What to expect
Step 1: Consultation
After entering the clinic room, the appointment will begin by discussing a bit about you and your hearing.
Your Audiologist will ask questions such as previous medical conditions and where your hearing loss is most noticeable to gain context about your hearing history.
Step 2: The Test
The test is straightforward and nothing to be nervous about.
While wearing headphones in our soundproof Audiometry booth, you will be played a series of tones at different frequencies and asked to respond when you hear one by simply pressing a button.
Step 3: Your Results
Following the test, your Audiologist will identify your hearing loss and explain your results.
Using these results and context gained from the consultation, you will be recommended the most suitable hearing aid treatment option based on your individual needs.
Levels of Hearing Loss
Your level of hearing loss determines your hearing thresholds: the more profound the loss, the greater the difficulty in hearing and the higher the likelihood of needing assistive devices like hearing aids or techniques such as lip-reading.
