Diagnostic Hearing Test
A proper hearing test, in a soundproof booth.
I provide comprehensive hearing assessments in a soundproof booth, evaluating the outer, middle and inner ear across different noise environments. It tells us the cause of a hearing problem, how severe it is, and what can be done.
- You ask people to repeat themselves, or turn the TV up more than others would
- Conversations in restaurants and meetings are hard to follow
- Someone close to you has mentioned it
- You have ringing in your ears, or one ear sounds different to the other
- You want a baseline before it becomes a problem. Prevention comes before treatment.
What you leave with
- An audiogram of both ears, explained
- The likely cause and the severity
- Clear options, including when nothing needs to be done yet
- A referral to your GP or an ENT if something medical needs looking at
What happens
Step by step.
We talk first
What you are noticing, when it started, your health and your work, and what you want to get back to.
I look in your ears
A check of the ear canal and eardrum before any testing, so nothing simple is missed.
The booth
Tones and speech, one ear at a time, in quiet and in noise. It measures the outer, middle and inner ear.
Your results, together
I walk you through your audiogram in plain language and we talk about the options that fit your hearing, your life and your budget.
Questions
Good to know.
What happens in a diagnostic hearing test?
We talk about what you are noticing, I look in your ears, and then you are tested in a soundproof booth. The test evaluates your outer, middle and inner ear across different noise environments, and we go through the results together.
Do I need a hearing test before getting hearing aids?
Yes. The hearing aid I recommend is based on the cause and severity of your hearing loss, and only a diagnostic hearing test tells us that.
