It’s no secret that to maintain healthy eyecare, it’s vital to receive regular eye examinations. Sadly, when it comes to looking after our hearing, many people don’t approach it with the same level of importance.

Get the best from your hearing device

​

If you’re an existing hearing device wearer, Amplify Hearing provides a complimentary service check to ensure your hearing device is still working efficiently. This can be as straight forward as removing wax or obstructions to the microphone inlet, adjustment and cleaning of battery contacts, volume control and calibration check and word tests to check how clearly you hear.

Your hearing loss

​

If you think your hearing may have deteriorated, it is important to have it checked professionally as soon as possible. The more your hearing ability declines, the more you will be asking a hearing device system to do in order to compensate.

If the audiologist suspects that you may have a condition that requires medical attention, they will advise you to see an appropriate medical specialist but in all cases a visit to our audiologist will provide answers to your questions and offer you a choice of solutions.

 

What happens during my hearing assessment?

 

During your appointment, your audiologist will measure your ability to hear different levels of sounds at various frequencies or pitch of tone. These are played through the headphones and your responses are recorded on what is called an audiogram. A basic word recognition score is also obtained to assess how your ability to communicate is being affected by your hearing.
