Why Choose Pindrop Hearing For Your Private Hearing Test?

Your hearing affects conversations, confidence, work, relationships, and everyday life — so your hearing test should never feel rushed or transactional.

At Pindrop Hearing, our assessments are designed to give you clear answers, honest advice, and a complete understanding of your hearing health, all delivered by experienced independent audiologists.

We are also one of the very few Hearing Clinics that are registered with and regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

Truly Independent Recommendations

Unlike many high street providers, we are completely independent. That means if hearing aids are recommended, we can advise on the most suitable technology from all leading hearing aid manufacturers — based entirely on your needs, lifestyle, and budget.

Experienced Clinical Audiologists

Our team is led by Rony Ganguly, Doctor of Audiology, alongside experienced clinical audiologists who take the time to understand not just your hearing results, but how hearing difficulties affect your daily life.

Comprehensive Diagnostic Testing

Your appointment includes far more than a basic hearing screen. We carry out detailed diagnostic assessments designed to identify the type, severity, and likely cause of hearing loss, helping us recommend the most appropriate next steps.

Your 90 minute Pindrop Hearing Assessment

In-Depth Consultation & Clinical Check

Your appointment begins with a listening needs assessment to discuss your individual hearing requirements. Your audiologist will then perform a visual ear examination using video otoscopy to check for obstructions; any earwax present will be removed at this stage to ensure the most accurate testing environment.

Middle Ear Assessment

Tympanometry is performed to evaluate middle ear function by measuring pressure and eardrum movement.

This test helps identify potential issues like fluid buildup or perforations, which can affect hearing.

Hearing Sensitivity Testing

Pure tone audiometry, conducted in a soundproof room, measures your hearing sensitivity across various frequencies using air and bone conduction.

This test determines the type and degree of any hearing loss.

Speech Understanding Evaluation

A speech-in-noise test assesses your ability to understand speech in noisy environments.

This test measures your speech discrimination by having you repeat sentences presented against background noise, simulating real-world listening challenges.

Your Results and Personalised Plan

The audiologist will explain your test results, detailing any hearing loss and its potential causes.

A discussion of your listening needs and lifestyle will follow, leading to personalised recommendations, which may include hearing aids.

If needed, hearing aid options will be discussed, and a fitting appointment will be scheduled.

What is pure Tone Audiometry with AC BC & Masking?

This is a standard hearing test performed through headphones where you will be asked to respond by pressing a button every time you hear a sound. We can modify the test for paediatric patients (find out more here)

 

What is Tympanometry?

A test of middle ear function to check the middle ear pressure to help in the diagnosis of middle ear conditions such as glue ear or eustachian tube dysfunction.

 

What is Speech Audiometry?

This is a test to determine how well you can hear speech at soft levels with and without background noise. You will be asked to repeat sentences presented to you through headphones or through loudspeakers. The volume level will be varied to determine the quietest level you can correctly identify speech (Speech reception threshold) and this will be compared to normal hearing.

 

I need a paediatric audiology assessment for my child

We use a range of age appropriate methods to test your child’s hearing. For more details please visit our Paediatric Audiology page here.

 

What is Vestibular testing?

We provide a full range of tests to measure the balance function in the inner ear for patients suffering with vertigo or imbalance. For full details please click here

 

Who will I be seeing?

You will be seeing a Clinical Audiologist, who is a University Graduate, qualified with a Bachelors or Masters Degree in Audiology and has completed their full practical audiological training in all aspects of clinical audiology in a clinical setting. At Pindrop Hearing we do not employ Hearing Aid Dispensers (also known as Hearing Aid Audiologists), or Healthcare assistants.
Read about our team members here.

What happens after my appointment?

Once you and your audiologist have chosen the perfect hearing aids for you (if needed) the aids can be ordered ready for fitting and your 40 Risk-Free trial period.

During your follow up appointment we will repeat the Speech In Noise test with you wearing your new hearing aids, so that we can compare to the results achieved with your old hearing aids. Therefore we can objectively measure the improvement.
