Your request is reviewed
The consultant can use your age range, current hearing-aid status, listening situation and preferred setting to understand the context of your enquiry.
We have collected the preferences you chose so that the next conversation can focus on what matters to you, rather than asking you to repeat the same background information.
Your answers are a starting point, not a diagnosis. The next steps are designed to move from everyday listening needs to an appropriate professional assessment before any hearing aid decision.
Think about two or three situations where listening feels most difficult and, if possible, note when the change began. If you already use hearing aids, bring them and any information you have about the devices. It can also be useful to have a family member or friend attend if you want another person to help describe what they have noticed.
If you suddenly lose hearing in one or both ears, seek urgent medical advice. RNID advises contacting NHS 111 or your GP urgently for sudden hearing loss. Severe ear pain, discharge, acute dizziness or other concerning symptoms should also be discussed with an appropriate healthcare service rather than waiting for a routine hearing-aid enquiry.
You can return to the hearing guide at any time. If you need to correct your contact details or discuss the enquiry, use the company information on the contact page.
