Have you noticed a change in your hearing?
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 significantly improve the quality of life by enhancing the ability to communicate effectively, reducing the strain of excessive listening effort, and helping to detect important environmental sounds.
Enhance Communication
Through the enhancement and precision of auditory signals, hearing aids assist individuals with diminished hearing in attaining a clearer understanding of verbal communications and dialogues, including in tougher acoustic situations. This can result in bettered exchanges with family, friends, and colleagues, encouraging the development of deeper connections and lowering the hindrances to effective communication.
Improve Your Quality of Life
Hearing aids can provide a significant boost to life’s quality. By reestablishing the ability to perceive an array of sounds, from the symphonies of music, the calm of nature, to the routine signals of our environment, they augment our sensory perception. Such improvement can inspire a heightened involvement in recreational pursuits, social interactions, and a more profound, intimate bond with the world in general.
Enhance 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.

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 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.
Are hearing aids available on Medicare in Australia?
Despite hearing aids not being part of the Medicare coverage, a select group of individuals may receive these devices through the Hearing Services Program (HSP) facilitated by the Australian Government.
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?
Yes! Some of our patients have an NDIS plan which we can work with. Learn more about NDIS hearing aids or contact us.
