What is a Hearing Test
If you've any concerns about your hearing the sensible first step is to have your hearing tested by a professional. Hearing tests are readily available, adult testing is FREE and can be booked by calling 01495 651232 if you’ve never had your hearing tested before and you’re not sure what’s involved don’t worry, hearing tests are straightforward and painless procedures. How is it carried out Firstly we’ll discuss your hearing with you. This will include questions about your health and hearing history but also your lifestyle (as this can often impact on how your hearing affects you). This will also help us to understand possible causes for any hearing problems. Next we’ll examine your ears. From this we’ll be able to assess the general health of your ear and ear canal and identify any wax, obstruction or infection that may be affecting your ability to hear clearly - If we do discover anything that requires attention from your ourselves or your GP we’ll refer you straight away. |
The third stage is the hearing test itself. You will be provided with special headphones to wear for the duration of the test. We will then present you with a series of sounds through the headphones and ask you to press a button whenever you hear one. As the test progresses we’ll plot the details of your hearing on a graph called an audiogram, which will provide a ‘picture’ of your hearing levels. What if I do have poor hearing? Finally we’ll take you through your results. If the test indicates your hearing is within normal levels we’ll invite you to come back for your next regular check in 2 years time. If your hearing test indicates you have some level of hearing loss we’ll take the time to discuss your options with you. One of these options may be to consider a hearing aid. We have a wide range of styles, sizes and prices which we can take you through. If you would like any further information our hearing tests, please feel free to contact us today. |
