Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to Your Most Common Hearing Questions
Am I losing my hearing?
Hearing loss often happens gradually. Common signs include struggling to hear conversations, especially in noise, or needing to turn the volume up. A hearing test is the best way to know for sure.
What is Central Auditory Processing (CAP)?
Central Auditory Processing refers to how the brain understands sounds, not how the ears hear them. People with auditory processing disorders may detect sounds clearly but struggle to process speech, especially in noisy environments.
Are two hearing aids better than one?
Everyone experiences hearing loss differently, and hearing aids are designed to support each person’s unique needs.
Factors such as age, the type and level of hearing loss, and personal listening goals all play a role in how hearing aids can help — but most people notice meaningful improvements with the right guidance and technology.
Hearing loss often affects both how loud sounds seem and how clearly speech is understood. Modern hearing aids are designed to address both of these challenges, making everyday sounds clearer and conversations easier to follow. People with conductive hearing loss often experience excellent results with hearing aids, as their ability to understand speech is usually well preserved. Many adjust quickly and feel more confident in daily listening situations. For those with sensorineural (nerve) hearing loss, hearing aids can significantly improve access to speech and environmental sounds. While clarity may still vary in complex listening environments, today’s advanced hearing aid technology is specifically designed to enhance speech and reduce background noise, making communication more comfortable and less tiring.
Many people say, “I can hear, but I don’t always understand.” Hearing aids help bridge this gap, especially when used in both ears, and with time and support. At Northside Audiology, our experienced audiologists work closely with you throughout your journey — providing personalised fittings, education, and ongoing support — to help you adapt confidently and get the best possible benefit from your hearing aids.

How long does it take to adjust to having a hearing aid?
Most people take a few weeks to a few months to fully adjust. Your brain needs time to relearn sounds, and follow-up adjustments help make the process easier.
What is single sided deafness?
Single-sided deafness is hearing loss in one ear while the other ear hears normally. It can affect sound direction and hearing in noise, but treatment options are available.
