Reliable hearing tests in Cape Town
FROM A PROFESSIONAL TEAM

Our NB Hearing branches are equipped to offer hearing tests in Cape Town with our branches located in Sea Point, Durbanville and the Southern Suburbs (with Main Branch in Wynberg, and sessionally, in Hout Bay and Fish Hoek). Each of our practices have professionally qualified and registered audiologists.
Dr. Natalie Buttress first opened NB Hearing in 1995, in a private hospital in Johannesburg. Subsequently, Dr. Buttress moved to the Cape, and established a professional audiology practice focused on providing comprehensive hearing tests in Cape Town, in Sea Point in 2001. In 2012, the practice expanded to include more audiologists in our branch in Durbanville. We have also been present in the Southern Suburbs since 2017. We are a passionate and close-knit team of audiologists, striving to change the stigma surrounding hearing loss and hearing disorders by providing patients with accurate diagnoses and effective hearing solutions to improve quality of life with ear-related problems.
Your hearing is important. It is what connects people with each other. It also connects our brains to information and the world around us. If you are diagnosed with hearing loss, our audiologists can enable you to reconnect with your loved ones and your world. We offer comprehensive professional services, including hearing tests, fitting of hearing aids, hearing rehabilitation, and counselling, to improve your hearing health as much as possible.

We want to hear from you!

Hearing connects us to other human beings. Our ability to communicate allows us to have easy relationships with others. Relationships are the essence of most people’s quality of life.

Ear Icon

Hearing is one of only 5 senses that deliver information about the outside world to the brain. Your thinking patterns and knowledge about the world around you is highly reliant on what you see and what you hear. Long term hearing loss can influence the way your brain understands your world.

Hearing loss can be slow and gradual and may encroach so slowly on your quality of life that you may not realise how much your hearing and life have changed from their normal state.

Detecting and diagnosing a hearing loss closer to its onset is important because sometimes we can prevent it from getting worse.

Treating a hearing loss earlier means that replaced sound is easier to get used to.

Ear Icon

Hearing loss that remains untreated may progress at a faster rate than hearing loss that has been properly diagnosed and rehabilitated, due to the lack of stimulation to certain parts of the nerve in the cochlear.

Hearing loss changes the way the brain understands speech, for example, long term hearing loss that is untreated affects your word recognition skills.

There is evidence that long term hearing loss that remains untreated has an impact on memory and thinking skills.
