THE HEARING TEST

Are you ready for a hearing test?

Some people who have a nagging suspicion about their hearing will delay a hearing test for a variety of reasons. It is important to know that if your hearing test exposes a hearing loss, there are solutions. By evaluating your specific hearing loss, our hearing care professionals can put you on a path that can result in an improved rhythm of life with better communication and fewer frustrations in noisy environments.

The hearing test has four simple steps:

  1. the consultation and hearing history
  2. an outer ear examination
  3. testing / analysis of hearing thresholds and speech recognition
  4. further counselling and recommendations
