Hearing Assessment
The aim of the assessment is to establish whether there is a hearing loss, and if a hearing loss is identified, to establish what has caused the hearing loss. If a medical condition such as wax in the ear, middle ear infection, a perforated ear drum etc. exists, that has caused a temporary, treatable condition, the patient will be referred for a medical opinion and treatment.
CAPD
Language is learned through listening. To learn a language, one needs to be able to attend to, listen to, and separate important speech from all the other noises of daily living, at home, at school and socially. When one’s Central Auditory Processing skills are weak, the child or adult may experience auditory overload, making communication and learning a real challenge.
Hearing Aids-on-Contract
It is now possible to acquire hearing aids on a contract basis with easy terms over 36 months including loss insurance and the manufacturers’ warranty/service plan. Please enquire with our audiologists for more on this service.
If you want to know how to maintain your hearing aids, there are many online videos available to watch. Most hearing aid companies have instruction videos on their websites, showing wearers how to take care of their hearing aids effectively.
