What Happens in a Hearing Test?

The thought of going for a hearing test might be daunting, not because of the process but because of what you might find out. There are few people who actually want hearing aids but treating your hearing loss can improve your brain health, productivity at work, quality of life and connecting with your loved ones.

1. We first have a discussion about your general health, your hearing and lifestyle.

2. The test itself is very easy and painless. Your ears will be examined for any blockages along the ear canals and if your eardrums are moving well in response to sound. You then sit in the sound booth with headphones and listen to beeps of varied loudness levels and pitch. You will be asked to repeat some words.
