Just answer the four questions below to see whether you should consider getting a hearing test.

Question 1 – Around the table
Do you have trouble following conversations when there are four or more people present?
Have your family or friends suggested that you get your hearing tested?
Do you ever struggle to understand what others are saying because you cannot hear them properly?
Do you find yourself turning up the TV or radio, even when the volume is loud enough for others?

You would benefit from a hearing test

Your answers indicate that you experience symptoms of hearing loss. We strongly recommend booking a hearing test in one of our clinics.

Is your hearing as good as it could be?

Hearing loss can affect you at any age. But one thing is true, no matter how old you are: recognising the signs early will benefit you in the long term. Are you:

  • Asking others to repeat themselves?
  • Having difficulties understanding people on the phone?
  • Being told you’ve got the TV up too loud?

If you can relate to any of the above, you might be suffering from a hearing problem.

Life is worth hearing

Chances are you have never had a hearing test. Or your last hearing test might have been a while ago. Catching hearing loss early could have a profound impact on your quality of life.

Hearing loss can creep up on you without you really knowing, especially the older you get. In fact, 40% of over 50s will have some degree of loss*. The earlier a hearing loss is detected and treated, the better the outcome for the person.

Modern day hearing aid technology means that there are solutions for all levels of hearing loss and lifestyles; from Bluetooth®-enabled aids that stream sound directly from your phone to your ear, some you can barely see and others that can help manage your tinnitus too. So we’re campaigning for you to test your ears at 55 years. It’s that easy.

What happens at a hearing test?

Our hearing care experts will find out about your lifestyle and do a physical examination of your outer ears. Checking for signs of infection or any damage to the eardrums. Next, your hearing will be tested with headphones, you’ll hear a variety of sounds to see how you respond to different pitches and frequencies. We’ll discuss your results straightaway. If we find any hearing loss, we’ll give you advice on the next steps you need to take.

Does it hurt?
Not at all. To look at your eardrum we use an otoscope, that fits just inside your ear. For the audiometer test, you’ll wear a standard set of headphones.

Should I bring someone with me?
Yes, please do. It’s important to bring along a family member so you can hear a familiar voice for a speech clarity test, and for helping you to decide what to do next.
