Get Hearing Guidance Without Starting With a Clinic Visit
An online audiologist consultation can help you discuss hearing concerns, understand an existing hearing report, get hearing-aid guidance, and decide whether your next step should be online follow-up, a home hearing visit, clinic testing, or ENT care.
It is designed for guidance, triage, report review and selected follow-up, not as a replacement for hearing tests or physical ear examination when these are required.

Who Should Book an Online Audiologist Consultation?
An online consultation can be useful when you need professional hearing guidance but are unsure whether an immediate clinic visit is necessary.
People Experiencing Early Signs of Hearing Difficulty
Book an online consultation if you have started finding conversations unclear, increasing the television volume or struggling to hear in groups and noisy environments.
People Who Want Their Hearing Reports Reviewed
If you already have an audiogram, hearing test report or medical document, an audiologist can review it online and explain the findings in simple language.
Existing Hearing Aid Users
People using hearing aids can discuss comfort, sound clarity, maintenance, daily usage and possible adjustment requirements with an audiologist.
Families Supporting a Person with Hearing Loss
Family members and caregivers can join the consultation to understand the person’s hearing needs, communication difficulties and recommended next steps.
People Seeking Guidance About Tinnitus
An online consultation can help you discuss ringing, buzzing or other sounds in the ears and understand whether further hearing or medical assessment is needed.
Please note: Advanced hearing tests and detailed audiology assessments may require an in-clinic appointment or home visit for accurate diagnosis.
Online Consultation May Also Help If
- You already have a hearing report but are unsure what it means
- You do not know which hearing test to book
- Your hearing aid is uncomfortable or not performing as expected
- You are arranging hearing care for a parent
- You need a second opinion on a previous recommendation
- Travelling is difficult and you want to know whether a home visit is sufficient
When Does an Online Consultation Work Well?
An online audiologist consultation is particularly helpful for guidance, report interpretation and follow-up discussions.
Hearing Test Report Review
The audiologist can review an existing hearing test report, explain the type and degree of hearing loss and answer questions about the findings.
Discussion of Early Hearing Symptoms
You can discuss difficulty following conversations, unclear speech, increased volume requirements or other early signs of hearing loss.
Hearing Aid Adjustment Discussion
Existing hearing aid users can explain issues such as low clarity, excessive loudness, discomfort, feedback or difficulty hearing in noisy places.
Some concerns may be addressed through guidance, while device programming or physical adjustments may require a clinic visit.
Family Counselling
The audiologist can help family members understand how hearing loss affects communication and suggest practical ways to support the person at home.
Second Opinion
An online consultation can help you better understand a previous hearing test, treatment recommendation or hearing aid suggestion before proceeding.
Follow-Up Support
Patients who have already completed a hearing assessment or hearing aid fitting can use an online consultation to discuss progress, concerns and follow-up requirements.

What Happens During the Online Consultation?
The consultation is structured around your hearing concerns, available reports, previous treatment and current support requirements.
Step 1: Review of Your Hearing Concern
The audiologist asks about the symptoms you are experiencing, when they began and the situations in which hearing is most difficult.
You may also be asked about previous hearing tests, ear-related symptoms, medical history, noise exposure and existing hearing aid use.
Step 2: Review of Reports and Documents
You can share existing hearing test reports, audiograms, hearing aid details or relevant medical documents before or during the consultation.
The audiologist explains the available findings and highlights whether additional assessment may be required.
Step 3: Hearing Aid Guidance
Existing hearing aid users can discuss sound clarity, comfort, usage, maintenance, connectivity and listening difficulties.
Physical fitting, repairs or device programming may still require an in-person appointment.
Step 4: Discussion of Possible Next Steps
Based on the information available, the audiologist may recommend:
- Monitoring the hearing concern
- Booking a complete hearing test
- Scheduling a home visit hearing test
- Visiting a Resonnocare clinic
- Consulting an ENT specialist
- Considering a hearing aid evaluation
- Seeking further assessment for tinnitus
- Booking a follow-up consultation
Step 5: Personalised Next-Step Plan
At the end of the consultation, the audiologist explains what you should do next and whether further testing, medical evaluation or hearing care support is required.
How It Works
Online Consultation Process
Step 1: Submit Your Details
Complete the online consultation form and provide your name, contact details, hearing concern and preferred consultation time.
Step 2: Share Your Concern and Reports
Describe the hearing problem and upload or share any available hearing test reports, audiograms or hearing aid details.
Step 3: Attend the Video Consultation
Speak with an experienced audiologist over video from your home. A family member or caregiver may also join when helpful.
Step 4: Receive Your Next-Step Plan
The audiologist explains the available findings and recommends whether you need monitoring, a hearing test, a clinic visit, a home visit or further medical evaluation.
When Is a Clinic Visit Better?
An online consultation is suitable for guidance and discussion, but some hearing and ear concerns require physical examination, specialised equipment or immediate medical attention.
Sudden Hearing Loss
A sudden or rapid reduction in hearing should not be managed only through an online consultation. Prompt in-person medical assessment may be required.
Ear Pain or Ear Discharge
Ear pain, fluid, blood or discharge from the ear may require physical examination by an appropriate medical professional.
Detailed Diagnostic Hearing Tests
Tests requiring specialised equipment, controlled sound conditions or physical examination must be completed at a clinic or suitable diagnostic facility.
Hearing Aid Fitting and Programming
Selecting, physically fitting and programming a hearing aid generally requires an in-person appointment to ensure comfort, accuracy and appropriate device performance.
Ear Examination
An online audiologist cannot physically examine the ear canal or eardrum. A clinic or ENT consultation may be recommended when an ear condition is suspected.
Severe Dizziness or Other Urgent Symptoms
Severe dizziness, sudden neurological symptoms, injury or other urgent health concerns require appropriate in-person medical care and should not rely on an online hearing consultation.
Important Note
Online audiologist consultations are intended for hearing guidance, report review, hearing aid discussions and follow-up support. They do not replace all hearing tests, physical examinations or emergency medical care.
