No you don’t need to see your GP prior to attending for a hearing assessment.
If you regularly have wax removed by the GP, we recommend having this removed prior to the appointment. This way we can a clear view of the ear drum to conduct the assessment.
At Barossa Hearing we like to allow at least an hour, this will give time to explain your results and discuss options, which may or may not include the recommendation of hearing aids. We prefer clients also to arrive 15 minutes prior to appointment so all the necessary paperwork can be completed.
Yes we do, some conditions do apply but this mostly involves making sure they are insured. This is to protect you as you would be surprised at how many dogs like to eat hearing aids!
Well that will depend on what results we find. If you have a hearing loss in both ears with good speech understanding, we would normally recommend two hearing aids. You wouldn’t order new glasses with only one lens!
We are an independent clinic so we offer all brands of hearing aids, which ever will suit your needs best.
The sooner the better, we all presume we have normal hearing when in fact we may not. Only having a comprehensive test will determine this.
Not at all! It is completely painless. If you suffer extreme claustrophobia or sensory processing issues, let us know at your appointment, as we use an Australian Standards sound booth for your hearing test. However, this can be discussed and managed at the time of the appointment so we can make you as comfortable as possible.
