Comprehensive Hearing Tests

Comprehensive hearing tests at HCD Hearing Clinics is designed to check how well the ears respond to sounds, evaluate middle ear function, and ensure that hearing aids (if needed) are fitted accurately. Below are the typical steps involved in our comprehensive hearing tests at our Atherstone hearing clinic:

1. Case History and Consultation

The audiologist begins by asking about medical history, lifestyle, and any hearing concerns.

Information about noise exposure, family history of hearing loss, and current symptoms is collected.

2. Physical Examination (Otoscopy)

The ear canal and eardrum are checked using an otoscope or video otoscopy as required.

This helps identify wax buildup, infection, or structural issues that might affect the test.

3. Audiometry

Sounds of different pitches and volumes are played through headphones.

The patient responds when they hear a tone, allowing the audiologist to map out a hearing threshold chart (audiogram).

4. QuickSIN

QuickSin is a fast and reliable speech-in-noise test that measures how well you understand speech in noisy environments. It helps identify signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) loss for accurate hearing assessments. QuickSin provides real-world hearing insights.

5. Review and Recommendations

The audiologist explains the results in detail.

If needed, treatment options may include hearing aids, medical referral, or follow-up monitoring.

6. Hearing Aid & Accessory Demonstrations

If you do require hearing aids, our audiologist will introduce you to a range of options from leading manufacturers. You will be able to test out the hearing aids in-store, along with a variety of hearing aid accessories such as TV streamers and microphones, in our demo suite.

Very impressed with the service received. Excellent hearing test. I have had several hearing tests elsewhere but this one was extremely thorough with not only standard test but also a white noise test, loud noise test, listening to a tv and going outside to hear background noise.
Hearing aids were received very promptly. On collection of aids received an extremely thorough demonstration on how to wear, clean and adjust the aids.
The clinic is extremely clean. We were not rushed and all our questions were answered. Would recommend trying this clinic 100%.

Amazing service. Booked in on the same day. Really convenient location.

The gentleman I saw was fantastic really caring and explained everything clearly for me. Within a couple of minutes no ear wax in that ear and with just a weird ticking sensation and I could hear again!

Highly recommend them.

Thanks

My wife was having problems with both ears and so we made an appointment with hcd it was quick and easy to book an appointment and got an appointment on the same day. The gentleman was very nice and polite and went through the procedure for removing the wax thoroughly to ensure she understood what was going to happen.
He took his time and was very patient. She went in with very little hearing and 40 minutes later was able to hear as normal.
Also, it was a competitive price.
Very happy with the service.

Phoned for ear wax removal appointment at Hear Care Direct at their offices on Atherstone high street nr Tamworth which are new and very smart. Harpreet used the modern micro suction method (replacing the old and now obsolete irrigation method which can cause several problems - infections, driving the wax further in, etc). This was my first ever micro suction appointment and Harpreet was brilliant - no rush, very gentle and always reassuring. The wax was so compacted against the ear drum that, unusually, he stopped during the treatment and told me to use olive oil to soften the wax and return in ten days to safely and gently finish the rest of the treatment (AND at no additional cost!!). On return Harpreet was able to remove the remaining dark coloured wax which suggests it had been jammed in there for quite some time. The cost (Oct 25) was £40 for one ear, £60 for both. A brilliant service and I am absolutely delighted that I can hear clearly again - thank you, Harpreet!

I booked in for ear wax removal, but once they looked (and showed me live on an app), we agreed I didn't need it. I had a brief hearing test (ie not the full one) and again we agreed my hearing was OK for my age. Really professional and on time - great not to have any hard sell. I'll definitely book a follow up at HCD in 12mths.
