We're here to help you every step of the way. You will have a formal consultation with the audiologist of your choice. During this time you will be able to explain your medical history, symptoms and any concerns you might have.
Your audiologist will discuss your medical history with you and perform a thorough assessment of your condition. They will also discuss with you whether they feel any other tests are needed.
