A full diagnostic hearing assessment typically takes 60 to 75 minutes. This includes a conversation about your hearing history and lifestyle, the assessment itself, and dedicated time to explain your results clearly — in plain language, not medical jargon. You will leave with a written report you can share with your family doctor or use for funding applications.
Yes — and this is one of the most important things we can share. Hearing loss develops gradually, often over many years, and the brain is very good at adapting. Most people do not notice the change until it has become significant. Getting a baseline hearing assessment — especially from age 50 onwards — means that if your hearing does change, we have something to compare against and can act early.
Common signs include frequently asking people to repeat themselves, struggling to follow conversations in noisy environments like restaurants, turning the television up louder than others prefer, or feeling exhausted after conversations because of the concentration required. The only definitive way to know is a professional hearing assessment. If you are unsure, book a free 15-minute telephone consultation with us first — we will point you in the right direction.
A hearing screening is a quick pass/fail check — useful for identifying whether further testing is needed, but it does not tell you much beyond that. A full diagnostic hearing assessment is comprehensive. It tests multiple aspects of your hearing, identifies the type and degree of any hearing loss, and produces a detailed clinical report. This report can be shared with your doctor, used for funding applications, or kept as a baseline for future comparisons.
Many extended health plans include partial or full coverage for hearing aids — coverage amounts typically range from $500 to $2,000 per ear, with varying timelines for renewal. Coverage for the hearing assessment itself may also be included. Check your plan booklet or call your insurer and ask specifically about "audiology" or "hearing devices" under your paramedical or specialist benefits. We provide all necessary clinical reports and documentation to support your claim.
No. Earwax removal at Hear For All is gentle and causes minimal to no discomfort for most people. We use curette or microsuction techniques with otoscope visualisation for precision. The procedure is typically quick, and many clients are pleasantly surprised by how much better they can hear immediately afterwards. If you have been putting it off, there is really no need to worry.
We work with leading hearing aid manufacturers to offer devices across five technology tiers — from premium to budget-friendly options. Importantly, we are not tied to any single brand or manufacturer, which means our recommendations are based on what genuinely suits your hearing profile, lifestyle, and budget — not on sales targets. We discuss all options openly during your consultation.
Adults over 50 are encouraged to have their hearing assessed every one to two years, even without noticeable changes. If you already wear hearing aids, annual testing ensures your devices remain accurately calibrated to your current hearing levels. If you work in a noisy environment — construction, manufacturing, music, or any industry with regular loud noise exposure — annual monitoring is strongly recommended. Early detection makes a significant difference to long-term outcomes.
