A hearing test helps determine if you have hearing loss, whether minor or more severe. At The Hearing Care Partnership, our free hearing assessments are easy and painless.
Your audiologist will ask about your lifestyle, go through your medical history, and perform a variety of tests – otoscopy, tympanometry, pure tone audiometry, and speech tests.
We’ll talk through your results with you, whether you need any treatment, and if hearing aids could be beneficial.
How often do you visit the doctor, dentist or optician? And when was the last time you had a hearing test? If it wasn’t recently, you’re not alone. But it’s just as important to visit an audiologist regularly.
Having regular hearing tests will help you keep your hearing healthy and will help us increase the chance of catching any irregularities early on, avoiding any further hearing decline.
This is particularly important if you’re over 50, as the risk of hearing loss rises to 40% in this age group. Increasing again to 70% in the over-70s.
At The Hearing Care Partnership, our hearing and tinnitus assessments are completely free. And there is no obligation to purchase a hearing aid or use our earwax removal service – even if we recommend these as further treatment. We’re simply here to help and advise what’s best for you!
For a week before your appointment, use oil or ear drops daily. This will help soften your ear wax and make it easier and more comfortable to remove.
Your clinician will have a quick chat with you to get a clear understanding of your ear health, and will be able to advise on which wax removal method will be most suited to you.
They will use a video device to allow you to see inside your ear for yourself, so you’ll be able to see a clear “before” and “after” any ear wax has been removed.
Finally, they will carry out a quick hearing health check to ensure your hearing is back to its best, or to find out whether further assistance may be required.
At The Hearing Care Partnership, we offer the latest, safest methods of wax removal. During your appointment, your clinician will choose the most suitable method for you based on your level of wax build-up, as well as the condition and position of earwax within your ear.
The safest and cleanest way to remove ear wax from moderately blocked ears is the microsuction method. A probe is gently inserted then connected to a vacuum pump to suction out the excess wax from the ear canal.
If you only have a small amount of ear wax that’s built up near the entrance of your ear canal, manual removal is the best option. For this, a variety of tools may be used to safely remove wax from the ear canal.
This is safer, gentler and more effective technology than the old “syringing” method.
With water irrigation, body temperature (37°C) water is used to flush debris out of the ear canal at a low pressure.
It’s ideal for removing larger quantities of ear wax.
Our ear wax removal treatment is available for £70 for in-branch appointments with no extra hidden costs. That’s whether we have to remove ear wax from one ear or both ears.
Please note this includes a £25 non-refundable consultation fee.
