What to Expect From Your Appointment
The assessment
At your first visit, generally we will perform a hearing assessment to determine your hearing level.
After the assessment, we will discuss the results and whether a visit to your GP is recommended. We can advise you on whether hearing technology may help to improve your situation. We will also inform you of any funding you may be entitled to such as the Commonwealth Hearing Services Program.
Duration 30-40 min
The fitting
Should the assessment indicate that hearing devices or assistive technology could be of benefit to you, and you wish to proceed with a trial, we will fit the devices and make all the necessary adjustments. We will also make sure you clearly understand the instructions.
We offer a 30 day trial of our proposed solution with no hidden fees.
Duration 30 min
The follow-up
At your third visit, generally one to two weeks after the fitting, we will check your progress and opinion and if the results are consistent with our expectations. Often some adjustment and a further follow-up is needed.
Duration 20 min
Further appointments may be needed depending on your needs and questions!
