Specialist Hearing Tests and Ear Wax Removal In Folkestone

If you have not had a private hearing test before or have only experienced quick and cursory exams, you may be surprised at how long our hearing specialists take to understand how changes to your hearing are affecting your quality of life and the number of potential tests we can conduct there and then, depending on your symptoms.

All Regain Hearing tests are designed to be comfortable and pain-free. We’ll explain what the test entails and how it works and share our findings as we go, always with the option to stop at any time if your ears are sensitive.

A full suite of hearing tests could involve all of the following, included within our two-hour appointment slot and with no extra charges or additional testing costs, regardless of how many tests we recommend:

• Video otoscopy is a great way to see what is happening inside the ear. It uses a tiny camera that transmits the video onto a screen, enabling us to show you what we can see and explain what it means in real time.

• Speech mapping testing gives us a detailed idea of which sounds, frequencies, volumes, or pitches you can hear and those you can’t. This information informs the treatment plans or hearing aid settings that will be most beneficial to you. We can also conduct word list tests that examine specific pitches.

• Ear pressure tests, also known as tympanometry, examine the amount of pressure inside your ears. Excess pressure can affect your hearing in myriad ways, and discovering buildups of pressure or fluid will enable us to suggest the best therapies to resolve these issues.

Hearing loss simulations are also an advanced form of hearing analysis. They allow us to demonstrate to a partner or friend accompanying you how your hearing has changed, providing a more holistic approach and a greater understanding of the degree of hearing loss.
