Services

In Australia Pensioners and Veterans are entitled to a free hearing assessment. We are accredited by the Commonwealth Government to provide these assessments. No paperwork is required, the services are arranged when you attend for your test. The test is comprehensive and looks at your general ear health, your hearing levels, the social impacts on your daily schedule as well as general lifestyle factors. The results will be reported to your General Practitioner. We encourage Partners and Spouses to attend the consultation.

For those not on a Pension and are self-funded retirees we will always provide a comprehensive hearing assessment and report to your General Practitioner. We believe that knowledge of your hearing health is critical to enjoying life.

We also provide comprehensive assessments for Medical Requirements, Transport Drivers, Flying Medicals, Employment Testing and Workers Compensation.

If you have an uncomfortable earpiece, we can perform adjustments on them or arrange for a more comfortable fitting.

The clinicians at Hear4Good Southern Downs can also offer a loan hearing aid if we do have to send the hearing aid to the manufacturer for repair to allow you to continue hearing the things that you deserve to hear.

At Hear4Good Southern Downs our very experienced clinicians will perform a very accurate assessment of not only your hearing level, but your ability understand speech as well.

The hearing test includes a comprehensive history of all factors that could affect your hearing. We examine the physical structure of your ear canal and eardrum. A test of your middle ear function called Tympanometry will be performed. Air and bone conduction testing is then performed, that is followed by speech discrimination testing which will give an indication of how successful a hearing aid fitting may be.

We then look at your actual hearing needs, is it the television, is it the grandkids, the wife talking in the car, the raffle results at the RSL, perhaps the checkout girl at the supermarket or maybe the ladies at the Bowls club. We listen to you because you know what you want to hear better.

All the information is collated, and a recommendation made for a personalised hearing solution.
