Why choose a full diagnostic hearing test over a free hearing check?

Doctors recommend a full diagnostic hearing test

A free hearing screening answers one question only - do you have a hearing loss? That’s why they are free. However, in most cases, a person is already suspicious that their hearing may not be perfect even before this check. Therefore, very little new information is obtained from a screening.

A full diagnostic hearing test provides far more information. It is the test recommended by Doctors and Ear, Nose and Throat Specialists. A full diagnostic test tells us whether a hearing loss is permanent or temporary, and provides information as to where the loss is located (e.g. in the inner ear, the ear canal or the middle ear). A full test will include an assessment of eardrum movement and also of hearing for speech. This type of test is the only way to accurately assess whether hearing aids are the best choice for a person or whether their hearing loss can be treated medically.

A full hearing test is like any other medical assessment which Doctors use to help form a diagnosis.
