Full Hearing Assessments in Christchurch
Full Hearing Assessments in Christchurch
A hearing assessment provides a clear picture of your current hearing health and helps identify whether hearing loss is present and is affecting your everyday life.
At Better Hearing Co., every hearing assessment in Christchurch begins with a conversation about your hearing, hearing health, general health and the situations you may be experiencing difficulty in.
People often feel as though they hear well in quiet, face to face settings but may have trouble following conversations, hearing in background noise, understanding television or noticing softer sounds. You may also feel that people are mumbling or just find listening more tiring than it used to be.
Your appointment may include:
- A medical history and discussion of your hearing concerns and
- Examination of your ear canals and eardrums with an otoscope
- Pure tone Audiometry to test the softest tones you can hear
- Immittance testing to check the health and function of the middle ear system
- Speech discrimination testing
- Speech in Noise testing if required
- An explanation of your results
- Practical recommendations based on your needs
Your results will be clearly explained, including whether your hearing is within the expected range or whether further support may be helpful. If a medical issue is suspected, we can recommend that you consult your GP or another appropriate healthcare professional.
Not everyone who books a hearing assessment needs hearing aids. Depending on your results, the most appropriate next step may be monitoring your hearing, communication advice, medical referral or a discussion about available hearing solutions.
As an independent hearing clinic, Better Hearing Co. provides personalised and unrushed audiology services. Our aim is to help you understand your hearing test results so that you can make an informed decision about your hearing care.
