So What Is a Hearing Check?

Have you ever wondered what is involved when you have your hearing checked for the first time?

Picture
The Jervis Bay Hearing Centre understands that it's difficult to take that first step in your hearing wellness journey.

We know if can be confronting to come to terms with hearing loss and the impacts it has on your and your family and friends.  So we offer free hearing checks that are professional, fast ans fun!

What to expect:
  • A hearing check takes 15 minutes
  • You will hear a series of beeps through headphones and we ask you to press the button when you hear each beep.
  • To ensure an accurate check is performed, you sit in a sound proof booth so that you can be confident of the results
  • It provides a pass or fail result
  • If you pass your hearing check, you will be advised to return in 5 years to monitor your hearing again
  • If you fail the hearing check, the next step is a hearing evaluation which will provide more detail to understand where your hearing loss is coming from

What you should know:
  • Having hearing loss does not necessarily mean that you require hearing aids
  • Only 30% of people with hearing loss require a hearing device
  • Hearing aid technology has advanced dramatically resulting in discreet, stylish and high performance devices in a reasonable price range
  • Pensioners receive free hearing care through the Commonwealth Government program

Why you shouldn't delay:
  • You will be surprised how easy is it to have your hearing checked!
  • The earlier you identify and manage your hearing loss, the more likely you will delay or prevent the need for hearing aids
  • Untreated hearing loss has been linked to early onset dementia and the impacts incorrectly confused with memory loss and declining cognitive ability
  • If you are over 60, you should have your hearing checked every 2 years

When you should have your hearing checked:
  • When you need people to repeat themselves often
  • When you need to turn the TV up louder
  • When you confuse similar sounding words
  • When others comment that you're not hearing well

It's Not All About Hearing Aids...

It's Not All About Hearing Aids...

Picture
A common misunderstanding is that solving hearing loss takes place with the fitting of a hearing instrument.  Certainly hearing aids may be part of the process, however they are just one set of tools an Audiologist may use.  Hearing loss is a complex problem affecting our hearing sense and is best solved by having access to a quality and trustworthy hearing centre.

Hearing loss is much more than just a lifestyle inconvenience.  It affects communication, workplace productivity, mental and emotional states, cognition and quality of life.  "Treating hearing loss early has been shown to reverse negative effects as well as help with cognition, social interactions, mobility and reduce the development of dementia and depression"

While there is a common myth that hearing loss is most prevalent in the elderly, the truth is that half of all cases of hearing loss occur in the working age group (15 to 64 years). "It is a myth that hearing loss is primarily an affliction of the aged, and that it is solved solely with the fitting of a hearing aid"

Usually people wait until their life is unbearable before visiting a Hearing Centre.  While others are motivated by external factors such as frustrated partners, children and friends dropping hints, making jokes or leaving strategically placed pamphlets around the house.  "I could see his grand-daughter knew he had no idea what she was saying to him.  He just nodded and smiled and she looked bemused.  She was so happy when he finally got his new ears!"

Early detection, having access to quality, trustworthy information and a well informed decision making process are important factors that contribute to you having a great experience and a great outcome with your Hearing Centre.  In face, at Jervis Bay Hearing Centre we make this a priority and ensure our clients are the focus of your business and not the sale of hearing aids, unlike our retail competitors.

Our Clinicians and team are here to help you begin your hearing wellness journey with a FREE hearing check.

Call us at any of our 3 locations:
Vincentia - 4441 8886
Ulladulla - 4455 6000
Sussex Inlet - 4441 8886
