AUDIOCLINIQUE · YOUR CARE PATHWAY
Audiology consultation
We specialise in preventing hearing damage. We advise on protecting your hearing in noisy settings and help select suitable options, from earmuffs to custom earplugs.
An audiology consultation is a specialist service to assess, diagnose and manage hearing and balance disorders. It includes:
Hearing assessment:
Audiometric tests determine the type and degree of hearing loss.
Assessment of inner ear and central auditory system function.
Diagnosis:
Identifying the causes of hearing loss and related disorders such as tinnitus and vertigo.
Treatment and rehabilitation:
Prescribing and fitting hearing aids and other devices.
Prevention:
Providing advice on hearing protection.
An audiology consultation is essential for anyone who suspects hearing or balance problems, providing an individual pathway to address and manage them.
COCHLEAR IMPLANT FITTING
Cochlear implant fitting is an essential, individual process after implant surgery. The specialist adjusts and programmes the implant to optimise the patient’s perception of sound.
Key aspects
Personalisation:
Each person’s hearing experience is unique. Fitting tailors the implant to their specific needs.
Mapping:
The specialist creates a hearing map by adjusting electrical stimulation levels for each implant electrode.
This determines how sounds at different frequencies and intensities are perceived.
Parameter adjustment:
The specialist sets parameters including:
- Threshold levels: the softest sounds the patient can hear.
- Comfort levels: the loudest sounds the patient can comfortably tolerate.
- Sound processing strategies: algorithms to improve speech understanding.
Follow-up:
Fitting is ongoing. Follow-up sessions are needed to optimise implant performance over time and respond to changing needs.
Fitting helps turn the implant’s electrical signals into meaningful sounds, supporting speech understanding and quality of life.
What it is used for
- Preventing noise-induced hearing loss: Continued exposure to loud sounds can damage hearing irreversibly. Appropriate prevention can reduce the risk of permanent damage.
- Choosing suitable protection: Based on your needs and living or working environment, we recommend suitable devices such as custom earplugs or professional noise-reducing earmuffs.
- Prevention education: We explain how to protect hearing in everyday life and develop habits that reduce harmful noise exposure.
Who is it for?
- People with sound sensitivity: Appropriate protection can help people with hyperacusis or tinnitus reduce discomfort and improve quality of life.
- Children and young people: Even occasional exposure to loud noise can harm hearing at an early age. Prevention matters from childhood.
- Sportspeople and visitors to loud events: Motorsport, hunting, concerts and clubs require appropriate protection against loud sound exposure.
- Musicians and entertainment professionals: Prolonged exposure to loud sound can damage hearing over time. We offer protection designed for these needs.
- Workers exposed to noise: People working in industrial, construction, airport or music settings where noise levels are high and sustained.
