Introduction
Your appointment will last up to 1 hour. During this time the Audiologist will perform:
- Ear examination
- Hearing test (Audiogram)
After discussing the results of your hearing test in full, the Audiologist will take the appropriate action to address any hearing difficulties that you may have been experiencing. This may involve:
- Adjustment (fine tuning) of your current hearing aid(s)
- Fitting of new hearing aid(s)
- New earmould(s)
- Assessing how much speech and/or sound the hearing aid(s) can provide
- Taking measurements from your hearing aid(s) to record how they are working
- Information on assistive listening devices for help with the telephone or television
- Advice on listening tactics
- Referral to other speciality i.e. Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) or Hearing Therapy
If you need new earmould(s), an impression of your ear will be taken during the appointment.
If you require new hearing aid(s), these may be fitted on the same day; however, it may be necessary that a further appointment is booked for this.
