Comprehensive Hearing Assessment
To fully understand your hearing, a simple check isn’t enough.
At The Studio Goostrey, we offer a comprehensive hearing assessment, a complete series of tests that assess the outer, middle, and inner ear as well as the sensorineural pathway.
This in-depth approach leaves no doubt about your overall hearing sensitivity, clarity, and communication abilities in different listening environments.
It also helps us identify, suspect, or rule out any pathologies of the cochlea and retrocochlear pathway.
What’s Included in a Hearing Test?
Your appointment begins with a comprehensive medical case history, followed by a series of tests using advanced equipment:
Audiometry
Carried out in a sound booth with an audiometer to measure your hearing thresholds across different frequencies.
Speech-in-noise test
Evaluates how well you understand speech in real-world, noisy environments.
Word recognition
Delivered via speakers or headphones to test clarity and comprehension
Middle and inner ear checks
Ensures that sound waves are travelling effectively through your hearing system.
By combining these tests, we build a full picture of your hearing health and provide tailored recommendations for treatment, hearing aids, or further specialist referral if needed.
