Hearing tests
Full diagnostic hearing tests
A hearing test here is a clinical assessment, not a five-minute screen designed to produce a sales conversation. We begin with your history and the specific situations you find difficult, then examine both ears with a video otoscope so you can see the canal and eardrum for yourself.
Pure-tone audiometry maps your thresholds by air conduction across the full range and by bone conduction at the frequencies that matter, which is how a conductive component is identified. Tympanometry then measures eardrum movement and middle-ear pressure — the test that reveals glue ear or eustachian tube dysfunction — and speech audiometry establishes how well you actually understand words.
Everything is explained as we go, and you leave with a written audiogram. There is no cost beyond the £150 assessment fee for discussing what the results mean.
