The hearing test
A full hearing assessment is not one test but several, and none of them hurt. Here is each one, what it measures, and how long it takes.
Finds the quietest sound you can hear at each pitch, from 125 Hz up to 8 kHz. This is the test that produces your audiogram.
Headphones on in a quiet room. You press a button whenever you think you hear a beep, even if you are not sure.
15 to 20 minutes
Measures how many words you can correctly repeat back, which is a different question from whether you can detect a beep.
We say words at different volumes and you repeat them. Some will be easy, some will be guesswork. Both tell us something.
5 to 10 minutes
Checks that the eardrum and middle ear move as they should, which separates a blockage from a nerve problem.
A soft tip rests in the ear and changes the air pressure slightly for a few seconds. It feels like the pressure change on a plane.
About 2 minutes
A camera look inside the ear canal and at the eardrum, shown on a screen you can see too.
Nothing goes deep and nothing touches the eardrum. Often this is where a problem turns out to be wax rather than hearing loss.
2 to 3 minutes
A quick pass or refer check rather than a full measurement. Used for children, and for anyone who just wants to know whether to worry.
Short and simple. For younger children it is turned into a game so they respond without realising they are being tested.
About 10 minutes
Finds the frequency and rough loudness of the ringing you hear, so any sound therapy can be aimed at the right place.
We play tones until you tell us one sounds like the sound in your ears. There is no right answer, only your answer.
10 to 15 minutes
You will not need all six. Which we use depends on your ears, your age and what you have come in about. The whole visit is usually about an hour.
Book a hearing testHearing aid styles
This is the first thing most people want to know. Here are the six styles we fit, drawn at their real sizes relative to each other.
BTE
Sits behind the ear with a thin tube into the canal. The most powerful option and the easiest to handle if your fingers are stiff.
Visible from behind
RIC
A slim body behind the ear joined to the canal by a wire thinner than a noodle. The most common first choice.
Barely visible
ITE
Custom made from a mould of your ear and fills the outer bowl. Nothing sits behind the ear at all.
Visible from the side
ITC
Smaller, and sits at the opening of the canal rather than in the bowl of the ear.
Hard to notice
CIC
Sits inside the canal. Only a small pull-cord shows, and only if someone is looking for it.
Almost hidden
IIC
Sits deepest of all. Suits mild to moderate loss and a canal wide enough to take it.
Not visible
Smaller is not automatically better. How small you can go depends on your hearing test and the shape of your ear canal, and a very small aid cannot push as much power. We will tell you honestly which of these will work for you.
Compare the stylesTwo minute check
These are the same six questions we ask when someone walks in. Tick the ones that sound like you.
0 of 6 ticked
Tick anything that sounds familiar and this will change. If none of them apply, you probably do not need a test right now.
This is not a diagnosis. Only a hearing test can tell you what is actually happening, and it is the only way to know which sounds you are missing.
Brands we fit
We are an independent centre, not a single-brand showroom. Which hearing aid we suggest comes from your audiogram, your ear canal and your budget, not from who pays the best commission.
What patients say
These are real reviews, left by real patients on our Google listing. We have not written any of them.
I had a great experience at Bulleh Shah Hearing Center. The hearing test was detailed, and everything was explained clearly. Thank you for the excellent service.
For the last few months, I was having hearing problem. One of my friends referred me to BHC.I met Nasir sb ab., a professional audiologist. My problem was solved with a state of the art hearing devices. Later, I got efficient and prompt back up service. I would recommend this clinic for all sorts of hearing problems.
I had an excellent experience from past two years. The team is professional, attentive, and truly cared about the needs. I installed the two hearing aids for my mother and she has significantly improved my mother's life, and the follow-up support has been outstanding. Highly recommended!
Common questions
Yes, if you can. A husband, wife, son or daughter who talks to you every day often notices things you have stopped noticing, and it helps to have a second person hear the results. It also means someone else knows how to look after the hearing aid.
No. You sit in a quiet room wearing headphones, listen for very soft tones, and press a button or raise your hand when you hear one. Then you repeat some words back. Nothing is inserted into your ear and nothing touches the eardrum.
That depends on the style. A behind-the-ear aid is visible from behind. A receiver-in-canal aid is very hard to spot. Completely-in-canal and invisible-in-canal aids sit inside the ear canal and are not visible unless someone looks into your ear. How small you can go depends on your hearing test and the width of your canal, and we will tell you honestly which styles will work for you.
If both ears have hearing loss, two. Your brain works out which direction a sound came from by comparing what the two ears receive, and with only one aid that comparison breaks down, which makes noisy places harder rather than easier. If only one ear is affected, one is enough.
There is a wide range, because the price depends on the style, the manufacturer and how much processing the aid does in noisy places. Rather than quote a number here that goes out of date, call or send a WhatsApp to 0300-9359652 and we will tell you what is currently available in your range. We will also tell you if a cheaper model would suit you just as well.
