Our clinical leadership is strengthened by Jean Hegarty’s extensive professional involvement at a national level. As former President of the Irish Academy of Audiology (IAA) for four consecutive years and an active member of the Irish Society of Hearing Aid Audiologists (ISHAA), we are deeply connected to best practice standards, regulatory developments, and emerging innovations within Irish audiology.

This level of professional engagement ensures that every assessment, recommendation, and treatment plan delivered at Cork Audiological Services aligns with the highest clinical and ethical standards in Ireland.

Comprehensive Hearing Tests in Cork

Accurate Diagnostic Hearing Assessments

We provide comprehensive hearing tests in Cork using advanced diagnostic equipment in a controlled clinical environment. Our assessments go far beyond basic screening, offering detailed analysis of hearing thresholds, speech perception, and auditory processing.

Each hearing test includes:

• A full case history review

• Otoscopic examination of the ear canal and eardrum

• Pure tone audiometry

• Speech audiometry

• Tympanometry where clinically indicated

Our diagnostic accuracy allows us to identify early-stage hearing loss, noise-induced hearing damage, age-related hearing decline, and complex auditory conditions with precision.

Specialist Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT)

Evidence-Based Support for Tinnitus Management

We offer Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT) for individuals experiencing persistent or intrusive tinnitus. This clinically recognised approach combines detailed counselling with sound therapy to reduce the emotional and neurological impact of tinnitus over time.

Our TRT service is carefully structured, personalised, and delivered by experienced clinicians who understand the complex interaction between hearing, the auditory system, and the brain. For many patients, TRT offers long-term improvement in quality of life, sleep, and concentration.
