Earwax Removal

Hearing Aid Solutions

Full Hearing Tests

Ear wax blockage is a common issue that can disrupt your hearing and overall ear health. It occurs when the naturally produced wax in the inner ear hardens or becomes impacted, hindering its natural expulsion.  

This condition can lead to a variety of uncomfortable symptoms, including ear pain, reduced hearing, vertigo, the risk of infection, and even eardrum perforation. 

At our clinic, we specialise in ear wax removal services that prioritise your comfort and  safety. Our skilled audiologists utilise microsuction, performed under a microscope, gently removing ear wax using suction. Trust our experts to provide you with a safe and effective solution to your ear wax concerns, restoring your hearing clarity and overall ear health. 

All our wax removal appointments include a complimentary hearing screen. This includes tympanometry to test your middle-ear health and Pure Tone Audiometry to assess your hearing thresholds. Your clinician will advise on the best proactive steps to preserve your ear health in the future.

Hearing loss is a common problem that often develops with age, regular exposure to loud noise and for some it can develop in childhood. Hearing loss varies from person to person and your experience of it can differ depending on your type of loss as well as its severity.

 At Tranquil hearing care we provide expert hearing care services that allow you to re-enter conversation and improve your quality of life in a safe, welcoming and understanding environment.

 Our hearing aids are tailored specifically to you, your needs, your experience and your hearing loss and our expert audiologists will be there to help you along the length of your journey from initial testing to ongoing aftercare.

At Tranquil Hearing Care, our Full Hearing Assessments give us an opportunity to understand what you're experiencing and how best we can support you.

Pure Tone Audiometry ( PTA)

We test your hearing thresholds across a number of frequencies giving us accurate measurements of where your hearing is currently. Performed in our soundproof booth, our tests are accurate and efficient. Air conduction, bone conduction and masking is carried out as needed.

Tympanometry

We test the function of your ear drum (tympanic membrane) giving us vast information about your middle ear health, helping identify both simple and complex ear health issues such as retraction and middle ear effusion.

Speech Testing

Speech testing can be done to assess more complex issues such as Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) or used as a counselling tool to help understand how you perform in different auditory environments.

What is Auditory Processing Disorder (APD)

Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) is a condition where the brain struggles to process and interpret sounds correctly, despite normal hearing ability. Individuals with APD may hear sounds clearly, but their brain has difficulty making sense of the information, especially in environments with background noise or when multiple speakers are involved. This can lead to challenges in understanding spoken language, following instructions, or distinguishing between similar sounds.

In children, APD often manifests as difficulty in school, where they may seem inattentive, have trouble following verbal instructions, or struggle with reading and spelling. These difficulties can sometimes be mistaken for learning disabilities or attention disorders, but APD specifically relates to how the brain processes auditory information. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial in helping children develop coping strategies and improve their auditory processing skills.

Adults with APD may experience challenges in social settings or at work, where following conversations or instructions can become overwhelming, particularly in noisy environments. Some adults may have had the disorder since childhood but were never diagnosed, while others can develop APD later in life due to brain injuries, ageing, or neurological conditions. With proper testing and tailored strategies, individuals with APD can improve their ability to process auditory information.

When is Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA) Testing Required?

Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA) is a crucial test for accurately measuring your hearing ability across different sound frequencies. During the test, you'll wear headphones and listen to a series of tones at various pitches and volumes. The goal is to determine the quietest sounds you can hear at each frequency, which helps identify the degree and type of hearing loss you may have. PTA is a painless and non-invasive procedure that provides essential data on your auditory health.

Once the PTA test is complete, our expert audiologist will carefully analyse the results to pinpoint any areas of hearing loss or auditory sensitivity. This information allows us to tailor a treatment plan specific to your needs, whether it involves hearing aids, sound therapy, or further medical evaluation. By addressing hearing issues early, you can preserve your hearing health and improve your quality of life.

What Happens If Hearing Loss Is Identified?

During your advanced hearing assessment at Tranquil Hearing Care, we go beyond simply diagnosing your hearing challenges. If our tests reveal that you are a candidate for hearing aids, we offer a unique opportunity to experience the benefits first-hand. As part of your assessment, our audiologist will demonstrate a range of hearing aids, programmed to match your specific hearing loss. This allows you to immediately hear the difference that hearing aids can make, giving you a clearer understanding of how they can improve your day-to-day life.

To ensure your hearing aids are comfortable and effective, we take precise measurements of your ear for a perfect fit. Our advanced fitting techniques ensure that your hearing aids not only feel comfortable, but also function optimally. We also offer a variety of hearing aid types and styles, from discreet in-ear devices to behind-the-ear models, so you can choose the option that best suits your lifestyle and preferences.

Once your hearing aids are programmed and fitted, we’ll guide you through how to use and maintain them. With multiple options available, our audiologist will help you make an informed decision based on your specific hearing needs, ensuring you leave the appointment with confidence and a clear path toward better hearing.
