Hearing Loss Affects 1 in 6 Australians
Hearing loss is one of the most common health conditions in Australia, yet it often goes untreated for years. The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare reports that 3.6 million Australians live with some degree of hearing difficulty. That number is projected to double by 2060 as the population ages.
Research published in The Lancet identified hearing loss as the single largest modifiable risk factor for dementia, accounting for 8% of cases. Early detection through a professional hearing test gives you the best chance of protecting both your hearing and your cognitive health.

What Happens During a Hearing Test
A comprehensive hearing test at SoundClear takes approximately 60 minutes and covers six key stages. Here is what to expect at each step.
Case History
Your audiologist discusses your hearing concerns, medical history, medications, and lifestyle to understand your unique situation.
Ear Examination
A gentle otoscope examination checks for wax build-up, infection, or structural issues in your ear canal and eardrum.
Pure Tone Testing
You listen to tones at various pitches through headphones and press a button when you hear them. This maps your hearing across all frequencies.
Speech Testing
We measure how clearly you understand spoken words at comfortable volumes, which reveals how hearing loss affects your daily communication.
Middle Ear Check
Tympanometry assesses how well your eardrum and middle ear are functioning, identifying fluid, stiffness, or pressure issues.
Results Discussion
Your audiologist explains your audiogram in plain language, answers questions, and recommends next steps tailored to your results.
