👂 Ever wondered what actually happens at a hearing test? You're not alone — it's one of the most common questions we get asked.
The good news is there's nothing to worry about. It's a relaxed, informative appointment that tells you exactly what's going on with your hearing — and it's completely free.
Here's what to expect:
🔵 Case history — your audiologist will ask about your hearing, your health, and your day-to-day challenges. No question is too small
🔵 Otoscopy — a gentle look inside your ears using a small torch to check for wax or anything else that might be affecting your hearing
🔵 Pure tone audiometry — you'll wear headphones and indicate when you can hear different sounds; this establishes your personal hearing thresholds
🔵 Bone conduction test — helps identify where in the ear any hearing loss is occurring and what type it is
🔵 Your results, explained in plain English — no jargon, just honest answers and a clear next step
Sometimes the cause is something as simple as a build-up of wax. Other times, a hearing aid could make a life-changing difference. Either way, a hearing test is where it all starts.
And with our network of over 200 qualified audiologists across the UK, you can book yours at a local clinic or at home — whichever suits you best.
