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.
Why Hearing Aids?
Hearing aids play an important role your quality of life through the advancement of effective communication abilities, the mitigation of extensive hearing effort, and provision of support in crucial environmental sound detection.
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
The use of hearing aids can have a substantial positive impact on an individual’s overall lifestyle. They have the ability to open up a plethora of sounds, such as the melodies of music, the whispers of nature, and the subtle signals in our daily environment, contributing to a richer sensory experience. As a result, they can create opportunities for more active involvement in recreational activities, social engagement and a heightened connection with the world around us.
Enhance Safety and Awareness
For those grappling with hearing challenges, hearing aids are a great asset. They magnify important sounds that may otherwise be missed—like alarms, sirens, and vehicles nearing—which noticeably improves auditory sensitivity. Through creating a robust sense of personal safety, these devices aid in providing the wearer and their dear ones with feelings of security and ease.

Hearing Aid FAQ's
How do I find hearing aids that are right for me?
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).
Who can hearing aids benefit?
Hearing assistance devices can be helpful to individuals from all life stages who are struggling with hearing difficulties. No matter the degree of hearing loss – from slight to significant – the purpose of these aids is to boost communication capabilities, elevate the quality of their day-to-day life, and promote greater participation in worldly interactions.
Are hearing aids available on Medicare in Australia?
While hearing aids are not covered by Medicare, the Australian Government Hearing Services Program (HSP) may provide them for certain people.
Who is eligible for subsidised hearing aids?
Thanks to the Commonwealth Hearing Services Program (HSP), eligible pensioners and clients of the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) have the chance to benefit from complimentary or reduced-cost hearing aids and services. Providers accredited under the HSP have demonstrated excellence and consistency through a stringent and ongoing accreditation process. This ensures clients receive top-notch care.
Plus, if you’re an Aussie citizen or permanent resident aged 26 and above with a Pensioner Concession Card, Gold Repatriation Health Card, or receive Centrelink’s Sickness Allowance, you may qualify for a Hearing Services voucher.
What brand of hearing aids do you stock?
Choose from our selection of hearing aids from premiere manufacturers such as Oticon, Phonak, Unitron, Starkey, Widex, Signia, Resound, and Bernafon.
Do I need hearing aids? Do I need one or two?
Finding out if you require hearing aids is ideally done through an in-depth hearing assessment by an experienced audiologist like our qualified team at MAC. We will examine your hearing capabilities, delve into your hearing issues, and take into account your lifestyle and communication requirements. Following the assessment, your audiologist will advise if hearing aids would be beneficial in enhancing your overall hearing and quality of life.
The necessity of a single or dual hearing aids is determined by several parameters, such as the extent and pattern of your hearing loss. Ordinarily, if your hearing loss affects both ears, it’s advisable to use two hearing aids for maximum hearing advantages. Dual hearing aids strive to offer enhanced sound pinpointing, superior understanding of speech in loud settings, and a more equilibrium auditory experience. However, the ultimate decision should be taken after consulting an audiologist, such as our team at MAC. We can examine your unique hearing needs and direct you towards the most appropriate choice for your circumstances.
Do you offer hearing aids for NDIS participants?
Indeed! We have the capacity to collaborate with patients who are on an NDIS plan. For more information regarding NDIS hearing aids, feel free to reach out to us.
