Ear examinations
Ear examinations
For example, if your ears have not been examined prior, the poor hearing test results you obtained during your online hearing test or phone app test could be because of a build-up of wax in your ears. We will always examine your ears before testing your hearing. If there is a build-up of wax we can clear your ears of wax before testing.
If there are other reasons, as audiologists, we are uniquely qualified to assess each part of your ear (outer, middle, inner and the auditory pathway) to find out why you are having difficulty hearing.
