Hearing tests are used to assess a persons ability to hear different sounds and to determine if there are any problems.
Hearing tests are carried out for two main reasons:
- as a routine part of a baby’s or young child’s developmental checks
- to check the hearing of someone who is experiencing hearing problems or has hearing loss
Although a GP or practice nurse can examine ears, a specialist usually needs to be consulted for audiology or a hearing test.
