Hearing loss The facts: More than 9 million of us experience hearing loss but only 10% of us do anything about it - like having our hearing tested and seeking treatment such as hearing aids.

There's the hassle, the cost, the self-perception and the perceptions of others that deter many seeking treatment. "Hearing aids make me look old", "Hearing aids are big and clunky". "I don't have enough hearing loss to need a hearing aid".

We have heard them all. The excuses. The fact is hearing aids have changed through the years and now are small, sleek, cosmetic ear computers that allow those with hearing loss (even mild hearing loss) to stay connected to life.

The Hearing Test Hearing is part of living. It's part of what makes life fun, worthwhile and purposeful. People with hearing loss are often isolated, even from their own family members. And studies have shown hearing loss often has a negative impact on spousal relationships.

If this sounds familiar perhaps it is time to see a hearing professional for a full hearing evaluation. The hearing test results will reveal if you do in fact have hearing loss and if so, if you hearing devices can restore your quality of life.

Our 10 minute screening test is quick, simple and painless.

Still doubtful? As our test is free you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Although not a full diagnostic test, the screening check will at least give you an indication of whether it's time for an actual hearing test.

You will be asked a few important questions about your lifestyle, hearing preferences, problem areas - nothing to strain the brain. The objective, here, is to determine if a hearing loss exists.

The screening test is not designed to replace a hearing test but instead to alert you to hearing issues that you perhaps did not think of as potentially being a "hearing loss". The check simply will let you know whether it's time to organise a more detailed hearing evaluation.

Begin Today Hearing loss is one of the leading health issues in the UK today, it is also one many persons choose not to treat. And yet, it is so treatable and research supports the positive benefits of treating hearing loss with hearing aids.
