Comprehensive Hearing Tests

A hearing test is a clinical assessment designed to measure how well you hear different sounds and speech in everyday situations. Hearing tests at our Kensington clinic are provided at no cost.

At Kensington Hearing, hearing tests are clinically focused and never sales-led. As an independent clinic, we focus on clinical accuracy, patient understanding, and appropriate advice based on your individual results.

If hearing loss is identified, we can also advise on appropriate next steps, including modern hearing aids, where clinically appropriate.

Who Performs Your Hearing Test

Your hearing test is conducted by a senior audiologist who is:

  • Registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC)
  • A full member of the British Society of Hearing Aid Audiologists (BSHAA)
  • Experienced in diagnosing age-related, noise-related, and complex hearing difficulties

Professional registration and experience matter. Hearing tests require clinical judgement, not just equipment, and results should always be interpreted by a qualified healthcare professional. 

Some hearing test outcomes require ear wax removal first.

What a Hearing Test Involves

A hearing test is a clinical assessment that measures how well you hear sounds and speech, helping identify changes in hearing that may affect everyday communication.
1

Before the Test

Your audiologist will begin by discussing any hearing difficulties you have noticed, along with relevant medical history, noise exposure, and symptoms such as tinnitus, balance concerns, or ear discomfort. Time is taken to understand how hearing affects your work, social life, and day-to-day communication.
2

During the Hearing Test

Testing includes a visual examination of the ear canal and eardrum, followed by a series of painless listening tests that measure hearing sensitivity across different frequencies. Speech-based assessments may also be used to assess how clearly you understand speech in real-world situations. All testing is non-invasive, comfortable, and carried out at a professional, considered pace.
3

After the Test

Once testing is complete, your audiologist will explain your results clearly and calmly, including your audiogram and what it means for everyday hearing. If any next steps are recommended, these are discussed openly, with time for questions and no obligation to proceed.

FAQs About The Service

There are many questions about the service, we have selected frequently asked questions about this service. If you do not see your answer, please contact us.

Why are hearing tests important?
Hearing loss often develops gradually, meaning many people are unaware of changes until communication becomes difficult. Regular hearing tests help identify early signs of hearing loss, allowing appropriate advice or treatment before it begins to affect work, relationships, balance, or cognitive health.
How long does a hearing test take?
The hearing test itself typically takes 15–25 minutes, depending on complexity. Your full appointment lasts around 45–60 minutes, allowing time to review results, ask questions, and discuss any recommended next steps.
Are hearing tests free at Kensington Hearing?
Yes. We offer private hearing tests at our Kensington clinic. Your results are explained clearly, with no obligation to proceed with further treatment or hearing aids.
Who performs my hearing test?
All hearing tests at Kensington Hearing are carried out by senior, HCPC-registered audiologists who are fully qualified to assess, diagnose, and interpret hearing difficulties. Clinical judgement and experience are central to accurate testing.
What happens if hearing loss is detected?
If hearing loss is identified, your audiologist will explain the results, discuss possible causes, and outline appropriate options. These may include monitoring, hearing aids, or referral for further medical investigation where necessary. Any recommendations are made openly and without pressure.
Why choose Kensington Hearing for a hearing test?
As an independent clinic, we offer unrushed appointments, senior-level audiology care, and clear, honest advice. Our focus is on clinical accuracy and patient understanding rather than high-volume testing or sales-led outcomes.
