A Step-by-Step Guide to Your Hearing Assessment

Let’s walk through what you can expect during your hearing assessment:

• Your Consultation: Your appointment will typically last around an hour. You’re welcome to bring a friend or relative for support.
• Understanding Your History: We’ll take a detailed history of any hearing difficulties you’ve been experiencing. We’ll also enquire about your general health and lifestyle to gain a holistic understanding of your needs.
• Thorough Examination: One of our experienced audiologists will conduct a comprehensive assessment, which includes:
  • Visually examining the ears and auditory canal.
  • Carrying out a full audiometric hearing assessment to evaluate your hearing sensitivity across different frequencies.
  • Testing the health and function of the eardrum and middle ear using tympanometry.
• Discussing the Findings: Once we have all the necessary information, we will discuss the results with you in a clear and understandable way. We’ll provide impartial expert advice on the solutions available to suit your specific needs.

Comprehensive Diagnostic Assessment

The diagnostic hearing assessment performed at Lakeland Hearing is a fully comprehensive battery of tests. Performed by our expert team in a controlled environment with limited background noise, this assessment is designed to identify issues with hearing and across the wider hearing system. This thorough testing helps us to identify not only hearing loss but also potential issues related to excessive ear wax, middle ear disorders, and other underlying conditions.

Beyond the Assessment: Support and Onward Referral

Should you require an onward referral to your GP or an ENT (ear, nose, and throat) doctor, we can help facilitate this process. We also have strong links with the Hypatia Clinic to provide support for any clients experiencing dizziness or balance problems.

If you have any questions or are ready to schedule your hearing assessment, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re here to support you every step of the way.
