At Beckenham Hearing, we don’t just fit you with hearing aids. We take the time to listen your concerns and understand the underlying cause and nature of your hearing difficulties.
We will give you the information to make an informed decision on the best solution for you. We also want you to be comfortable to ask as many questions as you want to. This takes time, which is why our hearing test consultations take up to an hour and a half.
Using the most up-to-date technology allows us to assess the physical condition of your outer, middle, and inner ear.
Examination using a video otoscope will provide us with high resolution image of the inside of your ear canal, allowing us to check its condition and for any ear wax blockages or fluid behind your eardrum. Tympanometry allows us to check the condition and function of your middle ear and eustachian tube.
Using pure tone audiometry and speech in noise tests, we will assess your hearing sensitivity across the frequency range, and how well you can hear in noisy situations.
By using a soundproof room and the very best diagnostic testing equipment, we offer you peace of mind that your hearing loss has been diagnosed accurately and that, should you need hearing aids, they have been fitted correctly to your hearing prescription.
Following your hearing assessment, we will take the time to fully explain our findings and, if required, make any referrals to other medical professionals for you.
If you could benefit from hearing aids, we will offer you a demonstration of your recommended hearing aid and give you the information to make an informed decision on the best solution for you. We know that getting hearing aids can be a big commitment, so there is no pressure to purchase on the day.

Our detailed hearing evaluations are just £100 for a 90 minute consultation with our senior audiologist.
Our comprehensive hearing evaluations are recommended for any adult who is already aware that a hearing loss is present, or who are already wearing hearing aids.
If you are unsure as to whether you have hearing loss, or have any general concerns about your hearing, we recommend that you contact us in the first instance to discuss your needs with one of our hearing specialists.
Online booking for hearing evaluations is for over 18s only.
If you would like to book a hearing evaluation for someone under the age of 18, please contact our team so that we can discuss your requirements.
Medical & lifestyle consultation – we will start your appointment by talking to you about your lifestyle and how your hearing loss is affecting you.
We take the time to understand your concerns before establishing the listening environments you would like to improve upon. These may be social or work environments that are important to you, or perhaps using your phone, television, or the radio at home.
Where relevant, we will also discuss your experience with tinnitus and how this is affecting you.
We may ask you to complete a hearing questionnaire before your appointment. This gives you time to think about the hearing problems you have experienced and how they affect your wellbeing, as well as providing a useful starting point for our discussions.
Ear health – examinations are completed using video otoscopy and tympanometry to test the physical condition and function of your outer, middle, and inner ear.
Hearing thresholds – will assess your hearing sensitivity using pure tone audiometry. This checks for the softest sounds you can hear across the frequency range, and will confirm whether you have a hearing loss and, if so, to what degree.
Speech in noise – this test will confirm how well you can hear in noisy situations, giving us a good indication of how well you would do in noise with good hearing aid intervention.
Hearing summery and recommendations – finally, we will take the time to fully explain our findings. Taking your individual lifestyle needs and hearing test results into account will allow us to recommend the most appropriate treatment options.
If you could benefit from hearing aids, we will offer you a demonstration of your recommended hearing aid and give you the information to make an informed decision on the best solution for you, including our honest and impartial advice on any compromises associated with various hearing aid style, performance, and cost considerations. We know that getting hearing aids can be a big commitment, so there is no pressure to purchase on the day.
If required, we will also explain and make any referrals to other medical professionals for you.
Just as you get your eyes tested every 1-2 years, we recommend getting your hearing tested every two years as well, especially if you’re over the age of 50.
Regular testing increases the chance of any changes in your hearing, or early signs of hearing loss, being picked up early. Earlier detection and treatment can improve your quality of life and reduce the likelihood of any hearing related problems.
Tympanometry uses air pressure to check that all the bones in your middle ear are working correctly.
Tympanometry will also identify if you have any eustachian tube dysfunction, preventing you from equalising the pressure in your middle ear correctly. This condition can cause a conductive hearing loss (known as glue ear) and can leave excess fluid in your middle ear cavity resulting in a dull hearing sensation, similar to that felt on an aeroplane due to changes in air pressure.
During tympanometry, you will feel a gentle pressure for a short time, as if your ear is a little bit blocked.
A pure tone audiometry (PTA) test involves listening to different sounds through headphones to evaluate the softest sounds you can hear across the full frequency range of your hearing. PTA is usually completed in a soundproofed room to make sure that the test is accurate.
An audiogram charts the findings from PTA testing for each ear.
