Comprehensive Hearing Assessments
Comprehensive Hearing Tests at Auditus Hearing Specialists
A comprehensive hearing test is the first step in understanding your hearing health. At Auditus Hearing Specialists, our audiologists provide detailed hearing assessments that go far beyond a basic hearing check. These professional tests are designed to identify the exact type, degree, and cause of hearing loss, so we can recommend the best treatment options for you.
Why a Comprehensive Hearing Test is Important
Many people experience gradual hearing changes without realising it. Untreated hearing loss can affect communication, social connections, and even cognitive health. A professional hearing test:
- Detects hearing loss early
- Identifies middle ear issues such as infections or fluid build-up
- Measures how well you hear speech in real-life situations
- Provides a clear baseline for monitoring future changes
By booking a full hearing assessment with our audiologists, you gain peace of mind and practical solutions tailored to your lifestyle.
Why Choose a Comprehensive Hearing Assessment?
- Early detection of hearing loss or related issues
- Essential for selecting the right hearing aids or treatment
- Helps maintain overall brain and cognitive health
- Supports better communication and quality of life
- Required for workplace, driving, or insurance medicals

What’s Included in a Comprehensive Hearing Test?
Our step-by-step hearing assessments are thorough but comfortable. Here’s what you can expect:
1. Case History & Lifestyle Discussion
We begin by discussing your symptoms, medical history, and everyday listening environments. This helps us tailor the hearing test to your unique needs.
2. Ear Health Examination (Otoscopy)
Using a specialised instrument, we check your ear canal and eardrum for wax blockages, infection, or other medical conditions that may affect hearing.
3. Tympanometry (Middle Ear Function Test)
This quick test measures the movement of your eardrum and middle ear bones. It helps identify issues such as eustachian tube dysfunction, middle ear infections, or fluid build-up.
4. Pure Tone Audiometry
This is the most recognised type of hearing test. You will wear headphones and respond to sounds at different frequencies and volumes. This creates an audiogram – a visual chart of your hearing thresholds across pitches.
5. Speech Audiometry (Speech Recognition Testing)
Because real life isn’t just about hearing beeps, we test how clearly you can hear and understand speech, both in quiet and with background noise. This is essential for assessing everyday listening ability.
6. Results, Explanation & Recommendations
We explain your results in plain language and provide a personalised care plan. This may include monitoring, communication strategies, medical referral if necessary, or fitting of modern digital hearing aids.

Adults over 50 (recommended every 1–2 years)
