Cochlear Implant Assessment – Evaluating Your Hearing Needs

Audiometry

A comprehensive hearing test used to measure how well you hear different sounds and at different loudness levels. It helps identify the degree and type of hearing loss.

Tympanometry

An assessment of the middle ear that evaluates eardrum movement and middle-ear function. It can help identify conditions affecting normal ear function.

OAE

Otoacoustic Emission

A specialised test that checks the response of the inner ear to sound. OAE is commonly used for hearing screening in newborns and hearing assessment in infants and adults.

Brain Evoked Response Audiometry (BERA / ABR)

A specialised hearing assessment that records the brain's neural response to sound. It can be useful when conventional hearing tests are difficult to perform or when objective assessment is required.

Speech & Language Therapy

Speech and language therapy supports children and adults with difficulties in speech, language and communication. Therapy is planned according to individual communication needs.

Auditory Verbal Therapy

A specialised approach that helps children with hearing loss develop listening and spoken communication skills through structured auditory learning and family involvement.

Voice & Swallowing

Assessment and rehabilitation support for concerns related to voice, speech production and swallowing. Appropriate evaluation helps understand the underlying communication or swallowing difficulty.

Vestibular & Balance Assessment

A specialised assessment for individuals experiencing dizziness, vertigo or balance difficulties. Vestibular testing helps evaluate the balance system and guide appropriate clinical care.

Tinnitus Management

Tinnitus is the perception of sounds ringing or buzzing without an external source. Assessment helps understand the individual's hearing and tinnitus profile and identify appropriate management strategies.
