Hearing Assessment

A detailed medical history is taken together with discussion about communication difficulties affecting your lifestyle.

A full examination of the outer ear is carried out to establish the medical condition of the outer ear, ear canals and eardrums, to check if any abnormalities are present. This may be done using a video otoscope.

The hearing assessment consists of the presentation of puretones at various frequencies by both air and bone conduction.

NOAH software is used to create an audiogram through a computer. The software will go on to produce a prescription, this being the recommended level of amplification.

Further applicable tests may also be carried out. An explanation of the
results is given and any recommendations are discussed.
