How we can help!

When people suspect a hearing disorder, they typically go to one of three types of professionals:

General practitioner

Medical specialist, such as an Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) doctor

Hearing care professional, who may also be called an audiologist (audiology means the science of hearing) or hearing aid dispenser

The normal referral process
Many people consult with their personal physician or general practitioner if they suspect a hearing problem. If a medical condition is indicated, often a referral is made to a doctor specializing in disorders of hearing and balance (an ENT specialist).

Once it's determined that the problem doesn't require medical or surgical treatment, people are typically referred to a hearing care professional for a complete hearing test.

It is not essential to make your Doctor your first port of call.

As hearing aid audiologists registered under the Hearing Aid Council Act of 1969 we are trained and obliged to follow a strict code of conduct which well equips us to be inn the front line of referral for hearing difficulty. Statistically most hearing loss is age related and requires no medical intervention. Where medical attention is indicated our clients are well protected by our strict adherance to the referrable conditions laid down by the HAC. We have established reciprocal referral relationships with Audiologists ,General Practitioners and ENT Consultants.
