Hearing Test in Singapore
Evaluating your hearing health is vital towards enhancing your quality of life. At Hearing Partners Singapore, we offer both online and in-clinic hearing tests to provide you with the insights you need to take charge of your hearing health.
Signs of Hearing Loss
Recognising the signs of hearing loss is crucial for timely intervention and support. These signs can vary significantly between adults and children, making it essential to be aware of the specific indicators for each age group. Understanding these differences can help you identify potential hearing issues and seek appropriate care.
Hearing loss is a common problem among the elderly. Signs of hearing loss you may observe in adults include:
- Regularly asking others to repeat themselves
- Trouble following conversations with more than 2 individuals
- Frequently perceiving people as mumbling their sentences
- Issues with sound clarity in noisy or crowded places
- Having difficulty understanding the voices of women and children
- Turning up sound volumes much higher than normal
Hearing loss can affect a childโs speech and language development. Signs of hearing loss you may observe in children include:
- Difficulty following instructions
- Tendency to ask the speaker to repeat his/her question or statement
- Delayed speech
- Unclear speech
- Watching the television too loudly
Types of Hearing Tests
Hearing tests, or audiometric tests, measure your ability to hear the softest levels of sounds at individual pitches. They are painless and non-invasive, and can give you an indication of your overall hearing capabilities. At Hearing Partners, we are fully equipped with the latest technology in hearing diagnostic equipment, ensuring you receive the best care possible. Learn about the types of audiometry tests we offer below.
In-clinic hearing tests
These hearing tests are conducted by an audiologist at a hearing clinic. There are a range of tests designed to evaluate various aspects of your hearing health.
Online hearing test
These quick and fuss-free tests offer a rough indication of your hearing health. They often involve self-evaluation questions, a tone test and some listening situations.
In-Clinic Hearing Tests
In-clinic hearing tests provide a comprehensive assessment of your hearing health in a controlled environment. Conducted by hearing care professionals, these tests utilise advanced equipment to evaluate your level of hearing and identify any areas of concern.
At Hearing Partners, you will receive your test results on the same day.
How in-clinic hearing tests work
At Hearing Partners, our hearing test takes place in 4 parts and spans over 30 minutes.
- Audiologist consultation: The audiologist will ask some questions to learn more about your hearing concerns, medical history and lifestyle.
- Physical ear examination: The audiologist will check for earwax blockages or other irregularities.
- Hearing test: You will take a comprehensive audiometric test in a quiet and soundproof room, and will be evaluated on aspects such as tone, speech and eardrum.
- Review the results: The audiologist will review the test results with you and provide recommendations for managing your hearing health.
How to prepare for an in-clinic hearing test
Start by booking an appointment with us at your preferred clinic. In the days leading up to the appointment, practice these habits and make the necessary arrangements:
- Avoid visiting loud places* for at least 24 hours before your appointment to prevent temporary hearing loss.
- If you have a severe buildup of earwax, visit an Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) clinic or a General Practitioner (GP) for earwax removal.
- Ask a family member to accompany you for the hearing test.
- Bring your identification card (IC) or passport for the appointment.
*Loud places are areas where you need to raise your voice to communicate with someone standing 1m away.
