Hearing loss often
develops slowly, and many people don’t notice it until it starts affecting conversations, confidence, or daily enjoyment. A comprehensive hearing assessment gives you a clear picture of your hearing health and helps prevent small issues from becoming major frustrations.

Who should get a hearing test?
Anyone who struggles to hear conversations, turns up the TV volume, or asks others to repeat themselves should book a hearing test. Adults over 50 are also encouraged to have their hearing checked regularly, even if no obvious problems are present.
How often should I have my hearing tested?
Most adults should have their hearing tested every 3–5 years. If you work in noisy environments, already wear hearing aids, or notice sudden changes in hearing, you should be tested sooner or as recommended by your audiologist.
What are common signs that I might need a hearing test?
Frequent asking for repetition, trouble following conversations in groups, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), or feeling that people mumble are common warning signs. These can indicate hearing loss or other auditory issues that need assessment.
Can I get a hearing test even if I don’t think I have hearing loss?
Yes, preventive hearing tests are important. Hearing loss often develops gradually, and early detection helps prevent further decline. Many clinics offer quick screenings to catch subtle changes before they affect daily life.
Who performs a hearing test?
Hearing tests are conducted by licensed audiologists or hearing care professionals. They use specialized equipment to measure your hearing levels and help determine the best next steps for your hearing health.
