We provide the most comprehensive Hearing Test Services in the Cork and Kerry region. Hearing loss occurs to most people as they age but it can also be a result of exposure to loud noise, medications, infections, head or ear trauma, congenital or hereditary factors and some disease processes. The vast majority of problems do not require medical or surgical intervention. Some 90 to 95% of all cases of hearing loss can be corrected with hearing aid.
If you suspect you have a hearing problem, phone to make an appointment for our hearing test services. Hearing loss can occur at any age and for many reasons. In adults, however, one of the most common periods for hearing loss to become most noticeable is between the ages of 50 and 55 years.
A simple hearing test can determine if you have a hearing problem or not, so the first step is to make an appointment for a hearing test. If your hearing test results are found to be within normal limits, no further action will be necessary.
Below is the full list of hearing test services provided in our Bantry and Kenmare clinics.
