A hearing test measures the sounds you can detect, but hearing difficulties can affect much more than sound volume.

Testing is adapted to the suitability of your home environment, using portable equipment. If further assessment is necessary, Tim will explain why.
You'll receive a clear explanation of the findings and balanced advice about possible next steps.
