When Should I Get My Hearing Tested and How Often?
HearingLife encourages anyone who thinks they have a hearing loss to get their hearing tested. Those over 60 should get their hearing checked annually as hearing loss affects those 60 years of age and older the most.
What to Expect at Your Hearing Test
- Discuss hearing concerns, medical history and lifestyle factors.
- Physical ear examination- to understand if there are any medical explanations for your hearing loss.
- Comprehensive hearing assessment- which includes a series of tests such as tone, word and speech in noise tests.
- Same day verbal test results and recommended solutions/ advice.
- Referral to a physician if medically indicated.
