FREE HEARING SCREEN

Hearing screening is a test to tell if people might have hearing loss. Anyone failing a hearing screening will be referred back to ther GP or to a ENT consultant. However at diagnostic audiology services we might recommend a more comprehensive audiologic (hearing) evaluation. The follow-up evaluation should be conducted as soon as possible after the failed hearing screening and no more than 3 months later.

After working as the chief diagnostic audiologist in the Eye & Ear Hospital Dublin, Judith M Nugent opened Diagnostic Audiology Services (Ireland) Ltd. in 1985 in the Charlemont Clinic Dublin 2. In March 2014, after 29 successful years in Charlemont clinic, Judy along with her daughter Charyl opened a clinic dedicated to the late Charles Nugent. This clinic is located in 16 Maypark, Malahide road, Artane Dublin 5. Due to The Charlemont Clinic being sold in November 2014, the south side premises moved to Suite 2 in the Mall, Beacon Court. Judy and Charyl are proud to be able to provide such a fantastic facility for the hearing impaired in the Artane and Sandyford branches.

We are committed to providing patient focused care available to every person. We aim for excellent service and exceptional outcomes.
