What should I expect when I visit an audiologist?

  • When you call to book, 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.
  • Your checkup will be carried out by a hearing care professional.
  • On the day our friendly, 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 free hearing test may only take 15-20 minutes, but if you are showing signs of hearing loss in everyday life, we recommend a free full, comprehensive, hearing assessment which takes around one hour.  
  • During your hearing test, the hearing care professional will create a visual representation of your hearing ability, know as an audiogram.

What happens after your hearing test?

Your Triton Hearing expert will explain:
  • Whether you have a hearing loss
  • All about your hearing loss
  • What hearing solutions are right for you
  • If you qualify for 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.
