Early detection makes all the difference
Hearing loss affects millions of people in the UK, and many people live with it for years before seeking help. The good news is that most forms of hearing loss are highly manageable - but early identification is key to getting the best outcome.

Signs you may need a hearing test
If you recognise any of the following, we recommend booking a hearing assessment.
What happens during a hearing test
Your hearing assessment at Fresh Hearing is comprehensive, unhurried, and clearly explained throughout.
Case History
We begin by discussing your hearing concerns, medical history, lifestyle and any symptoms you have been experiencing.
Ear Examination
Your ear canals and eardrums are examined using an otoscope to check for any physical issues that may be affecting your hearing.
Pure Tone Audiometry
You will listen to a series of tones through headphones and respond when you hear them. This maps your hearing ability across different frequencies.
Tympanometry
A painless test that measures how well your eardrum moves, helping to identify middle ear problems such as fluid, perforation or Eustachian tube dysfunction.
Speech Testing
We will assess your ability to hear and understand speech at different volumes to provide a complete picture of your hearing in real-world situations.
Results & Discussion
Your audiogram is explained clearly, with time to ask questions. You will understand exactly what your results mean and what your options are.
Personalised Recommendations
Based on your results, we will advise on next steps - whether that is monitoring, lifestyle advice, hearing aids, or referral if required.
