As Hearing Aid Specialists,

The right device
As independent audiologists, we have no vested interest in selling you a particular brand – however we only fit the approved brands that are internationally recognised and researched.
Instead, we advise you on which hearing aid best suits your hearing needs and lifestyle.
At the right time
If you’re not yet ready to wear a hearing aid, it’ll just end up in a drawer.
We don’t pressure you. But when you are ready, we give you all the advice you need to make the right choice.
Fitted and tuned in the right way
Our clinicians complete monthly training to stay abreast of the latest technology releases across all brands.
A good hearing outcome comes from picking the right device and having it adjusted by an experienced clinician. The sound quality, comfort and look of a devices are what we spend time getting right for you.
Modern hearing aids in Melbourne
Forget the clunky devices your parents wore. Today’s hearing aids are smart and subtle devices.
They do far more than just amplify sound. They’re mini-computers that use artificial intelligence to boost some sounds (like speech) and reduce others (like background noise).
Some are controlled by your smartphone or connect to accessories that stream sound directly to your ears. Your hearing may now be better than anyone else’s in the room!
With a properly fitted hearing aid that meets your needs, you can:
- Improve relationships, avoiding the communication frustrations caused by hearing loss
- Keep up with the conversation easily
- Participate fully in work meetings
- Handle noisy environments with ease
- Enjoy boisterous family meals or dinner in a bustling restaurant.
Untreated hearing loss is a strong risk factor for dementia. Hearing aids may promote healthy ageing by stimulating your brain with sounds and keeping you connected to other people.
Hearing aids are not all the same.
If you’re buying a car to use in the city, you might look for a small runaround that’s easy to park in tight spaces. If you live in the country, you’re more likely to want a robust 4WD that can handle unsealed roads easily.
It’s similar with hearing aids. We can help you find the best option for you, taking into account your prescription, your budget and your lifestyle.
Your brain is the world’s best supercomputer. It’s found many ways to compensate for your hearing loss. Now, as you start wearing your hearing aids, it re-tunes in just a few days.
Once you’ve had your hearing aid fitted, you may initially hear many, many sounds that you’ve not noticed for a while. Maybe it’s birds singing, the fridge humming or the clock ticking. It may be a bit overwhelming at first. But in quite a short time, your brain realises that these are background noises and pays less attention to them, saving its focus for important sounds like speech.
Some clinics may lose interest in you once you’ve purchased a hearing aid.
We’re not like that. At Active Audiology, fitting your new hearing device is only the beginning of our service.
Improving your hearing health, especially in the early weeks of wearing a new device can be overwhelming and even frustrating at times. Rest assured that we are here to support you through this new change. As everyone’s hearing is different, it may require a few adjustments to feel comfortable with your hearing device.
We’re always available to fine-tune your wearing experience and support you through this exciting improvement to your life. We always encourage you to come back after a few weeks of wearing your hearing aids so we can check how they’re suiting you and make any necessary adjustments.
