Hearing Care
At Charlestown Eyecare we offer a comprehensive range of hearing care services designed to support hearing health and enhance quality of life.
We work in collaboration with The Hearing Care Partnership to offer expert audiology services, whether it’s a routine hearing test, advanced hearing aids, or solutions for tinnitus.
Complimentary Hearing Tests
We believe everyone deserves access to expert hearing care, that’s why we offer complimentary hearing tests to all customers. Your assessment will be conducted by our fully qualified audiologist, and includes advanced diagnostic techniques to allow us to evaluate your hearing health thoroughly.
Our free hearing tests are designed to be informative and stress-free, allowing us to pick up on any changes in your hearing. Whether you’re concerned about a specific symptom or simply want to stay proactive about your hearing health, we’re here to provide expert advice and support.
When Should I Have a Hearing Test?
Regular hearing tests are essential for maintaining good hearing health. You should consider having a hearing test if you’ve noticed changes in your ability to hear, such as:
- Difficulty understanding conversations
- Needing to turn up the TV volume
- Frequently asking others to repeat themselves
- Experiencing ringing in your ears
Even if you haven’t noticed any issues, a hearing test at least every two years is recommended, especially if you’re over 50 or work in a noisy environment. A hearing test can help us to detect early signs of hearing loss, while also providing valuable insights into your overall ear health.
At Charlestown Eyecare, we offer complimentary tests to give you peace of mind and ensure your hearing remains in excellent condition.
What Happens in a Hearing Test?
During a hearing test at our Charlestown practice, we will guide you through a series of simple and non-invasive assessments. The appointment begins with a conversation about your lifestyle, medical history, and any issues you may be experiencing with your hearing. This helps us tailor the test to your individual requirements.
Each test includes procedures such as otoscopy (examining of the ear canal), tympanometry (checking middle ear function), pure tone audiometry (measuring your ability to hear different tones), and a speech test (assessing speech understanding with or without background noise). Once complete, we’ll be able to provide a detailed report on your hearing health and go through the next steps with you.
Advanced Hearing Aids
If your hearing test reveals that you could benefit from hearing aids, our hearing care specialists will guide you through the process of finding the best options. We offer a wide range of advanced hearing aids from leading global brands, featuring cutting-edge technology such as bluetooth connectivity and rechargeable batteries, as well as discreet designs.
Your audiologist will take the time to understand your lifestyle, level of hearing loss, and budget before recommending a personalised selection of aids tailored to you.
Payment Plan
At Charlestown Eyecare we offer flexible payment plans to make hearing aids more affordable to customers. Our interest-free payment options allow you to spread the cost of your hearing aids.
Professional Ear Wax Removal
At Charlestown Eyecare we offer professional ear wax removal as excess ear wax can cause discomfort, muffled hearing, or even infections if left untreated.
At the start of your appointment, you will have an assessment of the level of wax build-up to determine the best removal method for you. Afterwards, we’ll conduct a quick check-up to ensure your ears are healthy and functioning well.
Tinnitus Consultations
For people experiencing tinnitus, we offer dedicated tinnitus care tailored to your needs. You will have a full hearing assessment where our expert audiologists evaluate your hearing and gain a deeper understanding of your condition. Based on the results, we will provide personalised recommendations to help you manage tinnitus more effectively. Our audiologists will work in collaboration with you to develop a bespoke plan to reduce the impact of your tinnitus.
Hearing Protection
At our Charlestown clinic, we offer a variety of custom-fit earplugs and protective solutions for activities like swimming, motorcycling, working in noisy environments, or attending concerts. Your audiologist will help you choose the ideal level of protection based on your lifestyle and needs, while ensuring maximum comfort and effectiveness.
