Hearing Test & Audiometry in Vijayawada

A hearing test is the first and most important step in understanding why sound feels muffled, why speech is hard to follow in a crowd, or why the TV volume keeps going up. At MOM's Speech & Hearing Clinic, every evaluation is carried out on calibrated diagnostic equipment by Dr. Venkateswar Reddy Thanniru, a government-registered audiologist (Reg. No. A66329).

The full evaluation takes about 30–45 minutes, is completely painless, and ends with a clear explanation of your audiogram — the type of hearing loss, the degree, the ear affected, and exactly what your options are. You leave with a printed report you can carry to any ENT surgeon or insurance provider.

Who is this for?

  • Adults who ask people to repeat themselves or struggle in noisy places
  • Elderly parents whose TV volume keeps rising
  • Children with delayed speech or poor classroom attention
  • Anyone with ear discharge, ear pain, blocked ear or sudden hearing loss
  • People working in factories, mills or high-noise environments
  • Pre-employment, driving licence and medical fitness certification
