Hearing Test in Bury St Edmunds

 Looking for a private hearing test in Bury St Edmunds? Check My Hearing provides comprehensive £49 hearing assessments with Joshua Knight, an HCPC-registered independent audiologist.

Appointments are relaxed and unhurried, with time to discuss the situations in which you find hearing difficult. You will receive a clear explanation of your results and honest advice about any appropriate next steps.

There are no sales targets and no obligation to purchase hearing aids.

 Our appointment includes:

• A discussion about your hearing, general health and any difficulties you have noticed
• Otoscopy to examine your ear canals and eardrums
• Pure-tone audiometry to measure your hearing thresholds
• Additional testing where clinically appropriate
• A clear explanation of your results
• Advice about hearing protection, monitoring, medical referral or hearing aids where relevant.

The assessment is painless and normally takes approximately 45–60 minutes.

Advice about hearing protection, monitoring, medical referral or hearing aids where relevant

If anything is identified that requires medical investigation, this will be explained to you. With your consent, we can also provide an appropriate referral letter for your GP.

 Every hearing test is completed by Joshua Knight, your HCPC-registered independent audiologist.

Unlike a national chain or sales-led provider, Check My Hearing has no manufacturer targets or 

commission-based recommendations. Any advice is based on your hearing, lifestyle, clinical findings and the situations that matter to you.

You will see the same clinician throughout your care, providing continuity if you return for monitoring, hearing aids or ongoing support.

 It may be worth arranging a hearing assessment if:

• Conversations are becoming less clear
• You frequently ask people to repeat themselves
• Television volume is gradually increasing
• You struggle to follow speech in restaurants or groups
• Family members have noticed a change in your hearing
• You experience tinnitus
• You already use hearing aids and feel they are no longer performing as well
• You would simply like a baseline measurement of your hearing

Hearing changes are often gradual, so they may be noticed by other people before they become obvious to you.

A brief hearing check can indicate whether further assessment may be beneficial, but it does not provide the same level of clinical information as a comprehensive hearing test.

The £49 assessment at Check My Hearing is designed to provide a fuller understanding of your hearing. It includes examination of your ears, measurement of your hearing thresholds and time to discuss your results properly.

 Your results will be explained during the appointment in straightforward language.

Depending on the findings, the next step may be:

• Reassurance with no treatment required
• Periodic monitoring
• Advice about communication or hearing protection
• Earwax removal where appropriate
• Referral to your GP or another medical professional
• A discussion about hearing aids

 If hearing aids could help, you can explore the available options without pressure. As an independent clinic, Check My Hearing can recommend suitable technology from different manufacturers rather than being restricted to one brand. 

 Clinic appointments are available in Bury St Edmunds for adults from the town and surrounding areas, including Moreton Hall, Thurston, Great Barton, Elmswell and the Fornhams.

Home-visit hearing assessments are also available across surrounding villages for people who would prefer or require an appointment at home. Please contact us to discuss availability and any applicable home-visit charge.
