Performing a preventive hearing assessment can help identify potential problems and restore quality of life.
First of all, it is important to note this number: the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 1 in 4 people in the world will have hearing problems by the year 2050.
However, some people are unaware that they have a hearing loss. This is why hearing assessment is important, as it can identify possible hearing loss early.
Hearing assessment is very important for your hearing health and At earLAB — with welcoming clinics in Richmond and Footscray — we’re here to help with expert hearing assessments and microsuction services, customized for you.
Discover below 3 top reasons that we have listed so you know when you should make an appointment.
An audiologist or hearing clinician diagnoses hearing loss and provides guidance on treatment for the patient. Some of the procedures he or she performs include removing earwax when it is blocked.
The annoying whistling, hissing or pressure cooker noise can be caused by some hearing problem and therefore it is important to seek a specialist to investigate the cause. If there is significant discomfort or hearing loss, a feeling of blocked ears and ringing in the ears, earwax accumulation may have occurred.
Hearing loss most often occurs as the patient ages. In other cases, it can also be congenital. However, if the symptom is sudden, it is important to evaluate the cause as soon as possible, as it could be anything from simple earwax to a change in the inner ear.
If you experience any of the symptoms mentioned above, book your appointment today! Our specialist will guide you on the appropriate treatment, depending on each case. The hearing assessment test tests your ability to hear sounds and can help you identify if there is already a loss of sound capture or even other types of problems that can be treated as soon as possible.
Alternatively, it could be due to ear wax accumulation. In that case, Microsuction is a gentle, non-invasive way to remove ear wax, making it a safer choice than older techniques.
Ideally, you should have a hearing test once a year. Some people only seek specialised care when they notice signs of hearing loss in their daily lives, such as asking someone to repeat what was said or watching TV at a very high volume.
Congratulations, it’s a very good decision for your hearing health. At earLAB, we focus on hearing assessments, gentle ear care, and safe microsuction—hearing aid sale is not our priority. Our university-trained clinicians provide trusted support in both location, helping you know when it’s time to get your ears professionally evaluated.
