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.
