Our Services
Hearing Tests
Is your world sounding muffled? Do you suspect hearing loss? Our experienced team is ready to assist. We offer ear testing for all ages, from newborns to teenagers to adults, young and old, and finally to our esteemed seniors. Receive guidance and support through the process with care and compassion.
Balance Assessments and Rehabilitation
Experiencing dizziness or balance problems? Videonystagmography (VNG) assesses the health of your vestibular system (the balance portion of your inner ear) and central motor function. VNG tests can identify the underlying causes of vertigo, dizziness, or balance issues, enabling your healthcare provider to provide targeted and effective treatment.
Tinnitus Assessment and Management
If you are dealing with persistent ringing, buzzing, or other noises in your ears, you might be experiencing tinnitus. Each individual's tinnitus encounter is distinct. Whether tinnitus occurs sporadically or significantly affects your daily life, we provide personalised strategies to help you deal with and minimise its effects.
Hearing Aids and Treatment Plans
Don't let hearing loss hold you back. We're committed to enhancing your hearing health while respecting your lifestyle, budget, and unique audiological needs. Say goodbye to outdated stereotypes, concerns and feeling self-conscious about wearing hearing aids. We'll debunk misconceptions and assist you in selecting the ideal in-ear wear, be it discreet, stylish, or equipped with cutting-edge features.
Implantable Hearing Devices
Don't let concerns about hearing procedures prevent you from experiencing clearer sound. We will guide you through every auditory treatment option, ensuring you understand the benefits and considerations of each approach.
Auditory Processing Disorder
Are you concerned your child might have Auditory Processing Disorder (APD)? APD is a condition that affects how children's brains process sound. Accurate diagnosis by an audiologist is crucial to determine the underlying cause.
To help you assess if your child potentially has APD, we offer a short questionnaire on our webpage. Click "Learn More" to access the questionnaire and discover additional information about APD.
