Assess Your Hearing
with an Audiological
Test Today

As we get older, our hearing can deteriorate for a number of reasons. The most common cause is presbycusis, a natural part of the ageing process. Other forms include nosocusis, caused by cumulative environmental factors, and sociocusis, which results from lifestyle choices such as frequent exposure to loud noise, smoking, dietary habits, and the use of ototoxic prescription drugs. If your hearing is causing you concern, contact your nearest Acute Hearing Solutions clinic and book an audiometry test today.

Presbycusis is a form of sensorineural hearing loss that progresses slowly with age, typically affecting both ears and high-frequency sounds first. It can make it difficult to follow a conversation and hear speech clearly. Common symptoms include simultaneous hearing loss in both ears, difficulty hearing high-pitched noises, tinnitus, and trouble distinguishing background sounds. Where a presbycusis audiogram confirms hearing loss, treatment options, including hearing aids, are available.

Do You Need a Hearing Test?

If you are unsure whether you need a hearing test, ask yourself the following:

Do you struggle to hear people in busy settings such as restaurants or shopping centres?

Do you have difficulty following phone conversations or hearing the TV at a normal volume?

Do you find yourself asking people to repeat themselves regularly?

Does your hearing affect your personal, social, or work life?

Do you strain to follow conversations at meetings, lectures, or in group settings?

If you answered yes to three or more of these, you may be experiencing hearing loss. A simple audiometry test at one of our Melbourne clinics can determine the nature and severity of your hearing deficit and guide you toward the right solution through a professional hearing assessment.
