Hearing Tests Across Hurstville & Miranda, NSW
When you don’t know why can’t suddenly hear clearly, the sound is muffled, the ear feels clogged, or your ears are ringing, visit our audiologists because if symptoms grow worse they might lead to hearing loss. We will run hearing tests to diagnose and treat the problem.
If you are one of those people who use Google to self-diagnose the problem, it can do more harm than good. You could be experiencing hearing loss due to age, genetics, injury, ear blockage, tinnitus, or any other ear problem. A professional is better equipped to diagnose it.
How Do We Test Hearing?
Our hearing test for adults involves a range of different procedures that a certified specialist will perform to gauge the extent of damage.
First, we take comprehensive ear health and hearing history to understand the extent of hearing issues. Then we conduct one of these hearing tests according to the patient’s history:
- Otoscopy – looking in the ear for obstructions or infections.
- Tympanometry – tests the middle ear system for any blockages.
- Air conduction – headphone testing of the main ten speech tones from 250Hz to 8000Hz.
- Bone conduction – vibrating headband to directly test the inner ear to verify if your hearing loss is permanent or temporary.
- Speech testing – present a list of words at varying volumes to assess your speech discrimination.
After we run the tests, we discuss the results and recommendations with you and send the written report to the GP, speech pathologist, specialist, etc.
Adequate time is allowed so all your questions can be answered.
If the results indicate a hearing aid would be beneficial, an in-depth discussion will be offered if you want to try a hearing aid.
