Hearing Clinic

I need a hearing assessment and there is a 2 year waiting list to be assessed at public clinic. Does anyone know of a clinic/consultant that I could go to privately? Many thanks

Are you talking about the standard test where you sit in a booth with a headset on and press buttons whenever you hear sounds of varying pitch? I know they have this facility in The Keogh Practice up in Ballybricken (or at least they did a few years ago).

Thanks for your reply. I am not really sure what sort of test I need as have never had one previously. Is Keoghs a medical practice or a hearing aid centre do you know?

You're welcome! It's a medical practice. I'd say that is the test you're thinking of. I had one done in Keogh's before they refurbished the place.

Here's their website:

Audiometery is the service you require...and they look to have it.

Many thanks to all for their helpful replies and especially to GScully. You have all helped to set me on the right track which is exactly what I wanted.

Have just found a really good site whilst browsing, it has loads of useful information on hearing loss:
