Has Your World — and Your Hearing — Transformed?
We often take our hearing for granted, only realising its true value when it declines. Hearing loss presents challenges that affect various aspects of life, including communication, social interactions, work, hobbies, and overall well-being. Understanding speech, especially in noisy environments like dining out with loved ones, may become increasingly difficult, causing strained conversations, misunderstandings, and frustration.
Untreated hearing loss can lead to social isolation, impact your work or education, and negatively affect your emotional well-being. However, you don’t have to suffer in silence anymore.
Unlock a World of Clarity with Hearing Aids
By addressing challenges such as these through hearing aids, the ability to significantly improve one’s ability to communicate, reconnect with their social circles, and regain independence and well-being is greatly increased. Hearing aids help to amplify sounds, enhance speech clarity, and restore access to the world of sound, assisting people to overcome these problems and experience a fuller, more fulfilling life.
Improve Communication
By amplifying and clarifying sounds, hearing aids help people with hearing loss better understand speech and conversations, even in challenging listening environments. This may lead to improved interactions with family, friends, and colleagues, fostering stronger relationships and reducing communication barriers.
Enhance Quality of Life
Hearing aids may help to significantly enhance a person’s overall quality of life. By restoring access to a wide range of sounds, including music, nature, and everyday environmental cues, hearing aids enrich the sensory experience. This may lead to increased participation in social activities, hobbies and a greater engagement with the world.
Increase Safety and Awareness
Hearing aids help people with hearing loss become aware of their surroundings that they wouldn’t notice otherwise. They do this by amplifying important sounds such as alarms, sirens, and approaching vehicles, heightening auditory awareness. This helps to create a stronger sense of personal safety and gives a sense of security for that person and their loved ones.

Your Hearing Aids Questions Answered
Finding the right hearing aids for you is a personal journey. Several factors will come into play, such as the aesthetics and comfort of the hearing aids, sound quality, user-friendliness, and their effectiveness in enhancing hearing in noisy environments. It’s also important to consider your budget and eligibility, including any potential benefits from the Australian Government Hearing Services Program (subject to certain conditions).
Hearing aids may benefit people of all ages who experience hearing loss. Whether a person’s hearing loss is mild or severe, hearing aids aim to improve communication, enhance their quality of life, and increase their engagement with the world.
While hearing aids are not covered by Medicare, the Australian Government Hearing Services Program (HSP) may provide them for certain people.
Qualified pensioners and DVA clients have the opportunity to access free or subsidised hearing services, which include hearing aids. These services are made possible through the Commonwealth Hearing Services Program (HSP). Accredited providers under the HSP undergo a rigorous process to attain and maintain their government accreditation, ensuring high-quality care for eligible individuals.
Additionally, you may be eligible for a Hearing Services voucher if you are an Australian citizen or permanent resident who is over 26 years old and holds a Pensioner Concession Card, a Gold Repatriation Health Card, or receive Sickness Allowance from Centrelink.
We stock hearing aids from leading brands, including Oticon, Phonak, Unitron, Starkey, Widex, Signia, Resound and Bernafon.
Determining whether you need hearing aids is best assessed through a comprehensive hearing evaluation conducted by a qualified audiologist such as our team at MAC. We will assess your hearing abilities, discuss your hearing concerns, and consider your lifestyle and communication needs. Based on the evaluation results, your audiologist will recommend whether hearing aids may be helpful in improving your hearing and quality of life.
Yes, we can! We offer hearing tests at all of our clinics in Melbourne.
While the most comfortable hearing aid will differ from person to person, RIC (Receiver-in-Canal) and BTE (Behind-the-Ear) hearing aids are widely recognised for their exceptional comfort as they minimise the feeling of blockage. Their small sound transmitters, which rest solely in the ear, contribute to this comfortable and natural sensation.
The need for one or two hearing aids depends on several factors, including the degree and configuration of your hearing loss. In most cases, if you have hearing loss in both ears, wearing two hearing aids is recommended for optimal hearing benefits. Two hearing aids aim to provide improved sound localisation, better speech understanding in noisy environments, and a more balanced listening experience. However, the final decision should be made in consultation with an audiologist, such as our team at MAC. We can assess your specific hearing needs and guide you on the most suitable option for your situation.
Yes! Some of our patients have an NDIS plan which we can work with. Learn more about NDIS hearing aids or contact us.
