Audiology
If you’re experiencing audiology changes or sudden hearing loss, it’s sensible to visit Urgent Care. Our GPs can assess any hearing changes. They’ll refer you to an Audiologist health hearing centre if necessary.

Do you have hearing problems or concerns? Visit Howick's hearing clinic.
Diagnosing hearing takes expert knowledge and fortunately we have a specialist audiology clinic in our health centre on Botany Road.
Normally, you will need a GP referral to get a hearing check and its sensible to first rule out any other illnesses. Luckily, the team at Dilworth Hearing have been helping the Howick community with audiology services for many years.
Taking a child to a hearing health centre
Often, tamariki have difficulty telling us when their hearing is troubling them. Little ones can have a variety of hearing issues which do need attention. These include:
- Ear infections: small ear canals can easily get infected causing a lot of pain when fluid gets trapped. Pamol and sometimes antibiotics can help. Fever, crying, fussing or pulling at their ear are possible signs.
- Grommets can be put in place for children with Glue Ear or recurrent infections.
- Foreign bodies: children are prone to sticking small objects, food or plants down their ears. Our GPs can help with removal or ear suctioning may be required.
- Speech or language difficulties: this could be a sign that your child needs to have hearing check with audilogist services.
What is an Audiologist?
Also called an Audiometrist, the Audiologist you will see at the Howick Dilworth Hearing clinic will be highly qualified. This expert Audiology clinic treats people of all ages experiencing hearing loss and advises on preventative measures.
They can help:
- Adjust cochlear implants
- Fit and repair hearing aids
- Assess sound levels in a workplace or school
- Support child development related to hearing problems.
Should I go to Urgent Care for ear pain or hearing loss (or see an Audiologist?)
Sudden changes to hearing can be frightening, and ear aches extremely painful.
So if you have a problem with your hearing and can’t see your normal GP or hearing health centre, pop in. We’re open late and on weekends to set your mind at rest.
At East Care, our GPs can check reasons why you might be having hearing problems, including:
- an ear infection
- foreign body
- build-up of wax
- other illnesses that might affect your hearing
For any type of infection we can quickly prescribe medicine such as drops. Fortunately, you can pick this up at the onsite pharmacy.
Moreover, if we suspect you will need Audiology services, we can make a referral to our onsite hearing health centre, Dilworth Audiology.
