Compensation rights are based on your level of hearing loss. Has a doctor/ audiologist calculated your NAL % hearing loss before?

NO – I don't know my NAL % hearing loss
UNSURE – I had a recent hearing test but don't know if they did the NAL % check
YES – I know my NAL % hearing loss

Note: most people don't know their NAL % hearing loss as 'standard' audiology checks won't calculate this. Don't worry if you don't know the NAL % -- we can arrange a NAL hearing check for no up-front cost.

Great, thanks. We'll need to review your NAL Hearing Check results. Our team will discuss this with you

I'll email through my hearing test results (we'll send you a link for this)
