Complete case history
We start by understanding you: the environments where you struggle most, your medical history, your lifestyle, and what you’re hoping to get out of today. Your audiologist is listening before they test a single thing.

Hearing Assessment Sydney
A 60 minute assessment that tells you exactly where you stand
This isn’t a ‘free hearing test’ designed to get you into a chair and hand you a brochure. It’s a comprehensive clinical evaluation (the kind ENT specialists rely on for their patients), followed by a thorough discussion of your results and all the options available to you. Here’s what your assessment covers:
Otoscopy (ear canal examination)
A careful look inside your ears to rule out physical causes of hearing difficulty, including wax build-up, infection, or structural concerns. Sometimes the answer is simpler than you think.
Comprehensive pure tone audiometry
The core hearing test, measuring your hearing thresholds across different pitches in a calibrated sound booth. This tells us precisely which frequencies you’re struggling with and the degree of any hearing loss.
Speech testing
Pure tone results don't tell the whole story. Speech testing measures how well you actually understand words — not just hear them. Because hearing and understanding are two very different things.
Middle Ear & Acoustic Reflex Testing
Quick, painless tests. Tympanometry checks for middle ear issues like fluid buildup, Eustachian tube problems, or dysfunction of the tiny bones that conduct sound. Acoustic reflex testing assesses your hearing nerve pathways — abnormal results can indicate problems beyond the middle ear that require further investigation.
Full results discussion and personalised recommendations
Your clinician explains exactly what your results mean, in plain language. We discuss all appropriate solutions — hearing aids, cochlear implants, BAHA, assistive listening devices, or ENT referral if needed. If none of these are necessary yet, we tell you that honestly.
Independent Audiologist Sydney
A thorough clinical assessment
Most retail hearing clinics offer free hearing tests because they aren’t really clinical assessments. They’re qualification tools, designed to move you toward a purchase within 30 minutes. At Precision Hearing, we charge for our assessment because we value it as a professional clinical service. There’s no ‘free’ version where you get less. There’s just one thorough, honest evaluation.
No sales targets. No brand restrictions.
We’re an independent family business, not a corporate chain with monthly quotas. We can recommend any brand that suits your hearing, your lifestyle, and your budget. If hearing aids aren’t the right answer, we’ll say so.
Time to actually understand your hearing.
Proper diagnostic audiology takes time. Our assessments run 60 minutes. Chain clinics routinely compress this into 20-30 minutes. Enough time to give you a number, not enough to understand what it means for your life.
27 years of clinical experience.
Precision Hearing has been providing diagnostic hearing and balance assessments in Sydney since 1999. We were founded on an ENT surgical model and we’re still built around clinical rigour, not retail volume.
One place for everything.
If your assessment reveals something beyond standard hearing loss (a balance disorder, cochlear implant candidacy, a condition requiring medical attention) we handle it here or coordinate directly with our ENT colleagues. No referral fragmentation.
The difference is genuine care, not a commission.
Family-owned. Clinically led.
Hearing Test Results
You’ll leave knowing exactly where you stand, and what your options are.
Three outcomes can come from your assessment:
Your hearing is within normal limits.
We’ll document your baseline results and advise on when to retest. If you’re proactively checking in, that’s exactly the right approach.
Hearing aids would help.
If we recommend devices, you can proceed to a 30-day trial across multiple premium brands, at no trial fee. You wear them in your actual life: restaurants, family gatherings, meetings. Then you decide.
Something else needs attention.
If your results suggest a medical issue, Bone Anchored Hearing aid, cochlear implant candidacy, vestibular (balance) testing, or an ENT referral, we’ll explain exactly what’s needed and arrange it. You’re not sent off with a piece of paper and a phone number.
No pressure. No surprises.

Frequently asked questions
No, you can book directly. However, a GP referral makes your assessment eligible for a Medicare rebate, which reduces your out-of-pocket cost. We recommend asking your GP for one if you haven’t already.
A significant one. Free hearing tests at retail chains are typically 20-30 minute screening tools designed to qualify you for a hearing aid sale. Our assessment is a 60 minute clinical evaluation with full diagnostic testing, a thorough results discussion, and honest recommendations, whether or not that leads to a purchase.
Yes, and often this is the best time. We’ll give you an honest answer about whether you need intervention now or whether monitoring is appropriate. Early assessment also gives us a baseline to track changes over time. We’d rather tell you to come back in a year than send you home with devices you don’t need.
That’s worth investigating. Previous hearing aids often fail because of poor fitting, insufficient follow-up, or the wrong technology for that person’s specific hearing loss. Our assessment will identify what’s actually happening. If new devices would make a meaningful difference, you can trial them for 30 days before committing to anything.
Your assessment includes middle ear function testing (tympanometry) as standard. If you’re also experiencing dizziness, tinnitus, or balance problems, mention this when you book. We can ensure the appropriate tests are included or scheduled separately.
Precision Hearing offers cochlear implant candidacy assessment, bone-anchored hearing aid (BAHA) evaluation, vestibular (balance) testing, and direct ENT referral. If your hearing needs go beyond standard amplification, you’re in the right place.
