Hear Clear Australia offers full diagnostic hearing assessments at all of clinics. Our hearing clinics are equipped with the latest technology diagnostics equipment .
A comprehensive diagnostic hearing assessment is conducted in a sound proof booth by our clinician. The clinician will ask you a hearing history prior to the assessment to understand why you require a hearing assessment and if there are any risk factors to hearing or balance issues. The clinician will first check your ears with an otoscope, to ensure there are no abnormalities that may be contributing to hearing issues, as well as to check for a build-up of wax. The audiologist will also perform what is called tympanometry, which will determine how well your eardrum is moving in response to pressure and can help to determine the health of the middle part of your ear. The hearing test itself is then started.
The clinician will place headphones on you, and you will press a button every time you hear a beep, even if it is very soft. The clinician can determine your hearing thresholds this way. They will put bone conductor, which will assess how well you are hearing at the inner ear level.
Once the hearing test is completed clinician will do a speech test, in which you will need to repeat words that you hear. After all of this has been completed, the audiologist will explain the results to you, and give you any recommendations on what is your best next step, whether this be hearing aids to help with your hearing, an assessment by an ENT specialist, or a review hearing assessment in 1-2years.
Our hearing health care professionals are highly trained and experienced, ensuring every client receives a thorough diagnostic hearing test, not just a hearing screen.
