Looking for an adult hearing test on Sydney’s Northern Beaches? At The Audiology Place in Forestville, we provide comprehensive adult hearing assessments that go beyond a quick screen. Led by Dr Signe Steers (Audiologist), our independent clinic uses evidence-based testing in sound-treated rooms to pinpoint the cause of difficulties like missing conversation in cafés, turning up the TV, tinnitus, or a blocked-ear sensation. You don’t need a GP referral to book; in some cases a referral may enable a Medicare rebate—we’ll advise you on the best pathway.
Your hearing test for adults includes a detailed history, otoscopic ear health check, tympanometry and acoustic reflexes, pure-tone and bone-conduction thresholds, speech testing (including speech-in-noise), and—when indicated—extended high-frequency testing and OAEs to detect early inner-ear changes. If wax is contributing to the problem, we offer gentle microsuction ear wax removal on the spot. You’ll receive same-day results in plain English and a practical plan to improve clarity in the real world.
If amplification is recommended, we fit all major hearing aid brands independently (we’re not owned by a manufacturer), using real-ear measurements to precisely tune devices to your prescription. We also provide custom earplugs for work, swimming and music, tinnitus strategies, and ongoing follow-up so your hearing stays comfortable and stable over time.
