Comprehensive Hearing Assessment in Malvern

At Ear & Hearing Australia, we provide comprehensive diagnostic hearing assessments performed by accredited audiologists. After taking a thorough case history, we carry out a range of hearing tests designed to identify the type and degree of hearing loss and, where possible, help determine the likely cause. This helps ensure you receive the most appropriate advice, medical referrals, and treatment options.

These comprehensive hearing assessments are available at our independent Malvern audiology clinics, located at 35 Glenferrie Road, directly opposite the Malvern Central Shopping Centre.

Why a Full Diagnostic Hearing Assessment Matters?

While free online hearing checks and basic screening tests may offer a quick indication that a hearing problem could be present, they do not provide the depth of information needed to properly assess your hearing health. A comprehensive diagnostic hearing assessment is important because it helps identify the type and degree of hearing loss, may assist in determining the likely cause, and guides the most appropriate advice, referral, and treatment plan.

Some retail hearing aid providers focus on quick screening tests as part of a sales-driven process. At Ear & Hearing Australia, our approach is different. Before we recommend hearing aids or begin any management plan, we believe it is important to carry out a full diagnostic assessment so that recommendations are based on clinical findings, your medical history, your communication needs, and the best possible long-term outcomes.

I had a general hearing appointment with ear and hearing today and could not recommend them more. Staff were all lovely and will be back here for any ear and hearing needs.

I had ear microsuction by Roxana, the audiologist at the Melbourne branch. She was so professional and incredibly thorough and checked my ears like they’ve never been checked before. So impressed!

I finally persuaded my mum to see a specialist for her sudden hearing loss 3 months ago. We were very pleased to come across the Ear and Hearing on Glenferrie Road near home. Mark’s wonderful manner eased my mum’s nerve and we went through the tests smoothly. He was patient and knowledgeable. We walked out of there with a solution to a major problem that bothered us for 3 months. We are grateful. Thank you!

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do you charge for hearing tests when other clinics advertise free hearing tests?
At Ear & Hearing Australia, we provide full diagnostic hearing tests in Malvern, not brief promotional screening checks. Your appointment is carried out by a qualified audiologist, takes about 60 minutes, and is designed to assess your hearing properly, detect possible medical or hearing-related issues, and explain the results clearly. For people wanting a simple first step, we also offer a free online hearing test.
Why should I choose a comprehensive hearing test in Malvern?
Our hearing tests in Malvern are comprehensive diagnostic assessments performed by an independent, accredited audiologist. A full appointment usually takes around 60 minutes, allowing us to assess your hearing thoroughly, identify possible underlying ear or hearing concerns, and provide clear, personalised advice based on accurate results.
How is your hearing test different from a basic screening?
Our hearing test in Malvern is a full diagnostic assessment, not just a basic screening. It is conducted by an accredited audiologist and allows enough time to assess your hearing properly, investigate possible underlying issues, and provide detailed explanations and recommendations.
Can children have a hearing test at your Malvern clinic?
Yes. At Ear & Hearing Australia in Malvern, we provide hearing tests for children aged 7 months and older. Our clinic is experienced in assessing both children and adults. For infants younger than 7 months, a specialised paediatric hospital service is usually the most appropriate option.
Do I need a referral to book a hearing test in Malvern?
No referral is needed for a private hearing test in Malvern. If you are booking an eligible diagnostic hearing assessment and wish to claim a Medicare rebate, a GP referral is required.
How much does a hearing test cost at your Malvern clinic?
Our comprehensive diagnostic hearing test fee at the Malvern clinic starts from $160. The cost may be up to $260 if the appointment is extended for a tinnitus assessment, specialised hearing testing, or a hearing aid consultation. We believe in transparent pricing and allow enough time for a thorough assessment, clear explanation of your results, and personalised recommendations. If you are an eligible pensioner under the Hearing Services Program or a DVA cardholder, you may qualify for fully subsidised services.
What do I need to bring to my hearing test in Malvern?
For your hearing test appointment in Malvern, please bring your Medicare card, any private health fund details, and your GP referral if you have one. If available, please also bring any previous hearing test results, as they can be useful in assessing your hearing history.
