What happens during the hearing test?
The appointment is 30 minutes but the hearing test takes 10-20 minutes depending on age and hearing loss. Initially, questions regarding reasons for attending and previous medical history will be asked. The test takes place within a sound-treated booth. Sounds of varying intensities and pitches will be played through headphones and you will be asked to press a button when you hear the sound. The aim is to identify the quietest sounds that can be heard.
