Check Service AvailabilityWhat Our Patients and Families Say
Sanjana joshi
Had been ignoring difficulty hearing in meetings for almost a year, assuming it would pass. Finally visited EAR360 at the Dhole Patil Road clinic and got a proper Pure Tone Audiometry test done. The audiologist explained my results clearly and recommended a hearing aid that suited my budget without pushing me toward anything expensive. Genuinely a good experience from start to finish.
Mandar Deshpande
I had a constant buzzing sound in my right ear for almost four months before visiting EAR360 near Ruby Hall Hospital. The specialist did a detailed tinnitus assessment and explained the likely cause in simple terms. No other clinic in Pune had given me this much clarity before. The whole visit felt unhurried and professional.
Pooja Kulkarni
We took our daughter for a pediatric hearing assessment at EAR360 Pune after her teacher mentioned some concerns at school. The team was patient with her throughout the BERA test and explained the report clearly afterward, along with a proper plan for next steps. If you are looking for a reliable hearing clinic in Pune for your child, this is a solid option.
Our Services
We offer a comprehensive range of professional audiology and hearing care services. From advanced diagnostic tests to personalized treatment plans and therapy support, our specialists evaluate, diagnose, and manage all hearing and speech-related needs using state-of-the-art technology.
Hearing Test - Pure Tone Audiometry
Pure Tone Audiometry, commonly called PTA, is one of the most important hearing tests used to measure how well a person hears different frequencies. It helps identify the type and degree of hearing loss and is usually the first step before recommending hearing aids or further diagnostic tests.
At Resonnocare, Pure Tone Audiometry is performed in a sound-proof room so the audiologist can understand your hearing needs and explain the results clearly.
BERA / ABR Testing
BERA (Brainstem Auditory Evoked Response) or ABR Testing is a specialized hearing test used to assess how the auditory nerve and brainstem respond to sound. It is commonly recommended for newborns, infants, young children, or patients who cannot reliably respond during regular hearing tests.
At Resonnocare, BERA / ABR testing is used for accurate diagnosis in cases where behavioral hearing testing is difficult or incomplete.
Hearing Aids
If you have hearing loss and find hearing aids may help, our expert team provides support including consultation and fitting support. We offer recommendations based on your hearing test results, lifestyle, communication needs, and budget.
Patients can explore different types of hearing aids, including behind-the-ear options, invisible-in-the-canal devices, rechargeable models, and advanced digital hearing aids.
OAE Testing
OAE Testing measures the response of the inner ear, especially the outer hair cells of the cochlea. It is a quick, objective test commonly used for newborn hearing screening and to evaluate hearing in infants.
At Resonnocare, OAE testing helps identify whether the inner ear is functioning correctly and whether further testing may be required.
Speech Audiometry
Speech Audiometry helps determine how well a person can understand speech in different sounds. This test is especially useful when patients state, "I can hear people talking, but I cannot understand the words clearly."
At Resonnocare, speech audiometry helps the audiologist understand your hearing difficulties and recommend suitable treatment, hearing aid settings, or rehabilitation support.
Sleep Apnea Diagnostics & Management
Sleep Apnea is a sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. Common signs include loud snoring, choking during sleep, morning headache, daytime sleepiness, poor concentration, and fatigue even after a full night's sleep.
At Resonnocare, our team helps identify the underlying cause and supports appropriate management to restore healthy sleep.
Pediatric Hearing Assessment
Children may not always be able to describe hearing difficulties. Delayed speech development, poor response to sounds, and difficulty in following instructions can indicate the need for a pediatric hearing assessment.
We provide age-appropriate hearing assessment for children. The goal is to detect hearing concerns early and guide parents with the right next steps, whether that includes further testing, hearing devices, therapy, or other support.
Swallow Assessment & Therapy
Individualized evaluation support for swallowing difficulties, also known as dysphagia. This service helps patients who experience coughing while eating or drinking, feeling of food stuck in the throat, coughing during/after swallowing, frequent throat clearing, or chronic chest infections.
How Are Hearing Aids Selected, Fitted and Adjusted?
Hearing aids are selected using the results of a hearing assessment, together with the patient’s communication needs, ear anatomy, comfort, lifestyle and budget. Once a suitable device is chosen, the audiologist fits and programmes it for the individual’s hearing profile. Follow-up adjustments help improve comfort and everyday listening.
At EAR360 Pune, patients can enquire about hearing aid evaluation, suitable models, fitting appointments and hearing aid trials. The devices and services available should be confirmed with the selected clinic.
From Audiogram to Hearing Aid Aftercare
1. Hearing Assessment
Review hearing thresholds, symptoms and communication difficulties
2. Hearing Aid Selection
Compare suitable styles, features, amplification options and budget
3. Trial or Demonstration
Evaluate selected devices where a trial or demonstration is available
4. Fitting and Programming
Fit the device and personalise amplification settings
5. Adjustment and Verification
Review comfort, sound quality and fitting performance
6. Follow-Up and Aftercare
Provide maintenance guidance, further adjustments and continued hearing support
How Does an Audiogram Help With Hearing Aid Selection?
An audiogram shows the softest sounds a person can hear at different frequencies in each ear. The audiologist uses this information to identify the degree and pattern of hearing loss and determine appropriate amplification requirements.
However, an audiogram alone is not enough to select the best hearing aid. The audiologist also considers speech understanding, listening environments, physical comfort and handling preferences.
Which Hearing Aid Styles May Be Considered?
Hearing aid style | Main characteristics | What affects suitability |
Behind-the-Ear (BTE) | A device positioned behind the ear, connected to a suitable earpiece or earmould | Hearing needs, handling ability and comfort |
Receiver-in-Canal (RIC) | A behind-the-ear device with a receiver positioned in the ear canal | Hearing loss, ear anatomy and available features |
In-the-Ear (ITE) | A custom device that fits within the outer ear | Ear shape, physical handling and amplification requirements |
Completely-in-Canal (CIC) | A smaller device positioned largely inside the ear canal | Ear anatomy, hearing needs and handling preferences |
Invisible-in-Canal (IIC) | A discreet custom hearing aid placed deeper inside the ear canal | Not suitable for every ear canal or degree of hearing loss |
Rechargeable hearing aids | Devices with built-in batteries that are charged regularly | Charging habits, device compatibility and individual preference |
Can You Try Hearing Aids Before Buying?
Selected hearing aids may be available for demonstration or trial under the provider’s current programme. A trial can help patients evaluate comfort, speech clarity and everyday device handling before making a purchase decision.
Confirm trial duration, eligible models, fitting support and any administrative conditions with the clinic before proceeding.
Why Are Professional Fitting and Adjustments Important?
Hearing aids should be programmed according to the individual’s hearing profile rather than simply making every sound louder. Where appropriate, fitting verification, including real-ear measurement, can help assess whether amplification matches prescribed targets.
Follow-up appointments allow the audiologist to review issues such as excessive loudness, unclear speech, whistling, physical discomfort or difficulties in noisy environments.
A hearing aid may need more than one adjustment as the person becomes familiar with amplified sounds.
What Happens After Hearing Aid Fitting?
The audiologist may provide guidance on insertion, removal, charging, cleaning, storage and everyday use. Ongoing care can include reprogramming, device checks, repair coordination and hearing reassessment when necessary.
Hearing aid benefit varies between individuals, and no device can guarantee normal hearing in every environment.
Concerns and Conditions We Support
Hearing and communication concerns can affect people of all ages, from newborns and children to working professionals and seniors. At EAR360, our audiologists and hearing care specialists evaluate, diagnose and manage a wide range of hearing, speech and balance-related conditions using advanced diagnostic technology and evidence-based treatment approaches.
Hearing Loss
Difficulty hearing conversations, frequently asking others to repeat themselves, increasing TV volume, or struggling in noisy environments can all be signs of hearing loss. We assess and manage age-related, noise-induced, sudden, and conductive hearing loss through comprehensive testing and personalized treatment plans.
Tinnitus (Ringing in the Ears)
Tinnitus is often experienced as ringing, buzzing, humming, or whistling sounds in the ears without an external source. Our team evaluates the underlying causes and recommends appropriate management strategies to reduce its impact on daily life.
Pediatric Hearing & Speech Concerns
Hearing plays a critical role in a child's speech and language development. We assess hearing difficulties, speech delays, auditory processing concerns, and communication challenges to help children achieve better developmental outcomes.
Age-Related Hearing Loss
Gradual hearing loss is common as we age and can affect communication, confidence, and overall quality of life. Our specialists provide hearing evaluations and hearing aid solutions designed specifically for older adults.
Noise-Induced Hearing Loss
Prolonged exposure to loud workplaces, traffic, music, or recreational noise can damage hearing over time. Early diagnosis helps prevent further deterioration and supports better long-term hearing health.
Auditory Processing Difficulties
Some individuals hear sounds normally but struggle to understand speech, especially in noisy environments. We conduct specialized assessments to identify auditory processing challenges and recommend suitable interventions.
Balance & Vestibular Disorders
Inner ear problems can affect balance and lead to dizziness, unsteadiness, or vertigo-like symptoms. Our specialists evaluate vestibular function and guide patients toward appropriate treatment pathways when balance disorders are suspected.
Sleep-Related Breathing Disorders
Conditions such as snoring and sleep apnea can impact sleep quality, concentration, and overall health. Our sleep assessment services help identify underlying issues and support appropriate management.
Which Hearing Test or Specialist May Be Recommended for Your Symptoms?
The hearing test or specialist recommended for you depends on your symptoms, medical history, age and the type of hearing or communication difficulty. An audiologist can assess hearing sensitivity and communication-related concerns, while an ENT specialist evaluates medical conditions affecting the ears. Other specialists may be needed for speech, language, swallowing, balance or sleep-related problems.
Symptoms help determine the assessment pathway, but they do not establish a diagnosis on their own.
Symptoms, Specialists and Recommended Assessments
Symptoms or concern | Professional to consult | Possible assessment | Next step |
Gradual hearing loss | Audiologist | Pure Tone Audiometry and Speech Audiometry | Review hearing results and suitable hearing-care options |
Difficulty understanding conversations in noise | Audiologist | Hearing thresholds and speech understanding assessment | Communication guidance, further testing or hearing aid evaluation |
Ringing or buzzing in the ears | Audiologist or ENT specialist, depending on symptoms | Hearing evaluation and relevant medical examination | Tinnitus counseling, management or further investigation |
Sudden hearing loss in one or both ears | Urgent ENT or emergency medical service | Medical examination and prompt audiometry | Time-sensitive medical evaluation and treatment when indicated |
Blocked ears or recurrent ear infections | ENT specialist or appropriate medical professional | Ear examination, tympanometry and hearing testing where indicated | Medical management or further audiological assessment |
Newborn who does not pass hearing screening | Pediatric audiologist or appropriately equipped diagnostic service | Age-appropriate OAE, diagnostic BERA/ABR or other indicated testing | Prompt diagnostic follow-up according to the newborn screening pathway |
Child with delayed speech development | Audiologist and speech-language professional | Hearing evaluation and speech-language assessment | Coordinated intervention or developmental referral if needed |
Hearing difficulties in older adults | Audiologist | Pure Tone Audiometry and additional tests as indicated | Monitoring, communication strategies or hearing aid evaluation |
Dizziness, vertigo or imbalance | ENT or another appropriate medical specialist | Clinical examination and selected vestibular assessments | Further investigation or relevant rehabilitation |
Difficulty swallowing food or liquids | Appropriate medical specialist and swallowing professional | Clinical swallowing assessment and further investigations if indicated | Individualised swallowing management |
Persistent voice changes | ENT specialist and speech-language professional where indicated | Medical voice examination and voice assessment | Treatment or voice rehabilitation |
Loud snoring and daytime sleepiness | Sleep medicine or appropriate medical specialist | Sleep assessment or sleep study | Medical management according to the findings |
When Should You Consult an Audiologist?
An audiologist is an appropriate first point of contact for gradual hearing difficulties, difficulty understanding speech, hearing-aid questions and routine hearing assessments.
The audiologist may recommend Pure Tone Audiometry, Speech Audiometry, Tympanometry, OAE or another test according to the patient’s needs.
When Should You See an ENT Specialist Instead?
Medical symptoms such as sudden hearing loss, severe ear pain, persistent discharge, bleeding or acute neurological symptoms require prompt medical attention.
Sudden hearing loss should not be managed by booking only a routine hearing test. Seek urgent ENT or emergency medical assessment.
When Are Multiple Specialists Needed?
Some concerns require coordinated care. For example, a child with suspected hearing loss and speech delay may benefit from an audiologist and speech-language professional. An adult with hearing loss and persistent ear symptoms may need both audiological assessment and ENT evaluation.
The care pathway should be based on the individual’s findings rather than a fixed package of tests.
When Should a Child Have Both Hearing and Speech-Language Assessments?
A child may need both a hearing assessment and a speech-language assessment when there are concerns about delayed speech, limited vocabulary, difficulty following instructions or inconsistent responses to sounds. Hearing problems can contribute to communication difficulties, but speech and language concerns may also occur when hearing is within the expected range.
Assessing both hearing and communication helps identify whether the child needs audiological support, speech-language intervention, developmental evaluation or a combination of services.
Signs That May Warrant Both Assessments
- Delayed development of spoken words or phrases
- Difficulty understanding age-appropriate instructions
- Inconsistent responses when called by name
- Frequently turning one ear towards a speaker
- Unclear speech that affects everyday communication
- A history of recurrent ear infections or middle-ear fluid
- A previous newborn hearing-screening concern
- Limited participation in conversations or classroom activities
- Concerns raised by parents, teachers or pediatricians
- Loss of communication skills that the child previously demonstrated
How Hearing and Speech-Language Assessments Work Together
Assessment | What it evaluates | Why it may be recommended |
Pediatric hearing assessment | Hearing sensitivity and auditory function using age-appropriate methods | Helps identify hearing problems that may affect access to speech sounds |
OAE testing | Outer hair-cell responses in the inner ear | Provides objective information in selected children |
BERA / ABR | Electrical responses of the auditory nerve and brainstem | Useful when objective hearing evaluation is required |
Tympanometry | Middle-ear function | May help assess hearing concerns associated with middle-ear conditions |
Speech-language assessment | Speech production, language understanding, expression and communication | Identifies speech and language support needs |
ENT evaluation | Medical conditions affecting the ear | May be appropriate for recurrent ear infections or suspected structural concerns |
Developmental assessment | Broader developmental or behavioural concerns | Helps determine whether coordinated developmental support is required |
Should Parents Wait for a Hearing Test Before Seeking Speech Therapy?
Parents should discuss both assessments with qualified professionals when hearing and speech concerns are present. In many situations, hearing evaluation and speech-language assessment can proceed alongside each other, rather than delaying support unnecessarily.
A normal OAE screening result alone does not rule out every hearing disorder. The audiologist may recommend additional testing when symptoms or developmental concerns continue.
What Happens After Both Assessments?
The professionals review the findings and recommend suitable next steps. These may include hearing monitoring, additional audiological testing, ENT consultation, hearing technology evaluation or speech-language therapy.
If a child has lost previously acquired speech or developmental skills, seek prompt pediatric or developmental evaluation.
At EAR360 Pune, families can enquire about pediatric hearing assessments and speech-language services. Confirm which professionals and diagnostic tests are available at the selected clinic.
What Is Included in an Audiologist Consultation in Pune?
An audiologist consultation in Pune generally includes a discussion of hearing concerns, a review of relevant medical and hearing history, selection of suitable hearing tests and explanation of the findings. The exact assessment and services included depend on the patient’s age, symptoms and the clinic’s consultation package.
At EAR360 Pune, patients can enquire about routine audiometry, pediatric hearing assessments, hearing aid consultations and other relevant services. The specific tests and appointment arrangements should be confirmed before booking.
Audiologist Consultation: What to Expect
Consultation component | What it may involve | What to confirm before booking |
Case history | Discussion of symptoms, onset, noise exposure, previous tests and relevant medical conditions | Whether case-history review is included in the appointment |
Ear examination | Visual assessment of the ear canal and eardrum when appropriate | Whether additional ENT evaluation may be needed |
Hearing assessment | Pure Tone Audiometry, Speech Audiometry or other clinically selected tests | Which tests are included in the consultation fee |
Middle-ear assessment | Tympanometry when indicated | Whether it is available and included |
Specialised testing | OAE, BERA/ABR, ASSR or other indicated assessments | Whether the particular clinic offers the required test |
Audiogram or written report | Documentation of hearing-test findings | Whether a report is included and how it is delivered |
Result interpretation | Explanation of hearing levels, patterns and relevant clinical findings | Whether discussion with the audiologist is included |
Hearing aid consultation | Discussion of suitable amplification options when appropriate | Whether this is a separate appointment |
Referral guidance | Advice about ENT assessment or other specialist services | Whether follow-up or referral coordination is available |
Aftercare recommendations | Monitoring, device support or reassessment guidance where needed | Whether follow-up appointments involve additional charges |
Does Every Consultation Include Every Hearing Test?
No. A routine adult hearing test may differ from a newborn hearing assessment or a specialist auditory-pathway evaluation.
The audiologist recommends suitable tests based on the clinical findings. More testing does not automatically mean a better assessment.
What Should You Bring to Your Appointment?
Bring previous audiograms or hearing reports, relevant prescriptions, existing hearing aids and a short description of situations where you find hearing difficult. Parents should bring newborn screening reports or earlier developmental assessments where available.
How Much Does an Audiologist Consultation Cost in Pune?
Audiologist consultation fees and hearing-test prices can vary by clinic and the assessments required.
Before booking, ask whether the quotation includes the consultation, hearing tests, written report, interpretation and any required follow-up.
How Long Does an Audiologist Appointment Take?
Appointment duration depends on the tests selected, patient cooperation and the need for additional assessment. Routine audiometry may take less time than detailed pediatric or objective diagnostic testing.
Ask for the expected appointment duration so that enough time can be reserved for both testing and explanation of the results.
Patient Journey
Comprehensive Assessment
Advanced diagnostics are used to evaluate hearing, speech and other relevant health parameters, using validated equipment to understand the exact nature of the concern.

Unclear hearing-test findings | Repeat testing or another diagnostic procedure | Clarify the findings before making treatment decisions |
Existing hearing aid problems | Fitting, programming or maintenance review | Adjustments, troubleshooting or repair coordination |
Will You Need Another Appointment?
Not everyone needs immediate follow-up. Some patients may only require monitoring, while others need further evaluation or treatment.
Your audiologist should explain the recommended follow-up interval and whether another specialist or additional hearing test is required.
Questions to Ask Before Leaving the Clinic
- What did my audiogram or hearing test show?
- Is hearing loss present in one ear or both ears?
- Which sound frequencies are affected?
- Do I need another hearing test?
- Should I consult an ENT specialist?
- Could hearing aids or other hearing support help me?
- Do I need a repeat appointment or regular monitoring?
- Can I receive a written copy of my results?
When Should You Seek Medical Care Urgently?
Sudden hearing loss, particularly in one ear, requires urgent medical assessment. Severe ear pain, bleeding, neurological symptoms or sudden changes in hearing accompanied by concerning symptoms also require prompt medical evaluation.
Do not postpone urgent medical care while waiting for a routine audiologist appointment.
The purpose of the first consultation is to provide clarity about your hearing needs and a suitable plan for further care.
