Hearing Evaluations
A comprehensive hearing assessment will provide us with detailed insights into your hearing health, challenges and requirements.
The hearing evaluation adds to the information we have from a Hearing Health Check. The hour long appointment is very thorough. We will share the results with you, in language that you can understand, be it at home or in our hearing clinic.
Our approach is caring, friendly and empathetic. We will listen. You will have a chance to express how you feel about your hearing and communication challenges and let us know what it is that you need and want. Most importantly, we will have a chance to learn about you and your hearing.
Hearing evaluations are a critical part of maintaining good hearing health, and at our clinic, we take this process very seriously. Our comprehensive hearing evaluations are thorough and take about an hour to complete. During the evaluation, we will listen to your concerns about your hearing and communication challenges.
It’s ideal if you can bring a family member or friend with you to the appointment as this helps us build a more detailed picture of your hearing needs, leading to improved communication and better advice, even if you took no further action. Having support can help you to make a well-informed decision. So you won’t have to repeat everything you have learned about your hearing when you get home.
The cost of the full hearing evaluation is £60, which includes a comprehensive hearing assessment, speech in noise test, and a detailed report. This fee is included in the price of the hearing aids we supply, making it a convenient and cost-effective solution for those in need.
Understanding
It’s about you and why you are having a full hearing test evaluation. Understanding how you feel about your hearing is very important. No one can place themselves in your shoes. As such, your hearing is probably normal for you.
(If you have had a sudden change in your hearing, you should seek urgent medical advice.)
Medical Record
We will record information regarding your ear and overall health. During this process, we utilise a video camera to inspect your ear canal and gather information about your medical history, medications and ear health.
Testing
The actual hearing and speech in noise test. We will find out how you hear with each ear. We will get an understanding of just how efficient ears are in delivering sound vibrations to the nerve of your ear as well as how well you understand a foreign accent when it is noisy.
Results evaluation
We strive to assist you in comprehending your test results effectively. Using our demonstration hearing aids to evaluate your prescription, we can illustrate what you’ve been missing in terms of hearing. This enables us to suggest suitable solutions within your budget that you can trial in your everyday environments.
The next step
If a hearing aid is what you need, then having time to decide what you should do is important. There are 3 choices. Do nothing, go see your GP, or test a hearing aid solution.
