Specialist Hearing Tests and Ear Wax Removal In Ashford

We often speak with new clients who have never had their hearing properly checked before or who had assumed that private hearing evaluations were outside of their budget or would never be necessary due to a lack of familial hearing loss or concerns about their ear health.

Across all our teams, we concentrate on sharing education and expertise, equipping clients with the assistance they need to make informed choices about the right options, whether deciding on the right hearing aid, picking a hearing protection device, or determining whether a tinnitus sound therapy treatment would be the optimal solution.

Each hearing test is structured around your concerns and requirements or priorities, but we may suggest some or all of the below tests:

• Video otoscopy: A technological hearing test that uses a tiny camera and enables us to access a live video feed of your eardrum and ear canal, performing a visual examination of the condition of the inner ear.

• Speech mapping: This procedure examines how your ears respond to normal sound levels used in conversation. It visualises the nature of your hearing loss and enables us to make more targeted suggestions about hearing aids or other devices.

• Tympanometry: Also known as pressure testing, this assessment helps us determine whether there is an injury, infection, or fluid in the eardrum that is responsible for pain, pressure, discomfort, or problems with hearing clarity.

• Word list test: Electronic speech testing overperforms conventional recorded sound analyses and helps us see how your ears can differentiate between speech and background noise and how our advice should be customised around your exact hearing ability.

Depending on the tests we propose, we’ll explain in greater detail how they work, what we are looking or checking for, and how the test process will run, giving you the peace of mind that you are in control of your hearing test and can request we pause at any time.
