Know your hearing’s picking up everything it needs

Hearing provides your brain with real-time information about what’s happening in the world at that precise moment.

So getting a baseline for your hearing, then checking it routinely just like eyes and teeth, is the only way to be sure it’s performing as it should be.

That’s why Audify offer a comprehensive range of different types of hearing assessments including pure tone audiometry, otoacoustic emissions and speech-in-noise testing so you know your hearing is always ready.

1. Get a baseline for your hearing…

  • A baseline hearing check measures your hearing as it is at this point in time.
  • It confirms which sounds currently sit within your hearing range and highlight any sounds that are falling outside of your hearing.
  • Getting a baseline hearing check is a bit like taking a snapshot of your hearing at a single point in time so you have something to compare with in the future.
  • Get a baseline for your hearing as early on in life as you can* —even if you have the world’s best hearing. That way, you’ll have a reliable benchmark to compare against should anything unexpected happen to your hearing in the future.

2. …then get your hearing checked routinely

The only way to be sure our hearing remains up to the task is to check it routinely, just like we do our eyes and teeth.

Think of it this way. We get the brakes on our cars checked regularly; even if everything appears to be fine. We don’t leave it to chance, because we want to be certain they won’t let us down when we need them most.

The same principle applies to our hearing.

Regular hearing checks pick up changes in our hearing far more effectively, and far earlier, than we could otherwise. That way we minimise our risk of mishearing, and catch any preventable (but otherwise serious) problems and risks to our health.

How often should I get my hearing checked?

Audify recommend the following:

  • If you’ve noticed a recent change in your hearing, get it checked immediately. Treat it as you would a sudden loss of vision: treat it like an emergency.
  • If you’ve never had a hearing check, get it checked as soon as you can (to get a baseline).
  • Otherwise, we recommend getting your hearing checked every 2 years, unless your audiologist advises you otherwise.
