The assessment
Hearing assessment in Casablanca
Hearing does not fade overnight. The loss settles in so slowly that you get used to it. The assessment tells you where you stand, with figures we explain to you.
How it works
A few minutes talking about your daily life, then otoscopy — sometimes the difficulty is simply earwax. Next comes pure-tone audiometry: you signal the sounds you perceive, at different pitches and intensities.
Finally speech audiometry, with words, to measure what you understand and not only what you hear. It is painless throughout and takes around 45 minutes.
What you leave with
Your audiogram, the curve of your hearing, explained in plain language: what you hear well, what escapes you, and in which situations.
If a device can help, we say so and propose two or three suitable models. If it is not needed, we say that too.
When to have an assessment
As soon as a sign appears, at any age. After 60, a check every two years is a good habit even without any felt difficulty: the loss settles so gradually that you adapt without noticing.
And if a relative suggests it, that is usually the right moment — they notice first.
- You turn the television up louder than others
- In a café you follow the conversation, then lose the thread
- People tell you that you ask them to repeat. Often
- The phone has become hard work, especially with strangers
- A whistle or a buzz keeps you company in the quiet
- High voices, children's and women's, become blurred
Before you come, the online test
Six questions about your daily life, three minutes, and no data sent anywhere: the calculation happens in your browser. It is a guide, not a diagnosis — take the test, then come to the centre for the real measurement.
What people ask us most.
Is the assessment painful?
No, at no point. You sit in a quiet place, listen to sounds and words, and signal what you perceive.
How long should I allow?
Around 45 minutes, conversation included. It is better not to be in a hurry: the talking matters as much as the measuring.
From what age should I have one?
At any age, as soon as a sign appears. After 60, a check every two years is a good habit, as with eyesight.
