Hello, I’ve decided to finally get the answer, and go get tested, someone posted a comic of @cypopps a few days ago here and I read all their creations because it connected a lot with me. But I am a bit lost in how to find where to do a Diagnostic in the UK, I see the word “Assesment” and “Diagnostics” which seems to be two different things? The Places in my region do “Assesments” some mostly for kids, other for Young Adults which Is what I found I fould The Assessment Team near me, but it seems crazy to me. Does it actually cost 2500 Pound to get tested? It costs 40 Euro in France

I thought it would be faster in the UK to get tested from what I saw in the UK compared to France but I am confused on the Wording and the Price

    All they did was put Etymotics IEMs

    Interesting. I had never heard about these. Was that helpful at all, or mostly a loss of $400?

    I’ve looked up the procedure in France and it’s too long for me to be there and do it fully. And I won’t be in the UK long enough to be on a 1.5 to 3 year wait list.

    I think you could pay out of pocket, but that’s going to be a few thousand. It might be worth it if you can somehow get that amount of money saved up. Consider what you will get for that in return, and judge if it’s worth the expense. Since I’m in the USA, I had to pay out of pocket, and it was $900 after shopping around a lot. Given the impact it has had, I would gladly have paid more than double for the assessment.

    I’ve seen things here that have genuinely helped me and I am so thankful for that

    Yay!! That’s so nice to hear (actually, read). In case you haven’t already, take a look at our the helpful resources post linked in the sidebar.
