What is a Hearing Test?


Now and then, your physician may ask you to get a hearing test. Don’t assume that something is wrong. Hearing tests are how doctors use to make sure that your ears work well. With age, hearing loss becomes more likely. About 14% of people ages 45 to 64 have some degree of hearing loss, but that rises to more than 30% among people at 65 or older.


Millions of Australians suffer some form of hearing loss. Many people have minor loss they deal with successfully for years. Over time you may have trouble understanding words, especially when there is background noise, room echo, or you're in a crowd of people.


You might have trouble hearing consonants so some words sound like others. You may have to ask people to speak more slowly, stop mumbling, or speak more loudly. When someone talks, you often turn your head to hear with your good ear, or your family tells you you're playing the TV and car radio too loudly.


Loud sounds may be painful or uncomfortable. You may have a ringing in your ears that won't go away.


All these things are signs you may be struggling with compromised hearing. A hearing test can pinpoint exactly where your problems lie.


Most people have hearing loss in certain frequencies while other frequencies are normal. You might have a hard time hearing highs, need to turn up the lows, or are missing key frequencies that make you miss words when other people speak.

Why Would I Need a Hearing Test?

We are Melbourne locals who care.

Some people may suspect that they have hearing loss. They have trouble hearing people talk to them when they’re in a crowded room, or they’ve been told they raise the volume on the TV way too high. But not all people know that they have a problem. You may not realize that you have hearing loss, because it’s often a gradual process. That’s why it’s important to have your ears checked when your doctor says you should, even if you think you’re fine.


There are many causes of hearing loss in adults:


  • Being around loud noises often at work
  • Mowing the lawn or using power tools
  • Shooting guns or other weapons
  • Loud music, both live and recorded
  • Too much ear wax
  • Getting hit on the head
  • Having an infection
  • Taking certain drugs
  • Problems with hearing that run in the family


Older adults who don’t do anything to address their hearing loss are more likely to feel left out of social events that they’d normally enjoy, because they can’t hear what’s happening. They might even stop seeing their friends or family as often because they’re embarrassed that they can’t hear well. Isolation makes people more likely to become depressed, unless they get help for their hearing loss. Learn more about the different types of hearing loss tests and what you can expect from each.
