Questions

Frequently asked questions

Does a hearing test hurt?

No. You'll wear headphones and press a button when you hear a beep. Tympanometry involves a soft probe at the entrance of the ear and a brief feeling of pressure, but it isn't painful.

Does microsuction hurt?

Most people find it comfortable. It can be a little noisy, and occasionally people feel slightly dizzy or ticklish for a moment. Tell us at any point if you'd like to pause.

Why microsuction instead of syringing?

Microsuction is done under magnification with no water flushed into the ear. That makes it a safer choice for many people, including those with a history of perforated eardrums, ear infections or ear surgery.

Will my GP know about my results?

A copy of your assessment can be sent to your GP so your medical records stay up to date. Just let us know at your appointment.

Can I bring someone with me?

Yes, and we encourage it. A partner or family member can help you remember what was discussed and share what they've noticed about your hearing.

What should I bring?

A list of any medications you take, details of any previous ear problems or surgery, and your current hearing aids if you have them.

When should I see a doctor instead?

If you have sudden hearing loss, a painful or discharging ear, or sudden severe dizziness, contact your GP or NHS 111 promptly.
