During the test, we will conduct a series of assessments to understand your hearing abilities and identify any potential issues. Here’s what to expect:
 

•  Case History: First, we will discuss your medical history with you and ask questions about any specific concerns, symptoms, or exposure to loud noises you may have experienced. This will help me better understand your hearing health and tailor the test to your needs.
  
  
•  Examination: Next, we will visually inspect your ears using an otoscope. This allows me to check for any visible abnormalities or blockages, such as excessive earwax or structural issues. This part of the examination is quick and painless.
  
  
•  Pure-Tone Audiometry Hearing Test: For this test, you will wear headphones, and I will play a series of tones at different frequencies and volumes. You will indicate when you hear the tones by pressing a button or raising your hand. This helps me determine the softest sounds you can hear at different frequencies. It’s a simple test, and I will guide you through each step.
  
  I will be there with you the whole time to explain each part of the process and answer any questions you may have. If you have any concerns or need further clarification before the appointment, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m here to help you every step of the way.
   

Hearing loss can significantly impact your quality of life, making it important to recognise the symptoms early. Understanding these signs can help you seek timely intervention and maintain your ability to communicate effectively. Here are some common symptoms of hearing loss to be aware of: 

•  Difficulty understanding speech: especially in noisy environments or when multiple people are talking.
  
  
•  Frequently asking others to repeat themselves: You might find yourself saying "What?" or "Can you say that again?" often.
  
  
•  Struggling to hear high-pitched sounds or consonant sounds (e.g., "s," "sh," "f"): Certain sounds may become difficult to distinguish.
  
  
•  Increasing the volume on devices: Needing to turn up the TV or radio louder than usual.
  
  
•  Struggling to hear phone conversations: Finding it hard to understand the person on the other end.
  
  
•  Avoiding social situations: Feeling frustrated or embarrassed about not being able to hear well.
  
  
•  Ringing in the ears: Experiencing tinnitus, which is a ringing, buzzing, or hissing sound in the ears.
  
  
•  Muffled hearing: Sounds may seem less clear as if they are muffled.
  
  
•  Missing environmental sounds: Not hearing every day sounds like doorbells, alarms, or birds chirping.
  

If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to get a hearing test to assess your hearing health.
