You don’t have to wait until you start experiencing the signs of hearing loss before you book a hearing check. Freedom Hearing offers a free hearing test to anybody who wants to maintain their hearing health and get ahead of potential issues.
Any time is a good time to get a hearing check.
But if you notice any of the following signs, prioritise getting your hearing checked:
A free hearing test from us takes 60 minutes and involves several assessments designed to pinpoint hearing loss and measure the severity of your condition. The assessment includes three key tests.
Hearing Test
You’re fitted with sound-calibrated earphones through which you listen to several simple tones. We ask you to press a button based on what you hear.
Speech Discrimination Test
We play individual words through a headset that you will be wearing, we will then ask you to repeat them back to us.
Tympanometry Test
This is a quick and objective test of your middle ear. Our audiologist places a small plug inside your ear to examine how your eardrum moves. We’re also able to check your upper auditory pathways, middle ear muscles, and eustachian tubes.
Think of it as a quick check of all of the equipment your ears use to ensure you can hear sound.
Once you’ve completed your free hearing test, your audiologist examines your results, diagnoses the type of hearing loss you have, and determines the severity of your condition. They also look into the cause of your hearing loss.
After that, they’ll discuss the results with you and recommend an appropriate course of treatment. This often includes demonstrations of possible treatment options and a discussion of available pathways to treatment, such as a WorkCover application or the Hearing Services Program.
