Free Hearing Test

Do I need a hearing test?

Can you relate to any of the following situations?

- Family or friends say that the TV is too loud
- I find people mumble
- I often miss the ringtone of my mobile or doorbell
- I hear a ringing noise in my ears (tinnitus)
- I have a better hearing ear
- My last hearing test was over 1 year ago

If YES, further action needs to be taken. Book a Hearing Test with us.

Free Hearing Test at Adaptive Hearing (Bossley Park)

We offers free hearing tests for those aged over 18. A free hearing test is an effective indicator on your hearing levels and whether a need for a more comprehensive hearing test is warranted. A referral is not needed for this test.

What to expect from your free hearing test

After arranging an appointment for a free hearing test.

One of our accredited audiologist/audiometrist will present a series of beeps. When you hear those beeps, you simply have to press a button. The hearing test should not be longer than 15 minutes. Upon conclusion of the test, our clinician will go over the results with you and recommend whether further actions need to be taken (e.g., a more comprehensive hearing test).

Do You Have an Online Hearing Test ?

Yes we do. Click here if you would like to proceed with an online hearing test.

An online hearing test is easier and faster than one done by an audiologist but it might not give all the needed information. It can help you decide if you need to worry about your hearing.

What to expect from a comprehensive hearing test

If you had a hearing test and a hearing loss is suspected, you might have been recommended to do a comprehensive hearing test.

A comprehensive hearing test usually takes an hour to perform

A comprehensive hearing test consists of several tests:

Otoscopy – an examination of your outer ear
Pure Tone Audiometry – an outer to inner ear test where a series of beeps presented through earphones to assess the degree and type of hearing loss
Speech Testing – a functional hearing test
Tympanometry – a middle ear test to determine if any middle ear pathologies are present
Any additional tests if deemed necessary

Hearing Service Program Voucher holders are eligible for a fully subsidised comprehensive hearing test (Conditions apply under the Australian Government Hearing Services Program).
