Hearing assessment

A hearing test should leave you clearer, not confused.

Greatsound assessments are unhurried conversations backed by careful measurement. You leave understanding your hearing and your options.

How the appointment runs

Allow roughly 45 minutes. You are welcome to bring a family member — a familiar voice is useful during testing, and a second listener helps when options are discussed.

1. Your story first

We ask which situations feel hardest — phone calls, restaurants, television, meetings — and about ear health, noise exposure and medication.

2. Ear examination

A look inside the ear canal checks for wax, irritation or anything that should be seen by a doctor before testing continues.

3. Hearing measurement

Tones at different pitches and volumes map the softest sounds you can hear reliably in each ear.

4. Speech clarity

Word tests show how clearly you follow speech, which often matters more day to day than volume alone.

5. Your results, explained

We walk through the chart in plain language: what is typical, what has changed and what it means for conversation.

6. Sensible next steps

That may be monitoring, a medical referral, listening strategies, or trying hearing technology. You decide, without pressure.

When to seek care sooner

Sudden hearing loss, hearing loss in one ear only, severe ear pain, discharge or dizziness should be assessed promptly by a doctor or ENT specialist rather than waiting for a routine appointment.
