Our Specialtie
Audiology
Audiology is the medical specialty dedicated to the study of hearing and balance. We offer a full range of hearing tests to diagnose and treat hearing-related conditions, ensuring the best possible quality of life.
We perform a variety of auditory exams to assess and monitor hearing health. These tests are essential for detecting early problems and enabling effective interventions.
Hearing tests are essential for evaluating auditory health and monitoring potential changes over time. These assessments play a crucial role in the early detection of hearing issues and in ensuring effective interventions. At our clinic, the following exams are available:
Pure-Tone Audiogram: Assesses hearing thresholds and determines the presence of hearing loss.
Speech Audiogram: Measures the ability to perceive speech at different sound intensities.
Tinnitus Matching (Acufenometry): Evaluates tinnitus (ringing in the ears), allowing for ongoing monitoring and treatment of the symptom.
Tympanogram with Report: Analyses the mobility of the tympanic membrane and the function of the middle ear.
Impedance Audiometry: Assesses middle ear function and stapedial reflexes, which are essential for protecting the cochlea from loud sounds.
Eustachian Tube Function Test: Evaluates the function of the Eustachian tube, which is key to balancing pressure in the middle ear.
Comprehensive Hearing Assessment: A detailed exam that provides a full evaluation of auditory health.
Hearing Aid Gain Optimisation: A test to fine-tune hearing aids according to the patient’s specific hearing needs.
Free Hearing Screening – Early Intervention Makes All the Difference
Early detection of hearing problems is essential, especially in children and older adults. Free hearing screenings are an excellent way to ensure that any issues are identified in a timely manner.
Benefits of Early Screening:
Early detection of hearing loss: Timely identification allows for earlier intervention and treatment.
Effective intervention: The use of hearing aids or other solutions can significantly improve quality of life.
Prevention of complications: Untreated hearing loss can lead to communication difficulties, social isolation, and even cognitive decline.
At Family Medical Centre, we offer free hearing screenings to ensure that everyone—regardless of age—has access to the best possible hearing care.
Undergoing a hearing assessment is a crucial step in protecting your health and overall well-being. Hearing rehabilitation is an essential process for individuals with hearing loss. We provide tailored solutions, including:
Comprehensive and personalised hearing assessments
Careful selection and fitting of hearing aids
Ongoing follow-up to optimise outcomes
A holistic approach that takes into account each patient’s individual needs
