Hearing Test

Hearing Tests

We would be delighted to welcome patients to the Brigg Hearing Studio for a fully comprehensive Hearing Consultation. We would suggest allowing around 60 to 90 minutes and always encourage you to be accompanied by a relative or friend who can support you and provide us with additional information during the lifestyle element of the consultation.

Once Sam our fully qualified Audiologist has conducted a thorough assessment of your ears he will then conduct pure tone audiometry, this is a non-invasive test that identifies the quietest sounds you can hear at a wide range of frequencies in our purpose built sound proof enclosure.

Our Audiologist will then explain the audiogram to you, going through the severity of the hearing problem and these hearing problems could be improved.

If the results show significant hearing loss that requires amplification via hearing aids, Sam will take you through a wide range of hearing aid options and provide you with a ‘technology demonstration’ in our specially designed environment where we can recreate the most challenging hearing situations to show how hearing aids can really improve quality of life for patients.

You will then be provided with a full report of the results which will include images of the ear and your audiogram along with any recommendations made for hearing aids.
