Diagnostic Hearing Testing for All Ages
What's Involved In a Diagnostic Hearing Test?
For new patients, we schedule a 90-minute appointment, giving us the time needed to perform a full clinical assessment, explain the results, and discuss treatment or rehabilitation options if required.

- The type and degree of hearing loss
- Your ability to understand speech in quiet and in noise
- Middle-ear function and potential medical concerns
- Whether hearing aids or other treatments would be beneficial
Types of Diagnostic Hearing Assessments We Offer
- Otoscopy (ear canal and eardrum inspection)
- Pure Tone Audiometry (air and bone conduction thresholds)
- Speech Discrimination Testing (quiet and competing noise)
- Tympanometry and Acoustic Reflexes
- Clear explanation of results and treatment options
Costs Of a Diagnostic Hearing Assessment
- Self-funded patients: $145
- Pensioners & Veterans: Fully funded through the Australian Government Hearing Services Program (HSP)(clinic reimbursed $145.48).

Remote Hearing Tests
How Does a Remote Hearing Test Work?
We will post our Remote Hearing Test Kit to your home address after you place an order with Harmony Hearing. Upon receiving the kit, we can assist you remotely through the battery of tests. This is an accurate and clinically validated method of obtaining all your necessary test results.
Remote Video Otoscopy
You are guided to place a probe in your ear with a fitted tip that has a light and a small camera mounted to the tip. The video Otoscope gives us a live view of your ear canals and ear drums (Tympanic membranes). If required we can take a photo to help diagnose any ear health conditions if present.
Remote Audiometric Testing
Upon connecting remotely with the test kit we will guide you through the hearing test recording your responses to the test tones presented. We obtain your air conduction hearing thresholds across a full frequency range.
Results Discussion & Recommendations
We receive your results in real-time. We discuss the results and any follow-up recommendations.
The importance of regular hearing assessments
Getting your hearing tested is an important part of protecting your hearing health. Clear and accurate hearing is vital for conversing with others, actively engage with other people, stay alert, and fully comprehend the world around us. To have good hearing health is a privilege - something that can be protected with regular hearing assessments.
Even if you're not currently experiencing hearing loss or any audio associated symptoms, both children and adults should have their hearing checked regularly (at least every 3-5 years). Those who are over the age of 60 should be going in for routine hearing check ups every 12 months.
A hearing test will assess the quality of hearing, but it can also identify common hearing issues such as:
- Hearing loss, ranging from mild to severe.
- Auditory Processing Disorders (APD), which are common in children, affecting ability to process and understand sounds despite being able to hear.
- Tinnitus: which is characterised by persistent or frequent sounds in the ear that range from high-pitched ringing to whooshing.
- Balance-related issues, including problems with the inner ear that manage the feeling of balance and equilibrium in the body.
- Blockages within the ear from earwax, infections or otosclerosis.
- Damage to the inner ear or auditory nerve.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I get my hearing tested?
A hearing test is always worthwhile - at any age and any stage. A hearing test is recommended if:
- You have difficulty understanding or hearing other people talk
- You hear better on one side than the other
- You experience a persistent ringing or buzzing sound in your ear
- Your ears have been damaged
- Your family has a history of hearing loss
- You have recently experienced trauma to the head
- You have been exposed to loud noises for an extended period of time
Our audiologists recommend getting a hearing assessment every 3-5 years if you are under the age of 60, and every 12 months if you are 60+.
Can you check for tinnitus?
Yes, our hearing tests will be able to diagnose if you have tinnitus. The only exception to this is our free 5-minute online test, which will not be able to identify if you have tinnitus.
How accurate is an online hearing assessment?
Our 5-minute free online hearing test will only provide a rough estimation of potential hearing loss. For an in-depth analysis of your hearing, we recommend booking any of our tests where you have an appointment with our audiologists, such as our remote hearing tests, or an in-clinic free hearing test.
Is a hearing test required for hearing aids?
Yes, doing a comprehensive diagnostic hearing test is an essential step in getting the right hearing aids to assist your hearing ability. Audiologists make use of your diagnostic hearing test results to assess the state of your hearing ability and make a professional diagnosis for the type of hearing aid that will best meet your hearing needs.
Do I need a referral to book a hearing test?
No, you do not need a medical referral to book a hearing test — you can simply make a booking directly with our clinic. However, if you do have any prior medical reports or diagnoses related to your hearing issues, we encourage you to bring x-rays or other relevant documents along as they can be helpful in ensuring a comprehensive diagnosis.
Can you provide treatment for hearing loss?
Yes. After your hearing test with our audiologists, we will spend some time discussing the results of the test with you to help you understand your diagnosis, as well as the available treatment options to address or help with your hearing issues.
Can you remove blocked ear wax?
Yes. Our audiologists use a gentle and specialised process for removing blocked or impacted earwax deep in the ear. This is one of the main services we offer at our clinics, and can be applied after your hearing test if necessary. The process is not painful, can help to restore hearing ability, and prevent further complications to the sensitive parts of the inner ear.
