Your ear is remarkable
It can take minute vibrations in the air and convert them to incredibly detailed electrical signals which our brains turn into meaningful sounds. Your hearing can bring you to tears, set your heart racing, or send your skin awash with goosebumps. Research tells us that maintaining good hearing is one of the most critical fundamental factors in maximising your quality of life.
Your hearing is precious so, if you have concerns about your hearing, don’t rely on a shopping centre screening test. Get a comprehensive test from a qualified audiologist.
What happens during my hearing test?
We start by taking the time to understand your concerns. We want to know what you can hear, what you cant, and how it impacts you.
The big picture
Using high definition video otoscopy, we capture clear images of your ear canal and ear drum to help you understand any issues in the outer ear. These images are provided to your referring doctor so that they can see how your ear drums looked on the day or our assessment.
These high definition images are combined our middle ear function tests to provide a comprehensive assessment of how the outer and middle parts of your ears are functioning.
Beep beep
Next we tests the softest sounds that you can hear, through headphones and via bone conduction.
The final part of the hearing assessment is to see how clearly you are hearing. To do that we use standardised speech tests, where you hear a word or a sentence and repeat what you think was said.
What’s next?
Your hearing test alone may give you the answers youre looking for, but sometimes further help might be needed. For kids, that may be a referral on to an ENT surgeon, paediatrician or speech pathologist. For our adult clients, we are industry leading experts across all aspects of adult hearing rehabilitation.
We look forward to
hearing from you
