More positive, satisfying relationships
Improved job performance
Higher earning potential
Reduced anxiety
Increased confidence
Reduced risk of dementia
Improved cognitive function

What is a hearing test?

A hearing test provides a measurement of the sensitivity of a person’s hearing across the full range of speech. The test will measure the quietest sound that can be heard several points across the speech range – this hearing test is termed an audiogram.

Your hearing test results
Sound is measured in two key ways:

volume or level – measured in decibels (dB)
pitch or frequency (whether it’s high or low) – measured in hertz (Hz)
Your audiologist will probably refer to these two things when they explain the results of your test to you. If you do want to a copy of the test, it’s best to ask on the day.
