Your Local Hearing Specialists at Melbourne CBD

Conveniently located at 414 La Trobe Street, near Flagstaff Gardens and Queen Victoria Market, Ear & Hearing Australia has been a trusted choice for Melbourne CBD residents since 1998.

Unlike manufacturer-owned hearing aid clinics, optical chains, and online-based hearing providers servicing Melbourne CBD, Ear & Hearing Australia is a 100% independent, medical-style audiology practice. We are not owned by a hearing aid manufacturer, and our focus is on quality care and achieving the best possible outcome for each patient rather than volume, sales targets, or numbers. Our accredited audiologists provide best-practice diagnostic hearing assessments, as well as unbiased advice on hearing aids and tinnitus management tailored to your individual needs.

We proudly serve the wider Boroondara community, including Melbourne CBD, North Melbourne, Carlton, Docklands, West Melbourne, Southbank, East Melbourne, and Parkville. Unlike retail chains and volume-driven providers, we focus on thorough assessment, ethical care, and independent professional advice designed to support your hearing, communication, and long-term outcomes.

Jo

Everybody is so welcoming and make you feel comfortable straight away. It’s amazing, I love my hearing aids. I was quite reluctant at first because I had had a previous bad experience but this time they had changed my life completely. I’m more outgoing, I’m far more comfortable in social situations. I can now hear my grandchildren when they speak softly. I can hear every word they say.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there parking near your Melbourne CBD audiology clinic?

Yes. Several public car parks are nearby, including Flagstaff Car Park on Little Lonsdale Street (open 24 hours) and Wilson Parking on Queen Street, plus 2-hour metered parking on Wills Street and La Trobe Street.

What public transport options are available near your Melbourne CBD clinic?

Our Melbourne CBD audiology clinic is beside Flagstaff Station and well served by trams. Tram 58 stops at Flagstaff Railway Station/William St, and City Circle trams 30 and 35 run along La Trobe Street within the Free Tram Zone.

Is microsuction ear cleaning suitable for seniors and children?
Yes. Our microsuction ear cleaning service in Melbourne CBD is a safe and gentle option for seniors and children aged 4+. Because we use low-pressure suction under direct vision with a microscope, rather than water syringing, it is often the preferred option for people with sensitive ears or narrow ear canals.
Do I need a referral to see an audiologist in Melbourne CBD?
No referral is needed for most appointments at Ear & Hearing Australia in Melbourne CBD. However, if you are attending under the Hearing Services Program (HSP), are a DVA cardholder, or need a Medicare-eligible diagnostic assessment, you will usually need a GP referral.
How long is an audiology appointment in Melbourne CBD?
Most initial audiology appointments in Melbourne CBD take about 60 minutes. If you also need a hearing aid consultation, please allow up to 90 minutes. We schedule enough time to complete a full diagnostic hearing test and discuss your hearing, results, and treatment options properly.
How much does microsuction ear wax removal cost in Melbourne CBD?
Our microsuction ear wax removal fee in Melbourne CBD is usually $160 to $220, depending on the complexity of the wax removal and the time required. This includes a video otoscope ear examination and safe wax removal using medical-grade suction under surgical microscopy by a qualified audiologist. We do not use water syringing.
Do you offer NDIS hearing services in Melbourne CBD?
Yes. At our Melbourne CBD clinic, we provide hearing services for NDIS participants, including hearing assessments, hearing aid fittings, and ongoing audiology support where appropriate. We also assist WorkCover clients, pensioners, and DVA cardholders through our accredited hearing services.
What do I need to bring to my first hearing appointment at your Melbourne CBD clinic?
For your first appointment at our Melbourne CBD audiology clinic, please bring your Medicare or DVA card, any private health insurance details, your current hearing aids, and any previous hearing test results if available. A list of medications and relevant medical information can also be useful. You are welcome to bring a companion if you would like support during the appointment.
How much notice do I need to give if I need to cancel my Melbourne CBD audiology appointment?
We ask that you provide at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment at our Melbourne CBD clinic. This allows us to offer that time to another patient. To change your appointment, please contact Ear & Hearing Australia on (03) 9853 3828.
