Frequently asked questions
Are hearing tests painful?+
No. Standard audiometry, tympanometry and OAE are non-invasive and generally painless.
Can babies and children have hearing tests?+
Yes. OAE, tympanometry, behavioural tests or ABR/BERA can be selected according to the child’s age and development.
How should I prepare for a hearing test?+
Special preparation is usually unnecessary. Bring previous reports and a medicine list; wax or infection may need assessment first.
