Here at Elite Hearing Services our Audiologists carry out a FREE Hearing test, with no obligation to purchase any of the hearing aids that we recommend. we even offer a ‘try before you buy service’, so if not happy you can return them.
Your Hearing Case History
You will be asked to identify any symptoms that you might have noticed, such as hearing difficulties in certain situations, how long it has been happening, whether you are feeling dizzy and so on. This will help the audiologist to make an initial assessment based on symptoms, which will lead him to carry out certain tests.
Audiological Assessment
This will scientifically establish whether or not there is a hearing loss, if it is temporary or permanent, what type of loss there is and the level of the hearing loss. The assessment is not painful or invasive and involves both audio and visual assessment from the audiologist.
Further Tests
There are other types of tests that can be carried out depending on the symptoms and the individual in question, which are normally conducted in a hospital or a clinic. For example, An oto-acoustic emissions exam measures whether the hairs on the cochlea are functioning correctly; while a balance assessment is used to diagnose problems with dizziness and nausea.
