Hearing Tests

What does a Hearing Test involve?

Hearing tests involve the measurement of a person’s sensitivity to a range of different sounds. Hearing assessment in this manner is a valuable tool in not only the diagnosis of different types of hearing loss, but can also be an indicator to other neural problems.

A typical hearing test involves a subjective response to the presence of a sound which is presented through headphones under appropriate test conditions and usually takes between 15 and 30 minutes depending on the findings.

We offer a full diagnostic hearing test using the most up to date audiometers supplied by the world’s leading provider of hearing assessment systems.

We are available for one-off hearing assessments as well as hearing aid assessments and more regular hearing reviews including occupational monitoring

in accordance with HSE (Health and safety executive) guidelines for noise induced hearing problems.

This test measure’s the middle ear status including the mobility of the ear drum by measuring the effect of changing the air pressure in the ear canal.
