Hearing plays an important role in communication, social connection, learning, maintaining a safe and functional work environment, and overall quality of life. Hearing difficulties can develop gradually or occur suddenly, and may affect people of all ages. Some people may notice that they have difficulty following conversations, frequently asking others to repeat themselves, turn the television volume up, or experience ringing or other sounds in their ears.
Hearing changes can sometimes be difficult to recognise, particularly when they develop gradually. A comprehensive hearing assessment can help identify whether there are any hearing difficulties, understand their nature and severity, and determine whether further management, intervention or support may be appropriate.
At Valewood Clinic, Ash Gupta, our visiting audiologist, provides professional audiology services and personalised guidance for people experiencing hearing or communication difficulties, or seeking interventions to protect their hearing.
Assessments and support are tailored to your individual concerns, hearing history and
goals, with results and services explained clearly so that you can understand your
hearing health and available options.
Audiology services that are provided include diagnostic assessments, earwax microsuctions, full hearing tests, hearing aids assessments, hearing aids, custom earplugs, police academy and pre-employment medicals.
Whether you have noticed a gradual change in your hearing, have concerns about your hearing health, require a work medical or simply feel that your hearing should be checked, Ash Gupta can provide professional assessments, clear information and practical guidance to help you achieve your health goals.
Ash Gupta is available at Valewood Clinic every Saturday.
