improvements you can enjoy in your day to day routine.

Where you aware that?

Hearing loss can significantly your life in various ways:

• Communication: Difficulty staying connected and effectively communicating leads to challenges in following conversations, particularly in noisy environments, resulting in exhaustion and frustration.
• Engaging with others: Neglected hearing loss can impede participation in community activities and social gatherings, making it harder to remain active within the community.
• Certain Health Risks: Research indicates a connection between untreated hearing loss and cognitive decline, as well as an elevated risk of dementia.
• General happiness: Hearing loss may foster feelings of isolation, potentially contributing to mental health concerns like depression and loneliness.

Even watching television or listening to the radio and using the telephone can become difficult as a result of hearing difficulties.

Taking steps to address hearing loss through suitable interventions, such as hearing aids or other treatments, can greatly enhance your quality of life and overall well-being.
