Every year during the month of November, we like to raise awareness of hearing health and how important it is to get your hearing checked every two years or more often in some cases. We conducted a study, polling 300 of our customers nationwide, focusing on their partners’ hearing health. Our customer research revealed that a significant number of those surveyed believed their partner was selectively ‘tone deaf’ when asked to do something at home. And men were three times more ‘tone deaf’ than women.

It also revealed that almost 50% of those surveyed weren’t aware of the association between untreated hearing loss and the increased risks of dementia*, so it’s never been more important to seek out help and support.

Take a look at the interesting results from our study in the diagram below:

What to expect at a hearing check

  1. Intital discussion – our Hearing Aid Audiologist will ask you about your medical history, as well as your lifestyle and occupation. You will be asked about any hearing difficulties you may be experiencing, if you have worn hearing aids before and in what specific situations you would like to hear better.
  2. Check the health of your ears – an instrument called an Otoscope is used to look inside your ears, checking for any blockages or abnormalities of the ear drum and the ear canal. Should any conditions be discovered that are best addressed by your GP, our Hearing Aid Audiologist will refer you for further investigation.
  3. Check the level of hearing – A computerised audiometer is used to establish how well you can hear. By playing different tones at a set range of frequencies and volumes, our Hearing Aid Audiologist is able to determine your level of hearing. Should the results require it, your HAA will also fit a hearing aid at this point, to demonstrate the improvements to your hearing that are possible.
  4. Explanation of results – It is extremely important that you fully understand the results of your Full Hearing Health Check. Therefore, we ensure that we take the necessary time to explain the results at the end of the appointment. If your Full Hearing Health Check determines that a hearing loss is present, our Hearing Aid Audiologist will advise you of the most appropriate solutions for you.
