What kind of appointment do I need?

A screening check is ideal for those who feel they are experiencing very little difficulty with their hearing, do not currently wear hearing aids and simply want to know their hearing levels.

A full hearing test is for those who are experiencing notable hearing difficulties (or have been told by a loved one they are), and/or wear hearing aids already and want further improvement.

Full hearing test - What to expect

Your Audiologist will discuss your hearing history to understand what has influenced your hearing and to get more information about your personal needs. In addition to this, a hearing exam will be conducted. The appointment may also include a listening experience with hearing devices, if appropriate. After your Audiologist has interpreted the results, he will explain them to your clearly, and discuss with you the next steps.
