Hear Better, Live Better: Discover Your Hearing Potential with Our Comprehensive Assessment
We do hearing tests to not only screen for hearing loss but also identify and treat a wide range of ear conditions such as tinnitus, ear blocks, infections, and even vertigo - an imbalance caused by issues within the inner or middle ear.
Here at Sukhmani a qualified audiologist will perform tests depending on your needs. This would include a visual examination of your ear, a tympanometry test to evaluate the state of your middle ear, speech testing, and pure tone testing.
Why is a hearing assessment important?
A hearing assessment is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, it helps identify any potential hearing loss or impairment early on, allowing for timely intervention and management. Early detection can prevent further deterioration of hearing abilities and improve outcomes with appropriate treatment options. Additionally, a hearing assessment provides valuable insights into overall ear health, identifying any underlying conditions that may require medical attention. Ultimately, by understanding your hearing capabilities through assessment, you can take proactive steps to maintain optimal hearing health and enhance your quality of life.
A typical hearing assessment usually lasts between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the complexity of the evaluation and individual needs. Our team ensures thoroughness while respecting your time, striving to make the process as efficient and comfortable as possible.
While hearing assessments are beneficial for individuals of all ages, it's particularly important for adults over the age of 50 to undergo regular evaluations, as age-related hearing loss becomes more prevalent with advancing years. However, if you suspect any changes in your hearing abilities regardless of age, it's advisable to schedule an assessment promptly.
During a hearing assessment, you can expect a series of tests designed to evaluate different aspects of your hearing abilities. This may include pure-tone audiometry, speech audiometry, tympanometry, and other specialized tests as needed. Our experienced audiologists will guide you through each step of the process, ensuring your comfort and understanding throughout.
While a hearing assessment can identify the presence and degree of hearing loss, it may not always pinpoint the exact cause. However, it serves as a crucial first step in understanding your auditory health. If further investigation into the underlying cause is necessary, our team can provide referrals to appropriate specialists for additional evaluation and treatment.
