Hearing Tests

A hearing test is performed to detect, measure and diagnose hearing loss. The testing typically takes about 45 minutes to one hour to complete, and it is designed to give a full picture of the extent of an individual’s hearing issues.

Following a visual examination of the ears for blockages (e.g. earwax, foreign objects), we’ll ask a variety of questions to establish a case history. Then, a variety of hearing tests will be performed to determine the sensitivity of hearing across the full range of speech. Ability to hear sounds is measured in multiple ways: volume/level (in decibels) and pitch/frequency are just a couple of the many tests performed.

We’ll communicate the audiogram to you and your loved one(s) and we’ll send a copy of this to your family doctor with a full explanation in a report to them. If further follow-up is needed medically, your family doctor/or specialist will follow up with you. If you are a candidate for hearing aids, this is determined after medical clearance has been determined. As a Registered Hearing Aid Practitioner, we can source, fit and provide adjustments/repair/maintenance with proper care and use of your hearing aids.

Our hearing tests are performed from our Mobile Hearing Centre. We come to you! It’s less stressful and very convenient.
