What Can I Expect At My Appointment?
Firstly, you’ll be asked questions about your history and past experience with hearing loss. Our partners will then likely examine your ears, and then depending on your symptoms, will either screen your hearing or carry out a number of tests for a diagnostic hearing assessment to determine the extent of your hearing loss. At all stages the Partner Audiologist you visit will keep you informed about the procedure and answer any questions you may have.

What Type of Hearing Tests Can Be Performed?
Pure Tone Audiometry – This is to determine which frequencies each ear can hear. The results are recorded on an audiogram.
Speech Testing– To determine which speech sounds are not audible at certain volume levels.
Middle Ear Assessment – Testing to determine how your middle ear is functioning.
Inner Ear testing – Testing to determine information about the cochlear inner ear functions and brain pathways for hearing.
Before any tests are carried out, the Audiologist will look in your ear with an otoscope to ensure there is no earwax blocking your ear canal and that your eardrum is healthy. The information gathered from all the tests will determine the type of hearing loss you have and how much your hearing levels have been compromised. If you require medical treatment or further testing for any aspect of your hearing, the Audiologist will advise you of what your next steps should be.
What Experience Do Audiologists Have?
All Audiologists in Australia have up to 5 years university experience including post graduate qualifications, so they are well equipped to assist you. If you are suffering from symptoms such as dizziness or vertigo please let your Audiologist know so that they can do specific tests for those symptoms. They may refer you on for further testing to properly diagnose your condition.
Hearing care professionals in Australia also include Audiometrists. Audiometrists are trained at TAFE, specifically in hearing testing and hearing aid fitting. Audiometrists are required to refer to Audiologists for complex cases. Both Audiologists and Audiometrists are classed as Hearing Care Professionals and will work with you towards the aim of improving your communication and gaining better hearing.
