Hearing assessments
Professional hearing tests in Birmingham
A comprehensive hearing assessment helps identify the type and degree of hearing difficulty and provides a clear plan for what to do next.
Understanding your hearing
More than a quick online check
A professional assessment considers your symptoms, ear health, hearing thresholds and the effect hearing changes have on everyday life.
Your results are explained in straightforward language. Where appropriate, options may include monitoring, communication advice, hearing technology, rehabilitation or referral to another healthcare service.
Your assessment may include
- Discussion of symptoms and hearing needs
- Ear examination
- Appropriate audiological testing
- Clear explanation of results
- Advice, rehabilitation or referral planning
When to arrange a test
Signs that your hearing may need checking
Conversations feel harder
You miss parts of speech, especially in groups, restaurants or when people speak softly.
Television volume is increasing
Other people notice that television, radio or telephone volume is higher than expected.
Tinnitus or uneven hearing
Ringing, buzzing or a noticeable difference between ears may warrant professional assessment.
Urgent symptoms: sudden hearing loss, rapid deterioration, severe dizziness, facial weakness, pain or discharge require prompt medical advice rather than a routine hearing appointment.
