Consultation to solution
In order to fully understand the difficulties you face and to establish possible solutions to suit your needs, it is important to carry out a thorough evaluation. We encourage you to bring a close friend or relative along to this appointment.
Consultation to solution
Initial evaluation
If you’re unsure what is causing your hearing difficulties then we can arrange an initial consultation. This can take place free of charge over the phone or by video chat. A clinic consultation with us is £20 for a half-hour appointment.
During this appointment we may:
- Discuss your specific hearing issues, areas where you’re looking for improvement, and other information that may help us find the best possible solution.
- Examine your ears using our wireless hi-resolution Video-Otoscope camera to check for wax or any abnormalities.
- Offer an initial hearing screening check to establish if you may have a hearing loss.
- Recommend further action or treatment.
Full hearing test and assessment
We allow 60-90 minutes for this appointment, during which we will thoroughly examine your ears. Following a discussion of your hearing problems, the lifestyle situations which cause particular difficulties and the improvements you would like to achieve, we will carry out a full hearing test using pure tone audiometry to establish the type and degree of hearing loss. Further tests may also be carried out if necessary.
Once your assessment is complete, we will explain the results and discuss the possible solutions available to you. This will include whether hearing aids are required and their likely benefit to you, or if other courses of action are necessary, such as further investigation by your GP or an ENT Consultant.
What next?
If our assessment shows that hearing aids are necessary, then the next step will be the fitting and trial period.
If you are unsure whether hearing aids would benefit you, we can offer a completely free hearing aid trial so that you can try them out with no obligation and no commitment.
