When you contact us, we will determine the most suitable hearing check for you. Let’s take a look at what happens at a full test with a clinician. |

A clinician will begin by asking you about your hearing health history. This can help the clinician better tailor a hearing solution to your individual needs. |

This discussion is followed by a visual ear examination. Your clinician will check for any earwax blockages or other irregularities. |

Now you will undertake the hearing test. This includes a series of tests – such as listening to tones, speech and middle ear tests. These tests measure various elements of your hearing and help us to gain a thorough understanding of your hearing abilities and ear health. |

Upon completion of your hearing test, you will get same-day test results. Your clinician will discuss your results with you and provide a recommendation where appropriate. |

Take the first step to better hearing by scheduling an appointment. There is no risk, cost or obligation involved. It is completely free of charge.
Bring a close friend or family member to your first appointment
It is generally very helpful to bring a person with a familiar voice to your hearing assessment. It helps the hearing care expert to see how well you understand the words spoken by a close friend or loved one. This helps your hearing care expert understand how well you hear everyday speech.
In addition, it can help to have a friendly face and calming voice at your first appointment. You’ll typically get more out of your visit if someone close to you can share the experience. Plus, your loved one will have a better understanding of some of the challenges involved with your hearing loss and can help to articulate some of the challenges that you might not be aware of.
