The Complete Hearing Assessment

Get to the root of your hearing challenges with our Complete Hearing Assessment

hearing examination

A full diagnostic hearing examination that leaves no detail unchecked

Struggling to follow conversations, especially in groups or busy places, can be frustrating and isolating. At Alto, we take the time to get to the root of these challenges with advanced hearing assessments.

The Alto Complete Hearing Assessment goes beyond our Free SoundCheck hearing check. In a 90 minute appointment, we explore eight key areas of hearing and cognitive health, giving you a complete picture.

We assess how your ears are functioning, how well you hear in real-world settings, and how hearing connects with your overall wellbeing. You’ll also experience the difference that amplified sound can make, guided by our expert audiologists.

Because we’re fully independent, our recommendations are always shaped by what’s best for you. We’ll help you find a hearing solution that fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.

Understand exactly what you need to achieve better hearing

The Alto Complete Hearing Assessment is designed to give you a full understanding of your hearing, what may have changed, and the personalised support available to help you reconnect with the sounds and conversations that matter.

Hearing & you

We start by exploring how your hearing affects everyday life; your conversations, relationships, confidence, and overall enjoyment of activities.

Lifestyle sound profile

Together, we identify how hearing loss may be impacting your quality of life, beyond simply hearing less. This helps us focus on solutions that truly make a difference.

Visual ear health inspection

Your audiologist will carefully examine your ears for wax build-up, infections, or any visible concerns, ensuring your ears are healthy and safe.

Middle ear function check

We gently assess your eardrum and middle-ear function using a simple, comfortable pressure test, providing insight into your ear health.

Comprehensive hearing test

A detailed audiological assessment measures how well you hear quiet sounds across different frequencies, critical for understanding speech clearly in everyday situations.

Speech-in-noise testing

We evaluate how well you understand speech in noisy environments, reflecting real-life listening challenges such as restaurants, social gatherings, or busy streets.

Personalised amplification

Finally, you’ll experience how tailored hearing technology could improve your daily listening and enjoyment, helping you reconnect with the sounds that matter most.

Our audiologists are also trained to carry out cognitive screening when necessary, ensuring a complete view of your hearing and overall auditory health.

Is this hearing test for you?

The Complete Hearing Assessment is designed for people who recognise that something has changed and want clear answers. Book this test:

  • If you already know you’re struggling to hear as well as you used to, this is the best place to begin.
  • You have been advised by a GP or other health professional to get a full test
  • You currently wear hearing aids
  • You wanted a detailed, personalised overview of your hearing health

If you’re only beginning to wonder whether your hearing might have shifted, or you’d simply like reassurance with a quick check, we recommend starting with our free SoundCheck appointment instead.

I honestly couldn’t recommend this practice highly enough. From the moment I walked through the door, the experience felt truly personal and welcoming. I booked my appointment online for an appointment the day before Christmas eve, and honestly thought i’d have to wait until the new year as it was on the day prior, The process was simple and easy, few details and your booked in. The practice itself is beautifully decorated with a calm, relaxing atmosphere, which instantly puts you at ease. The team is so lovely and genuinely welcoming, you feel comfortable straight away. Claire and Megan were…

I was using Otex to soften ear wax which led to almost complete deafness in one ear. I already had an appointment with a well known optician brand but it was ten days hence. I walked in to Alto to see if they could see me sooner and within minutes I was in the chair having the procedure. Expertly accomplished and my hearing is now the best it’s been in years. Totally friendly and professional. Highly recommended.

From my initial conversation with Clare—who kindly rearranged my appointment to a more convenient time—to my consultation with Leesa, the service was exceptional from start to finish. I received a warm, professional welcome, a lovely coffee, followed by a thorough examination with clear explanations of the results and next steps. Thank you to the whole team; I couldn’t recommend your service highly enough!

Visited Alto Hearing in Clitheroe for the first time today. Met by a very friendly and professional lady on reception who put me at ease immediately. Very relaxing waiting room and treatment rooms ,spotlessly clean. The audiologist was brilliant,he talked me through the wax removal process and carried out the procedure very efficiently, you can even watch it on the TV monitor,my inner ear looked like something out of a horror movie. All the wax is now gone and I had a hearing check whilst I was there. My hearing is now clear as a bell, best £65 I've spent…

My wife and I had booked back to back appointments with Carl. We found him to be very friendly and patient and gave very thorough examinations with good explanation of his findings. We feel we were given extensive hearing tests and both have benefited from the microsuction Carl administered. Should we require any further assessments in the future we will definitely return. Thank you Carl

Great service, from Reception and Audiologist. As an anxious female in my late 50's, and had never had wax removal, let alone a hearing test, I was put at ease and relieved to share my hearing is good.. Thank you for a great service in a warm welcoming setting.

My husband and I went for a hearing “check” (both not knowing what to expect) Upon entering, we were met by Claire a very friendly receptionist and immediately felt relaxed. We went into the appointment together.The audiologist Andrew was very clear/ thorough in his explanation of what was involved in the procedure/s – which are painless!! Andrew was patient in listening to us and we felt we could ask questions without feeling awkward / silly and more importantly understand the reasons/ logic behind his explanations. We would totally recommend a visit to Alto Hearing even if it’s just for peace…

We had a very good experience. The Receptionist was both cheerful and helpful. Mariia was amazing – her patience, skill and care extracting a very stuck and difficult to remove lump from my husband's ear had to be seen to be believed. He can hear much better now 😁 Thank you for an excellent service.

Very impressed. I was wondering if I had tinnitus and needed ear wax removal . I had my ears examined and various hearing tests , the results of which were shown on the computer and clearly explained. It was all painless and all my questions were answered so I felt very reassured. I had booked for ear wax removal but as I didn't need it doing I only paid for the examinations. The receptionist and audiologist were both lovely and I would certainly recommend this service.

I’ve never needed to visit an audiologist so this was a first. Thankfully managed to get a same day appointment which was fantastic and Only 15 mins away. Lovely lady on reception and very helpful regarding where to park. Filled out their form and met by Megan, the audiologist. Another lovely lady who explained everything. Very informative and gave great advice on next steps. I will certainly use Alto again if needed and would highly recommend to others.

I needed microsuction to remove earwax and managed to get an appointment very quickly at Alto Hearing Market Bosworth. Carl Morley is the most gentle person I have ever had doing this. I highly recommend him, he is both professional and relational. Thank you.

Had a great experience here when I brought my daughter. Leesa took the time to explain and take me through the results of her hearing test and answer any questions I had. Receptionist was also incredibly friendly on the phone. Would definitely recommend and I will be visiting here for any future hearing needs for myself.

From the moment I walked through the door, i was made to feel very welcome and at ease. Much appreciated the cup of tea that was offered too! Andrew was very knowledgeable and thorough in checking my hearing and ear health, and had no problem updating my existing hearing aid settings. I will have no hesitation in returning and can highly recommend them. A great addition to Clitheroe. 5*

My free hearing check with Carl at Alto in Market Bosworth was excellent. Carl was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend visiting Carl at Alto if you have any hearing problems. I will be booking again soon to have a complete hearing assessment at Alto hearing.

What a good experience with this company! Friendly and professional team who put me at ease straight away. Painless procedure with everything explained in a way that was easy to understand without being patronising. Thank you for accommodating my small companion, and I am glad that I have found such a great audiologist in Andrew.
