Hearing Tests
A hearing test is a simple, non-invasive procedure used to evaluate an individual's hearing ability. The test typically involves listening to various sounds or tones through headphones. The purpose of the hearing test is to identify any hearing loss, determine its severity, and pinpoint the specific frequencies affected.
At Always Ear both Abi and Johanna are experienced Audiologists and assess how well a person can hear sounds at different pitches and volumes from the test results, providing valuable information to diagnose hearing impairments that would benefit from hearing instruments or assistive devices to improve communication and quality of life.
A hearing test is important for people of all ages, especially for those who experience difficulty hearing or suspect they may have a hearing problem or it maybe that others often tell them they can't hear well or have the television volume louder than others.
Early detection and intervention can prevent further hearing damage and ensure better long-term auditory health.
