 Hearing Tests
Hearing tests are quick – less than 1 hour usually, painless, and quite comfortable because they are non-intrusive. The results of listening to sounds through headphones for example, allows a registered Audiologist to analyse the type and extent of hearing loss using sophisticated computer software.
The tests take place in a sound-treated environment and measure the ear’s ability to hear pure sounds; speech testing is done to check your understanding of words at different sound levels. Also checked is the ear’s conductive performance.
If you were referred to the Audiologist by a health professional, your written test results will be sent to the doctor or medical specialist.
The Hearing Test fee may be covered by your medical insurance policy, in full or in part or by Accident Compensation Corporation, or other government assistance program. Your Audiologist can advise you on checking what you are entitled to.
To arrange an appointment for a Hearing Test, simply contact Lifestyle Audiology. It isn’t necessary to be referred by your doctor.
