Hearing TESTS

your complete hearing health assessment at easi-ear hearing clinic

  • Do you feel your hearing loss isn’t severe enough to get it tested?
  • Are you concerned that hearing tests are uncomfortable or painful?
  • Are you unsure who to choose for your hearing test?

EasiEar has the solution with comprehensive hearing tets.

do you need a hearing test?

When you contact Easi-Ear, we will book your hearing appointment. This test is a comprehensive audiology evaluation that gives us a precise profile of your hearing ability.

A professional hearing test assesses how well you’re hearing things in different environments and helps us to identify early signs of hearing loss and the best way to help you.
We do these hearing tests because if you want to hear better, we first need to understand what you’re missing. Perhaps it’s a mild hearing loss that we can easily compensate for by adjusting various settings in your hearing aid.

We do this through various audiometry tests, which provide a detailed picture of your hearing.

Hearing tests are simple, pain-free, non-invasive, and easy to complete

During the free hearing test, we’ll ask questions to further understand our hearing problems and where you might need support (e.g., sports events, social occasions, watching television, listening to music). This allows us to personalise the hearing tests to the areas where you need the most support.

You may find that your hearing test reveals you just have ear wax! We can help with this, too, so please don’t worry.

Our HEARING TEST PROCESS

  1. PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: The first step of a hearing test is a physical examination and we’ll also ask about your general health and lifestyle. PERHAPS A BIT MORE FROM IAN ON THIS PART…
  2. AUDIOGRAM TEST: A more detailed hearing healthcare check is an audiogram test. Your assessment begins with an audiogram, where we examine your hearing abilities so we can understand your unique hearing needs. Performs a hearing test to identify common problems and to assess you for potential hearing issues. Sometimes it will be straightforward, like an ear wax build up, for example.
  3. DIAGNOSTIC TEST If, after completing an examination, we find that your hearing difficulties are more complex, then we perform a full diagnostic test and use the results to determine if hearing aids are the most practical next step.
  4. NEXT STEPS: From there, we’ll discuss next steps around whether you need hearing aids or simply ear wax extraction. Either way we have you covered with our hearing services.

HEARING TESTS frequently asked questions

What are the three types of hearing tests?

Different types of hearing tests include Pure-Tone Audiometry, Speech Audiometry, and the Tympanometry test. The different tests show how you hear different pitches and tones, measure how you hear voices, and assess how your eardrum moves to help diagnose middle-ear problems.

Do I need a referral to see an audiologist?

As a private UK patient, you don’t need a referral for hearing tests. If you are an NHS patient, then your GP can arrange a free referral, but the waiting lists are extremely long.

What are the signs that I might need a hearing test?

Common signs include needing to turn up the radio or TV, struggling to hear phone calls or conversations, or asking people to repeat themselves, especially when there is background noise. You may also experience tinnitus, which causes ringing and buzzing sounds in your ears and can indicate hearing loss.

Are hearing tests painful?

Hearing tests aren’t painful, but if you feel any discomfort during one, you should mention it to your audiologist.

How accurate are hearing tests?

Provided they’re conducted by an audiologist, then hearing tests are extremely accurate.

How often should I have a hearing test?

If you’re over 50, it’s recommended that you have a hearing test once a year to test for age-related hearing loss. However, regardless of your age, if you notice any degree of hearing loss, you should contact a hearing specialist.

What should I bring to my hearing test appointment?

Bring any current hearing aids and a list of medications you’re taking. You might also find it helpful to write down any specific concerns you have about your hearing and questions you want to ask.

Can hearing tests detect other ear-related issues?

Yes. Hearing tests help find ear infections, discover fluid in the middle ear, and find earwax blockages. They can also detect problems with the auditory nerve.

What happens after the hearing test if I need treatment?

Your audiologist will explain the different options. If you’re hearing loss is caused by infection or an ear wax buildup, these conditions are easily managed.

For permanent, severe hearing loss, your audiologist can discuss different models of hearing aids and which would be best suited to you. A referral to an ENT specialist may be needed for more complex conditions.

Can hearing loss be improved with treatment?

It depends on the cause. If an infection causes your hearing loss, for example, this can be treated with antibiotics. Conditions like otosclerosis and acoustic neuroma can be treated with surgery,

If you have permanent hearing loss, then using hearing aids will amplify sounds and improve your hearing.

What should I do if I only need occasional hearing support?

Alternatives like assisted hearing devices reduce background noise and help you hear radio and television better. They’re also helpful if you struggle to hear in noisy environments.

How much does a hearing test cost?

In the UK, you can get a free hearing test, but some private providers charge a set fee.

What should I expect during a hearing test?

Typically, a hearing health specialist will start by taking your medical history and discussing your hearing concerns. Following this, your audiologist will carry out an hearing exam. They’ll also perform tests such as testing different pitches, speech tests, and middle ear tests.

Will a hearing aid completely restore my hearing?

Hearing aids don’t restore normal hearing, but they will amplify it. Additionally, people with profound hearing loss may get less benefit from them. In cases like this, cochlear implants may be a viable option.

How do I know if I need a hearing aid?

You may have noticed that you’re missing key parts of conversations or misunderstanding them or finding it difficult to hear telephone conversations. Another sign is needing to turn the radio or television up louder. These are often early signs that you may have developed some hearing loss.
