Hearing loss can occur at any time and any age. Strauss Audiology offers a comprehensive test to determine whether you have hearing loss, how severe your hearing loss is, where it occurs in the auditory pathway, and how it affects your understanding of speech in both quiet and loud environments. After discussing your hearing health, we will guide you through the assessment process step by step and conduct it professionally.
Hearing test
Audiometry and hearing evaluation includes a comprehensive medical history, otoscopy, tympanometry, auditory reflexes, reflex attenuation, pure tone audiometry, and a complete speech audiogram, including speech in noise testing. The tests are conducted annually in Strauss Audiology’s soundproof booths using specialised equipment that is calibrated to medical industry standards. This way the results are always accurate and reliable.
A hearing test is painless and checks for factors such as:
- the feeling of pressure in the middle ear
- pitch
- volume
- loudest, clearest, quietest, and most comfortable sound level
This will help us determine if you have hearing loss, which ear has hearing loss, the extent of your hearing loss, whether it can be corrected with surgery or medication, whether you need hearing aid support, and how to maximize your hearing potential.
Evaluation and management
After the evaluation, an expert hearing consultation will be conducted, and a unique treatment plan will be discussed with you. This gives you knowledge about your hearing. If you have been diagnosed with hearing loss, we will also discuss treatment or rehabilitation options. Our hearing loss management options include wireless communication devices, hearing aids, Bluetooth connectivity, and amplification devices.
Sometimes the inability to understand sounds has nothing to do with hearing loss. This can be determined by a hearing specialist’s diagnosis. For this reason, it is important to see an audiologist if you think you have a hearing problem.
Hearing aids
Strauss Audiology offers high-quality hearing aids tailored to your hearing needs. Care is taken to ensure that these devices restore hearing, facilitate auditory nerve processing, and provide quality-of-life benefits.
Due to the wide variety of hearing aids available, including hearing aids with wireless capabilities, the management plan will include devices that achieve the above goals. Hearing aids are sourced from quality manufacturers known for their superior workmanship and superior hearing quality.
To reflect our commitment to advanced hearing aid technology, every hearing aid purchased from us comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
