Yes, audiologists are qualified to prescribe hearing aids. Audiologists are healthcare professionals who specialises in diagnosing and treating hearing and balance disorders. They are trained to assess hearing loss and can provide recommendations for hearing aids and other assistive devices. Audiologists can also provide counselling and support to help individuals with hearing loss and help them to use their hearing aids effectively.

You do not need a referral from your doctor to see one of our audiologists.

While there is no objective test available for tinnitus detection, our audiologists can perform tests / questionnaires during the consultation to assess if the client has tinnitus. If tinnitus is detected, they can further assess the nature and severity of the client’s tinnitus. Take our Online Tinnitus Test to find out if you might have tinnitus.

At your appointment, the audiologist will ask you a few simple questions about your lifestyle, family history and whether you have difficulty hearing in any particular situations (such as noisy public places).

The audiologist will then take a look inside your ears using an instrument called an otoscope, which is totally non-intrusive and is designed to ascertain whether you have any obstructions or ear infections that might be temporarily affecting your ability to hear properly.

After that, you will be asked to listen to a series of beeping sounds through the latest ear insert technology, set at different frequencies and intensity. This will determine if you have trouble hearing certain types of sounds which can affect your ability to hear. This part of the test is known as 'audiometry.'

We will then ask a close family member or friend (with whom you communicate with regularly) to read out a list of words, and you will be asked to repeat the words you hear. This exercise will demonstrate how well you hear speech in a real-life environment. This is known as familiar voice testing.
