The hearing test process
Consultation
Your appointment starts with a conversation about what you have noticed – whether that is difficulty keeping up with conversation, problems with background noise or changes you have been putting off having checked. This helps us make the test as relevant to you as possible.

Results and next steps
Once the test is complete, your audiologist will walk you through the results and explain what they mean for you. If nothing needs addressing, you’ll be informed. If hearing aids or further care are required, your options will be explained clearly and without pressure.

Hearing Test FAQs
How do I know if I need a hearing test?
Signs that a hearing test may be worth booking include regularly asking people to repeat themselves, difficulty hearing in background noise, turning up the volume more than you used to, or noticing a ringing or buzzing in your ears. A free hearing test is a straightforward way to find out where your hearing stands.
How long does the appointment take?
Most appointments last around 60 minutes, including the discussion beforehand and going through your results afterwards.
Will I get my results on the same day?
Yes. Your audiologist will explain your results during the appointment in plain language, so you leave with a clear understanding of your hearing.
What happens if I need hearing aids?
If hearing aids are appropriate for your level of hearing loss, your audiologist will explain the suitable options. You can take advantage of a free 2-week trial with no obligation before deciding.
Can children be seen for a hearing test?
Children can be seen subject to clinical assessment, with hearing tests typically offered from age six plus. Suitability is confirmed on an individual basis. Please contact us for more information.
What should I do if my hearing loss has come on suddenly?
Sudden, unexplained hearing loss should be treated as urgent. Please contact your GP or seek immediate medical advice rather than booking a routine hearing test appointment.
