Hearing Tests

Know your hearing, in plain language

A hearing test is simple, painless, and usually takes under an hour. Here's what we offer and what each one involves — your results are always explained by our team, never by a machine.

What to expect

Three things happen at every appointment

1

A short conversation first

We ask what you've noticed — noisy places, the television, family voices — so the test answers the right questions.

2

A comfortable, quiet test

Nothing is painful and nothing is invasive. Most people find it genuinely relaxing.

3

Results you can understand

Your audiogram is explained in plain language, on the day, by the person who tested you.

Your assessment

What happens during a hearing test?

A conversation first, then a series of comfortable listening tasks across the pitch range. You will be shown the equipment, told what each part is for, and given your results in plain language before you leave.
