It’s therefore very important to have regular checkups - and Amplifon clinics in Australia offer free hearing tests that are a quick, convenient and easy way to get clarity on the health of your ears.

After you have booked your free hearing test at your local Amplifon clinic and you arrive for your appointment, here an overview of what you can expect:
If your results indicate possible hearing loss, your hearing care professional will explain what this means and outline your options. A comprehensive hearing test is usually offered as a next step, but there is no obligation to proceed with this.
Once your free hearing test is complete, one of our hearing care professionals will walk you through your results and explain what they mean for your hearing health. If no hearing loss is detected, we will simply recommend keeping up with regular annual checks.
If the results do suggest some degree of hearing loss, we will recommend booking a comprehensive hearing assessment with one of our audiologists — this is a more in-depth evaluation that takes approximately one hour and helps us build a full picture of your hearing needs. From there, our team will guide you through the most appropriate solutions, which may include a range of hearing aids suited to your lifestyle and budget.
A free hearing test is the initial 20 minute test completed by one of our hearing care professionals, where the outcome of your test will help identify whether or not you have some form of hearing loss.
A hearing assessment, or comprehensive hearing test, is then recommended to complete if your initial free hearing test identifies hearing loss.
If results indicate hearing loss, further analysis is required through a hearing assessment. This is a more in depth analysis from your first hearing test, taking approximately one hour, and includes the following tests:

As a general rule, it is recommended that adults have their hearing checked at least once a year. However, the frequency of your visits may vary depending on your age, lifestyle and hearing history. If you are over 50, work in a noisy environment, or have a family history of hearing loss, more regular check-ups may be advisable. For those already wearing hearing aids, routine visits to your audiologist are equally important to ensure your devices are correctly fitted, functioning well and adjusted to any changes in your hearing over time.
The hearing care professionals at Amplifon are happy to help you find the best hearing solution for you. They will tell you everything you need to know about the features and help you with the fit of your future hearing aid.
