Available Monday–Saturday with same-day appointments often available. No GP referral. No waiting lists. Independent & Impartial We recommend what's genuinely best for you — never tied to a single manufacturer or sales target. [Book Assessment](#book) What Happens During Testing ## Your Cardiff hearing test appointment 00 ### Consultation & history Your audiologist discusses concerns, lifestyle, medical background, and the situations where you struggle — shaping the whole assessment. 00 ### Visual ear exam We check ear canal health with an otoscope, spotting wax or physical issues that need addressing before testing. Wax found? We may recommend microsuction first. 00 ### Pure tone audiometry Wearing headphones, you press a button each time you hear a tone at varying pitches and volumes — mapping your full hearing range. 00 ### Speech & bone conduction We assess speech comprehension and run bone conduction to distinguish inner ear from middle ear issues. Then we explain everything in plain English. Most assessments take 45–60 minutes — you'll leave with complete clarity. [Book Your Test](#book) ![A patient seated in a sound-treated booth wearing over-ear audiometric headphones for a hearing test](/__l5e/assets-v1/7fbca5f9-e340-47cb-9b02-ed9413e37841/inside-the-booth.jpg) Inside the Clinic ## Calm, unhurried testing in a clinical environment Your assessment takes place at the Whitchurch clinic. We use calibrated audiometric equipment to measure your hearing across the full speech and frequency spectrum. Real-world hearing depends on understanding speech, not just detecting tones — so we test both. Bone conduction adds a third layer, distinguishing inner ear from middle ear issues. You'll see your audiogram on screen and leave knowing exactly where your hearing sits and what it means for daily life. **Good to know:** Your £40 hearing test fee is waived if you proceed with hearing aids.
