What to Expect from Our Hearing Test

Our hearing tests typically take around an hour and offer a complete assessment of your hearing. You’ll receive your results on the same day, giving you a clear understanding of your hearing health. 

At the start of your appointment, we’ll explain each step of the test so you know exactly what to expect. Our assessments cover all aspects of hearing to provide an accurate and personalised diagnosis. If hearing aids are recommended, our team will guide you through our range of options, helping you select the solution that best suits your lifestyle and needs.

Preparing for Your Hearing Test

For the most accurate results, it’s important that your ears are clean before your appointment. We recommend gently rinsing your ears with water, but please avoid using cotton buds or other objects, as these can push wax further into the ear canal. If you have concerns about ear wax, let us know beforehand—our team can safely and comfortably remove it to ensure your hearing test is precise and effective.

Do I Need to Bring Anything to My Appointment?

You don’t need to bring anything specific to your hearing test. Many of our patients, however, find it helpful to bring a friend or family member for support. Having someone with you can provide reassurance, and they may also think of questions or observations you hadn’t considered, helping you get the most from your appointment.

Your trusted practice

I recently visited Joseph Hayes opticians and was so impressed with the service I received, I wanted leave a review to say thank you so much to the whole team.

There is a lot to be said for trusting a local, independent opticians to make sure appropriate care and attention is taken during the eye examination.

I didn’t feel rushed, and the optician afforded me time to ask questions due a complex family medical history.

Their personal approach to my eye care is much appreciated. After my eye examination I was able to spend time browsing a fantastic range of frames and Adam really listened to exactly what I wanted before helping me make a fantastic choice.

This was my first pair of glasses, so his guidance was most welcome.

I am delighted with the design and quality of my glasses and they have added so much value to my everyday life.

Thank you again, it is so refreshing to have found an opticians who place service at the front of all they do.
