What happens on the day
Every appointment is tailored to you — not everyone needs every test, and we'll always explain what we're doing and why.
Listen
We talk through your concerns, health history and the listening situations you find hardest.
Check
We examine your ear canals and eardrums for wax, blockages or anything needing medical attention.
Test
Tone and speech testing — showing not just what you hear, but how clearly you follow conversation.
Explain
We walk you through your results in plain language, and you take a copy home.
Plan
Practical next steps — a review, a referral, hearing protection, or hearing aid options if they'd help.
It's your appointment.
That's why we tailor it to you.
Hearing assessment FAQ
Before you book
Do I need a referral?
Not to book with us. To claim a Medicare rebate for eligible diagnostic services, you'll need a written referral from your GP or specialist before the appointment — see our rebates & funding page.
Should I get my hearing tested?
Worth booking if you often ask people to repeat themselves, struggle in background noise, turn the TV up, or notice ringing or blocked ears — or if you're over 60, have had noise exposure, or haven't been checked in years. If you’re unsure, contact us and we can help you choose an appointment.
What should I bring?
Your Medicare card, any concession or DVA card, private health details, any referral, and previous results or current hearing aids if you have them.
On the day
What does the testing involve?
A look inside your ears, pure tone audiometry to map your hearing, speech testing to see how clearly you understand words, and middle ear testing where indicated.
Does it hurt?
No. You wear headphones and respond to tones and words. The ear and middle ear checks are quick and comfortable.
Do I get my results the same day?
Yes — explained in plain language before you leave, with a copy to keep or pass to your GP. If anything needs medical review, we'll refer you to your GP or an ENT specialist.
Will you try to sell me hearing aids?
No. Not everyone who has an assessment needs them. If they'd help, we'll explain your options and costs clearly and give you time to decide. If they wouldn't, we'll tell you that too.
Can someone come with me?
Please do — a second set of ears is genuinely useful when talking through results and options.
Rebates & claims
Can I claim the assessment?
Possibly. Eligible Hearing Services Program and DVA clients may be covered, Medicare rebates may apply for eligible diagnostic services with a valid referral, and some private health Extras include audiology. Bring your cards and see our rebates & funding page. Conditions apply under the Australian Government Hearing Services Program.
I'm a pensioner — am I covered?
Many Pensioner Concession Card holders are eligible for the Australian Government Hearing Services Program, which includes subsidised assessments. Bring your Medicare and concession cards. Conditions apply under the Australian Government Hearing Services Program.
I'm a DVA card holder
DVA may support assessments for eligible Veteran Gold Card holders, and White Card holders where hearing loss or tinnitus is an accepted condition. Bring your card and we'll guide you.
