What to Expect at Your Free Hearing Test
1. Visual Ear Inspection
Your audiologist will begin by examining your ears using an otoscope, a device that allows us to inspect the ear canal and eardrum.
During this examination, our audiologist checks for:
- Signs of medical conditions affecting your hearing
- Excessive ear wax buildup that could be impacting your hearing
- Potential obstructions or irregularities
2. Comprehensive Hearing Test
Once the visual inspection is complete, we proceed with the main hearing assessment. This thorough test includes:
- Puretone Test: This test measures your hearing thresholds at different audio frequencies, allowing us to identify specific areas of hearing loss and potential issues within the auditory system.
- Speech Test: In this test, you’ll listen to and possibly repeat spoken words, helping us evaluate how well you can recognize speech sounds. This test also provides insights into the upper limits of your comfortable hearing range.
3. Expert Discussion and Next Steps
After your hearing test, our audiologist will review the results with you, explaining each finding in detail and discussing what the next steps might be. Depending on your results, we may recommend:
- Medical treatment or further referrals to ENT specialists if any underlying health conditions are detected
- Follow-up assessments to monitor changes in your hearing over time
- Hearing aids if appropriate, with guidance on the best devices for your lifestyle and preferences
As an independent clinic, Discretion Hearing Ltd provides access to the widest range of hearing aid solutions from leading suppliers, ensuring you have options that suit both your needs and budget. Rest assured, any recommendation for a hearing aid is entirely based on your specific hearing profile and lifestyle.

EXCELLENT Based on 59 reviews Dan Hitchens16/12/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. David was really outstanding. He took his time testing and making sure the results had been correct. He re did a couple of tests when he noticed something and to make sure I had exactly what was needed. Again he carefully went over everything, confirming i hearing issues and data. He came 90 Minutes each way to the house because of my work schedule. At all times David considered my hearing and what I needed. Making sure my needs got met nothing to do with his business but it was all about me and my care. I would recommend if you have any hearing issues or doubts or want a second opinion David was above and beyond honest. Any future hearing loss or questions Will be making an appointment and making my way to the office.

I first went to David with a wax guard in my ear which he sorted for me. I decided there and then if I ever needed new hearing aids I would go to Discretion Hearing. I am more than delighted with them and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. Joanna Fensom22/05/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bit late writing this review, but knew I must find the time to thank Discretion Hearing for fitting me in for a last minute wax removal service in between their training sessions on a day when they were technically closed, as I was really struggling. Brilliant service, so thorough, knowledgeable and I felt very at ease. Really recommend, thank you again. Fiona Mohan16/05/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend these guys. Woke up one morning to find I was deaf in one ear. Complete panic! They booked me in straight away for the micro suction. The process is pain free with no discomfort and you get to watch it all on the screen in front of you which is weirdly very satisfying! Lovely girls on reception too. Thanks Discretion Hearing! Kev Askew23/04/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently purchased hearing aids from Discretion hearing. From start to finish the services was professional, friendly and honest. I visited three other hearing centres and by far discretion hearing was the best and competitive on pricing. They followed up a few weeks later to make sure everything was OK. Highly recommended. ES12/04/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
