Common signs
When to get your hearing checked
Small changes in what you hear often go unnoticed until they start affecting daily life. These are the moments people tend to book.
- Turning the TV up You keep raising the volume while others in the room hear enough.
- Missing words in pubs Background noise drowns out conversations even when someone speaks directly to you.
- Ringing or buzzing A constant tone stays in your ears after the surrounding noise stops.
- Blocked feeling Your ear feels full and sounds seem muffled after a cold or swim.
What happens
How the appointment works
- Arrival and history
- The audiologist asks about your health, any noise exposure from work and the specific moments you first noticed a change in your hearing.
- Testing in a quiet booth
- You wear headphones and respond to tones at different pitches. The specialist records the softest sounds you can detect in each ear separately.
- Discussing the results
- The audiologist shows you a chart of your hearing, explains what the numbers mean and talks through whether you need treatment or further checks.
- Planning next steps
- If you need hearing aids or wax removal, the specialist arranges that follow-up appointment before you leave the clinic.
