Why people enquire

Signs that lead residents to book an audiologist

Conversations in busy places become tiring because background noise drowns out individual voices. An audiologist identifies which frequencies have dropped and whether amplification would help.

Ringing or buzzing in one or both ears disrupts sleep and concentration. The specialist checks for wax impaction, infection or sensorineural changes causing the sound.

Family members mention the television volume has crept up over recent months. A hearing test pinpoints whether the loss is gradual and age-related or sudden.

A persistent feeling of fullness in the ear that does not clear after swallowing often points to trapped wax pressing against the eardrum.

The appointment

What happens during a visit to the audiologist

Case history
The audiologist asks about medical conditions, medications, noise exposure at work and any family history of hearing difficulty to build context for the tests.
Otoscopy
A lighted instrument lets the specialist look inside the ear canal for wax blockages, inflammation or perforations before any sounds are played.
Pure tone audiometry
You listen to tones at different pitches through headphones and press a button each time you hear one, mapping the quietest sounds each ear detects.
Speech testing
Words are played at comfortable and soft volumes to measure how clearly you distinguish speech rather than just detecting pure tones.

What you receive after the appointment

The audiologist records every measurement taken during the session and writes a summary explaining what the numbers mean for daily life at home.

  • Audiogram

    A graph plotting the softest sounds heard at each pitch, showing exactly where hearing falls outside the normal range for your age.

  • Written report

    A plain-language summary of findings, noting whether wax, fluid or nerve changes account for the difficulty you described.

  • Recommendations

    Clear next steps, such as scheduling a follow-up, fitting a hearing aid or arranging further medical assessment if needed.
