What we offer:

Audiology Services Horncastle

Online hearing Test

Our online hearing test can provide you with instant feedback as the test only takes three minutes. We recommend you take the test in a quiet area with limited distractions, so your test results can be as accurate as possible.

If you are not comfortable doing your hearing tests online, consider being tested in one of our Sound Advice Hearing Centres.

In-branch Hearing Test

An in-branch hearing test takes about an hour, and an experienced audiologist will help you every step of the way. Consider bringing a companion with you to help you hear the instructions and keep the process as smooth as possible. Bring any auditory devices such as hearing aids and a complete list of your medications when you come into our branch for a hearing test. This way, we can assess the severity of your condition and know how to best treat you and your condition.

The in-branch hearing test can include various testing, depending on your specific circumstances. Patients may have an extended frequency range test, which pushes the entire hearing spectrum to 20,000 hertz. A video otoscopy may be required as well. This test takes a video inside the ear canal to assess any damage or blockage.

Other tests include tympanometry, which tests the function of the middle ear, a tinnitus assessment, speech testing, and speech in noise testing. If you decide to get your hearing tested at Sound Advice Hearing Centres, you can be sure that we will identify the solutions needed for your circumstance.

Hearing Aid Maintenance

If you have a hearing aid, you know how important it is to keep them clean and up-to-date. A hearing aid that’s clean and well maintained will not only have better performance, but it’ll last longer, saving you money.

Clean your hearing aids every day. Make sure that you wash and dry your hands before doing so. Use a dry cloth or tissue to clean the hearing aid. Remember not to use any liquids, including alcohol, water, or cleaning products, as these can damage your device.

When cleaning your hearing aids, hold them over a soft surface. Hearing aids are somewhat fragile, and if they are dropped from a significant height or onto a hard surface, they may become damaged. Also, when not in use, store your hearing aids safely on a flat surface, preferably a soft towel or cloth.

Ear Wax Removal

Ear wax protects our ears against infection. It’s natural and important, so leave it alone if ear wax is not causing you any sort of issue. Most people don’t require their ears to be cleaned because these body parts are self-cleaning.

However, in some instances, ear wax may build up. Sometimes impacted ear wax happens due to the size or shape of an ear canal. Other times, ear wax builds up because it has been pushed farther into the ear canal by a hearing aid or earbud. If an accumulation of ear wax becomes uncomfortable or interferes with using a hearing aid, it may need to be addressed as it can be harmful.

Tinnitus Management

Tinnitus can start suddenly or materialise gradually. Due to the non-specify of the symptom , there are hundreds of etiologist associated with tinnitus, most, but not all, associated with hearing impairment. Among the causes are noise induced hearing loss, neurological damage (multiple sclerosis), emotional stress, tiredness, oxidative stress, wax build up, ear infections, foreign objects in the ear canal, exposure to loud sounds (noisy equipment, concerts etc), head trauma or some diseases of the ear, however, for some people the cause isn’t clear.
Activities such as smoking, drinking alcohol or caffeine, and taking ‘excessive’ amounts of aspirin or antibiotics may exacerbate tinnitus. As there are so many different factors that can lead to, or worsen tinnitus, there is a plethora of ongoing research in to the exact cause of the condition.

Receptionist

I have recently joined Sound Advice after 26 years of working in a GP surgery. Firstly as a receptionist, and then working my way up to Dispensary Manager. I have two grown up children and grandchildren, and love spending time with them. I’m often on the school run! Holidaying with my partner is one of my favourite things to do, whether it’s at home or abroad. My hobbies include Aquacise, Pilates and reading. I also love a catch up with friends over coffee or lunch.
