Comprehensive Hearing Assessment in Surrey Hills

At Ear & Hearing Australia, we provide comprehensive diagnostic hearing assessments performed by independent, 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 Surrey Hills audiology clinic, located at 174 Union Road — in the heart of the Surrey Hills shopping strip. Street parking is available on Union Road, and Surrey Hills Train Station is a short walk away.

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.

Christopher K

Since the introduction of my Hearing Aids I can now hear my two grandchildren playing in the garden when I am inside and also when they talk softly to me. I can hear the birds outside and have good conversations with my friends. Watching TV now means the whole street doesn’t have to listen to what I am watching. And most of all I feel safer in my home because I can now hear everything. Thank you to the team at Ear and Hearing life is much better for me now I can hear.

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 Surrey Hills, 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 Surrey Hills?
Our hearing tests in Surrey Hills 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 Surrey Hills 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 Surrey Hills clinic?
Yes. At Ear & Hearing Australia in Surrey Hills, 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.

No referral is needed for a private hearing test in Surrey Hills. 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 Surrey Hills clinic?
Our comprehensive diagnostic hearing test fee at the Surrey Hills 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 Surrey Hills?
For your hearing test appointment in Surrey Hills, 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.
