Is it Time for a Hearing Test? Recognising the Signs

Hearing loss rarely happens overnight. It typically develops gradually, making it difficult to notice until it begins affecting your daily conversations, confidence, and relationships.

    • Everyone is Mumbling: Speech sounds muffled or unclear, forcing you to frequently ask people to repeat themselves.
    • Loud TV Volume: The television needs to be turned up to a level that others find uncomfortably loud.
    • Restaurant & Social Struggle: Following conversations becomes exhausting in noisy environments like restaurants or family gatherings.
    • Phone Call Strain: Straining to hear clearly over the phone, often relying heavily on speakerphone.
    • Tired After Conversations: Feeling mentally drained or anxious after socialising due to the constant effort to listen.

    What to Expect from Your Comprehensive Hearing Test

    We completely understand that addressing hearing changes can feel a bit overwhelming, but taking the first step shouldn't be stressful. Unlike quick, automated screenings, our private assessments are relaxed, comprehensive, and designed entirely around your comfort.
    Don't let worry keep you from clear conversations. Parley Hearing's independent clinics combine gentle, unhurried care with advanced diagnostic equipment to give you an accurate picture of your hearing health.
    • Step 1: Lifestyle Discussion & Ear Examination We begin with a relaxed conversation about your daily lifestyle, communication difficulties, and relevant medical history. We will also examine your ears to check their general condition and rule out any visible wax build-up before carrying out your hearing assessment.
    • Step 2: Pure-Tone & Word Recognition Testing You'll sit comfortably while wearing specialised headphones and listen to a series of tones at different pitches and volumes. This helps us identify your hearing thresholds and build a clear picture of your hearing. We also carry out word recognition testing, where you'll repeat words back to us to assess how clearly you're able to hear and understand speech.
    • Step 3: Consultation & Personalised Hearing Advice Once your hearing test is complete, we'll explain your audiogram in clear, easy-to-understand language and discuss what the results mean for you. If hearing loss is identified, we'll talk through suitable hearing solutions based on your hearing needs, lifestyle, and personal preferences, including demonstrating appropriate hearing aid technology where suitable.
    • Step 4: Professional Fitting & Ongoing Aftercare If you decide to proceed with hearing aids, we'll arrange a professional fitting and carefully programme them to suit your hearing prescription. You'll also receive ongoing aftercare and support from our local team, helping you adjust comfortably to your new hearing and ensuring your hearing aids continue to perform at their best.
    Our care doesn’t stop at your initial hearing aid fitting. Adapting to clear sound takes time, which is why Parley Hearing is here for the long term—providing follow-up adjustments and continuous support so you always feel completely confident.

     ” What a fantastic, friendly family-run business! I went in to have a check on my ears as I suffer from tinnitus and a recurring ear infection. Gerry was extremely efficient, explained everything thoroughly and clearly and gave me a hearing test, all of which put my mind at rest. He also gave invaluable advice on how to manage the level of tinnitus disruption. I can't recommend the help highly enough and will be informing friends and family! I will definitely be back in the new year. ”
