It is important that you book promptly. Hearing loss is a risk factor for a range of things, including noise exposure, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, balance, falls and taking certain ototoxic medication. It may not be hearing loss that your doctor has encouraged you to have a hearing test for. Establishing a baseline audiogram and monitoring your hearing levels over time as part of your general health checks is always important.
What if my hearing test shows I have hearing loss?
If hearing loss is identified, our audiologist will review the findings with you and recommend the best action, including hearing aids or other treatments.
Can you help with tinnitus?
