Signs to watch
When to book a hearing test
Hearing changes slowly, so the first signs are easy to dismiss as background noise or tiredness.
- Asking people to repeat You catch yourself saying pardon more often than you used to in conversation.
- Turning up the volume The television needs to be louder now for you to follow dialogue clearly.
- Struggling in busy rooms Background chatter makes it hard to pick out the person sitting opposite you.
- Ringing in your ears A constant buzzing or humming sound that stays when the room is quiet.
What happens during your appointment
The audiologist follows a set routine so nothing is missed. You stay awake and comfortable throughout, and you can ask questions at any point.
- A conversation about your hearing
- The audiologist asks about the situations where you notice a problem, such as busy shops or family meals. This helps them focus the test on the frequencies that matter most to you.
- Looking inside your ears
- Before any testing begins, the audiologist checks your ear canal and eardrum with a small light. They look for wax, fluid, or anything else that might affect how sound travels.
- The hearing test itself
- You wear headphones while the audiologist plays tones at different pitches and volumes. You press a button each time you hear one. The whole process takes around twenty minutes.
- Going through the results
- The audiologist plots your responses on a chart called an audiogram. They explain what the shape means, whether your hearing falls within the normal range, and if a hearing aid would help.
