What to expect at your free hearing test

Your free hearing assessment will be completely personalised to you and your current requirements. 

Discretion Hearing Ltd Southport pride ourselves in being 100% independent, meaning our audiologist can use his experience gained over 30 years to offer you the best treatment and advice. 

The hearing test can be carried out in our central Southport premises, or in your own home meaning it’s easier than ever to have your hearing assessed. 

Your free hearing test will usually take around an hour to complete and will include: 

Visual Inspection

First our highly trained audiologist will visually examine your ears using an otoscope. This handheld device allows him to check the condition of your ear canal and eardrum.

He will check for any medical conditions that may be causing any hearing loss and will advise on this, referring to ENT specialists if required. He will also check for any ear wax build up. 

Ear wax can build up and be compacted by using cotton buds etc and this may cause changes in hearing. If required, Discretion Hearing Ltd Southport offer an earwax removal service using the latest microsuction techniques

Hearing Test

Once the visual inspection has been completed, it’s time for the main test which may include:

  • Tone Test: This test is used to check your thresholds for hearing at various audio frequencies and gives our audiologist a better idea of which part of the ear may be affecting your hearing.
  • Speech Test: This test will look at how well you are able to recognise, and sometimes repeat, spoken words. This test can also be used to check the upper limits of your comfortable hearing.

Discussion

Upon completion of the free hearing test, the audiologist will discuss your results with you, offering unbiased advice on what your next steps should be on your hearing journey. 

Any medical treatment required will be discussed fully and referrals can be made. You may require re-evaluation at a later date or some people may require hearing aids. 

If this is the case, as Discretion Hearing ltd are 100% independent, we offer the widest range of hearing aid solutions from all suppliers, meaning we can advise on and find you the best hearing aids suitable for your needs.
