What To Expect When Visiting An Audiologist
We help Kiwis reconnect with the world they love. There isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution to hearing loss. If you’re struggling with your hearing, our audiologists are here to help. We have over 60 clinics nationwide and provide free hearing checks for anyone aged 18 and older, so let us reconnect you with the world you love.
There are a lot of misconceptions around hearing devices. Triton Hearing have been quietly working away to break down the barriers and make hearing devices accessible for everyone. All you need to do is give it a go!
Visit one of our local hearing health clinics for a hearing test and hearing loss diagnosis, tinnitus management and hearing aid fittings. Our hearing checks are free for anyone aged 18 or older. Whilst you’re there, speak to our hearing specialists about invisible hearing aids, custom hearing protection and our innovative Virtual Hearing Care offering.
What should I expect when I visit an audiologist?
When booking your appointment, we will ask you a few questions about your hearing. This helps us understand what type of checkup is likely best for you. Your visit to the audiologist will start with an individual consultation, including a hearing test
On the day, your qualified hearing care professional will take you through simple testing to check your hearing and discuss your lifestyle needs. This gives us an understanding of your personal hearing situation and your requirements.
A simple hearing health check may only take 15-20 minutes, but if you are showing signs of hearing loss in everyday life, we recommend a full, comprehensive, hearing assessment which takes around one hour. Both are free for anyone aged 18 and older
During your hearing test, the hearing care professional will create a visual representation of your hearing ability, known as an audiogram
What happens after your hearing test?
Your audiologist will explain:
Whether you have a hearing loss
All about your hearing loss
What hearing solutions are right for you
Funding or subsidies to help with the cost of a hearing aid
Sometimes follow-up hearing assessments may be needed, in many cases Triton Hearing will also offer these free of charge.
If you need a hearing aid, the measurements on your audiogram are evaluated and an ear impression is created for a special earpiece. Earpieces (earmolds) are individually manufactured to ensure an optimum position and sound performance for your ear. They are combined with the hearing aid at a later stage.
Finally, the appropriate hearing aid is selected and adjusted. Our experienced audiologists carefully match your hearing aid to your specific requirements using modern computer software.
