What to bring from Kartal
If you plan to come to our centre by Marmaray or the M4 metro line, or to have the test at home, preparing a few documents in advance speeds things up.
- Your ID card: needed if the hearing aid will be obtained through SGK (Turkey's Social Security Institution).
- Results of any previous hearing tests.
- A copy of any report or prescription from an ENT specialist.
- Your current hearing aid, if you use one, along with its charger or batteries.
Questions families in Kartal often ask
Do I have to get a hearing aid right after the test?
No. After explaining the result, we give you time to decide. If a hearing aid is recommended, we ask you to try it in your daily life first.
Do you come back to Kartal after I get the hearing aid?
Yes. In the first weeks, while your ear gets used to new sounds, we update the settings step by step over a few visits. We can also come to your home later for maintenance and batteries.
My mother or father is reluctant to have a test. What can we do?
Explaining that the test is painless and only involves listening to sounds often helps. At the visit, our specialist chats first and moves on to the test when your relative is ready. We take our time and go at their pace.
Which brands can we try?
You can try different types of models from Widex, Phonak and the other brands we work with. Which model suits you depends on the test result and your daily needs.
