Who this Portlaoise test is for
People across Laois who want a private adult test without waiting on a hospital list. It suits first-time checks, aid reviews, and anyone comparing options after a screening elsewhere.
Bring a family member if you like; the booth work still takes about 45 to 60 minutes either way.
What happens at HearMed Portlaoise
History and otoscopy come first in the Bridge Street rooms. Pure tone thresholds follow in a quiet booth, with speech-in-noise when it helps explain day-to-day listening.
You leave with an audiogram you can keep. Aids are only discussed when the results and your life point that way.
- Unit 4, Bridge Street Centre
- Open Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
- Closed Tuesdays
- About 45 to 60 minutes, free
Pricing approach
The hearing test itself costs nothing. If you later choose aids, we quote in writing after the test using PRSI Treatment Benefit where you qualify.
Hearing aids start from fully covered basic PRSI models. The PRSI you have already paid can cover the full cost of both ears if you qualify. More advanced models from €350 per aid after the PRSI grant (€850 per aid before the grant).
