What an audiologist does for your ears
An audiologist examines how sound travels through your ear and how your brain processes it. They use specific tests to separate wax build-up from nerve changes and decide which treatment fits.

Common problems
Why Manchester residents book an audiologist
Hearing changes happen slowly. You might notice them first in noisy places or when someone speaks quietly across the room.
- Speech sounds muffled Conversations feel like people are mumbling. The audiologist checks whether sound is being blocked before it reaches the inner ear or if the nerves are less responsive.
- Ringing or buzzing noises A constant hum or high-pitched ring can follow loud noise exposure. The specialist traces its origin to rule out infection or pressure changes.
- Struggling in busy rooms Background noise drowns out the person you want to hear. The audiologist tests how well your brain separates speech from competing sounds.
- One ear feels blocked A sudden fullness in one ear often points to trapped wax or fluid. The specialist examines the canal to see what is causing the pressure.

How an audiologist examines your hearing
The order of these checks matters because each result shapes the next step. Starting with the simplest cause prevents unnecessary testing and points straight to the right treatment.
-
Visual inspection of the ear canal
The audiologist uses an otoscope to look for wax, fluid or damage to the eardrum. This rules out physical blockages before any sound-based testing begins.
-
Tympanometry
A soft probe changes air pressure in the ear canal to measure how the eardrum moves. It identifies middle ear fluid or stiffness behind the drum.
-
Pure tone audiometry
You listen to tones at different pitches through headphones and press a button when you hear them. This maps the exact frequencies where hearing has dropped.
-
Speech discrimination testing
The audiologist reads words at comfortable volumes and asks you to repeat them. It shows how clearly your brain processes speech rather than just detecting sound.
If results conflict, the audiologist repeats the tests or refers you for further imaging to clarify the cause.
