Free Hearing Checks

• This is a screening test. It takes only about 15
  minutes and a good first step if you suspect a
  hearing loss or are just curious about your
  hearing. This test gives only an indication
  whether you have a hearing loss and whether you
  should come back for a full hearing assessment.
• Available to adults over the age of 21, there is
  no charge with this check, but an appointment is
  required.

Comprehensive hearing assessments

• Our hearing test is a comprehensive test battery
  conducted in a quality soundproof room/booth
  using the latest instruments. The test battery
  includes
• Otoscopic examination
• Pure Tone Audiometry (Air conduction and bone
  conduction)
• Impedance Audiometry (Pressure test for middle
  ear function)
• Speech Discrimination Test (Ability to
  distinguish various sounds)
• In addition to this, for our clients who may
  require hearing aids we perform various tests to
  establish hearing difficulty specifically in
  presence back ground noise. This we do at no
  extra cost. These tests help us objectively
  choose appropriate hearing aids for their needs.
  We test children as young as three years of age
  right through to elderly.

CAPD Testing

• This kind of assessment evaluates what the brain
  does with what it hears in children from the age
  of 6 years old. This test is useful for
  determining why a child with "normal" hearing
  (i.e. normal standard hearing test results),
  still appears as if they have trouble hearing,
  particularly in difficult listening situations,
  such as in the classroom.
• Children with possible central auditory
  processing disorder (CAPD) often present with
  symptoms such as frequently misinterpreting what
  is being said, saying "huh" a lot, has poor
  listening attention, has difficulty following
  long instructions, sometimes has poor language
  skills, often has reading and spelling
  difficulties and can present with behavioural
  problems.

Financial assistance available to people with
hearing loss

• Ensuring that every Australian has access to
  better hearing is one of the federal governments
  key health priorities. The Office of Hearing
  Services Voucher Scheme provides free hearing
  tests and hearing aids to pensioners and
  veterans, which are available through accredited
  providers, such as The Art of Hearing.

  possible.

  of hearing aids and do most minor repairs on the

  the manufacturer is 10 working days or less.
