Remote Hearing Tests
Test your hearing from the comfort of your home with our remote hearing tests. We offer two types of remote hearing tests:
Remote Hearing Test Kit
Upon choosing this option, we will send a remote hearing test kit to your home via post. This test kit contains detailed and easy-to-follow instructions that you can conduct on your own to receive medically accurate hearing test results. After you have completed the test, you will be able to see your results in real time during a follow up consultation with our audiologists.
In-situ Audiometry (Senso-gram)
This hearing test is designed to be done with hearing aids. By connecting directly to your hearing aid device, our audiologist can remotely measure your hearing responses by producing test tones in your ears. Using this data, our audiologists can identify any hearing issues you may have, or track the progress of your hearing health.
Tinnitus Diagnosis, Treatment & Management
Our remote audiology services can assist in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of tinnitus. Tinnitus can be a debilitating condition to live with, but its impact on your life can be mitigated with proper specialised treatment. Our audiologists will conduct hearing tests to determine if you have tinnitus, and provide strategies through counselling to help you manage the symptoms.
Hearing Aid Testing & Calibration
Your hearing aids will need to be adjusted over time to match your level of hearing. A remote audiologist can help to carefully identify and adjust the sound settings of your hearing aids to provide greater sound quality and clarity, through in-situ audiometry over a video call. This process will involve the audiologist producing test tones in your hearing aids and recoding your responses to find out how they can be better adjusted.
The Benefits of Harmony Hearing’s Remote Care
Convenience:
Easy, quick access to appointments is the comfort & safety of your own home or anywhere. No need to commute into a busy clinic. This saves the hassles and expense of having to drive in, park and wait in the clinic for your appointment. You are not isolated by distance or due to immobility from illness, frailty or injury. You still receive face to face communication (via video chat if desired).

Why risk attending a public clinic visited by many people from all walks of life when you don’t have to? Remote Care maintains safe social distancing and you still keep in touch.

Your hearing aids are programmed in your ‘real world’ environments. Whether that’s at home, the workplace or an environment of your choosing.

Now you can talk with those around you and immediately see whether any adjustment has made an improvement.
