Consultation & Hearing Test
We offer complimentary initial hearing screenings with every hearing aid purchase. However, for general hearing appointments, service charges are applicable. It’s best to check with your nearest Hearing Plus clinic.
The cost of a hearing test can vary depending on the type of assessment and hearing solution you need. Please note that if you are availing of home visit facilities, hearing test charges may be higher. Contact us directly (Call/WhatsApp: 833-600-1200) to get accurate quotes for specific hearing care solutions.
Common tests include Pure Tone Audiometry, Speech Audiometry, Tympanometry, Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR), and sometimes advanced diagnostic tests if needed. For newborns, audiologists may conduct special tests, like Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE), Automated Auditory Brainstem Response (AABR), etc., since these are suitable for individuals who cannot respond to conventional hearing screenings.
Most hearing tests take about 20–45 minutes, depending on the type and number of assessments performed. However, it’s best to spare enough time while visiting any clinic location because the hearing screening duration may vary depending on your unique hearing needs and challenges.
It’s helpful to bring a valid ID and any previous hearing test reports or medical records. It will help the audiologist assess the underlying cause of your hearing difficulties and evaluate your overall well-being, though it’s not always mandatory.
Yes, children of all ages, including newborns, can be tested. Specialised pediatric hearing assessments are available for accurate evaluation, and these are conducted by highly qualified audiologists.

One of our experts will provide hearing screenings, hearing aid trial and fitting services right in the comfort of your home. Besides, most clinics are equipped with senior-friendly seating, accessible facilities, and personalised care.
In most cases, preliminary results are shared immediately. A detailed report may take a few days, depending on the type of tests. Check with your clinic about the expected time of report delivery.
At Hearing Plus, all hearing diagnostic tests and screenings are conducted by a trained and certified audiologist, who may have a B.A.S.L.P. (Bachelor’s in Speech, Language and Hearing) or M.A.S.L.P. (Master’s in Speech, Language and Hearing) degree, along with a valid audiologist registration given by the RCI (Rehabilitation Council of India). However, an ENT doctor may also be involved if required, particularly for cochlear implant candidates.
No, hearing tests are completely painless and non-invasive. They involve listening to sounds or responding to simple instructions, usually through hand gestures or by pressing a button. For individuals who are unable to respond to sounds, such as newborns or unconscious people, tests like OAE or AABR are conducted, wherein an echo (produced by a healthy cochlea) or brainwave responses are detected.

We do not have in-house ENT doctors, but we work with experienced ENT specialists, who are always available for consultation.

We offer high-quality devices from trusted hearing aid brands like Widex, Phonak, Signia, ReSound, and more, ensuring reliable performance and support.

Many patients notice improvement immediately, but full adaptation may take a few weeks as your brain adjusts to the amplified sound. If you have lived with a prolonged period of untreated hearing loss, your brain may take a longer time to adjust to this new world of sounds. That’s why one should never delay hearing loss treatment or ignore wearing hearing aids.
Hearing aids improve hearing significantly, but cannot fully restore natural hearing. They enhance clarity, speech understanding, and overall auditory experience, mostly through sound amplification, noise reduction, and other advanced technology.
