On attending your appointment I will physical examination your ears, ask some questions about your health and lifestyle and then perform a hearing test. The health and lifestyle discussion will help to ensure any options provided address your concerns.

Solutions to help you hear better can be a combination of management strategies, hearing technology and other assistive listening devices.

 

Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA) is a form of hearing test. Special headphones are placed over your ears. You will be asked to press a button to respond when hearing tones of different pitches and loudness. It is essential you press for every tone heard, even if it is very quiet. If you are having this test because of your dizziness, performing a hearing test can help give more information about the type of condition you are suffering from, influencing the appropriate choice of treatment.  

​

Hearing tests are available for adults (age 19 years and over) as a stand alone test.  These are performed in a soundproof booth.
