About Telex Hearing Centre

Professional Audiology Services – Family Owned & Operated Since 1969

Family Experts- Helping the Community Hear Better for 55 years!

Audiologists are hearing healthcare professionals who identify, diagnose, treat and manage hearing loss and other ear disorders. Audiologists use a variety of diagnostic tests to assess hearing and balance function and dispense and manage hearing aids and other assistive listening devices. 

Graham Rathbone has been servicing the community as a hearing care professional since 1969. His son Simon (Clinical Audiologist) joined the practice in 2002, and Graham’s daughter Marnie (Audiometrist) joined the practice in October 2004. Telex Hearing Centre has built its reputation in fitting only the most advanced and technically sophisticated hearing instruments. Our services are available to private, pensioner, and veterans’ affairs patients.

We regularly offer services beyond our Hurstville and Miranda clinics to make sure that everyone has the opportunity to access professional audiologist services, no matter the location. The Team at Telex Hearing Centre provide comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of hearing disorders for people of all ages, from infants to the elderly. 

We use state-of-the-art testing equipment and strategies and our years of experience to determine the best course of action for each patient. In addition to looking after your hearing health, we also dispense a range of high-quality hearing aids from leading manufacturers. 

Our team will work with you to find the perfect hearing aid to suit your lifestyle and budget. If you’re not sure whether you need a hearing aid, we offer a free initial consultation where we will discuss your concerns and assess your needs. Contact us today to book an appointment with one of our audiologists.

FAQ

Do you offer audiology services for kids?

We only treat kids older than 7, adults, and senior citizens.

What audiology services do you offer?

Our audiology services include providing hearing assessment to treat tinnitus, ear blockage, infections, or any ear problem that is leading to hearing loss. We also provide hearing aids from leading brands and guide the patient through picking the devices that best suit their needs.

How do I know I am losing my hearing?

Hearing loss is a slow process, it progresses over time. However, if you notice something is wrong with your hearing, seek immediate help from an audiologist. It could be ringing and phantom sounds indicating tinnitus, your ear may feel plugged due to ear wax impaction, or an injury to your head and neck may also impact your hearing.

How to help my loved ones hear better?

Getting an assessment is the first step to making them feel better. Once we know what’s causing them to lose hearing we can offer hearing aids and advanced treatments according to the diagnosis.

What areas do you service outside of your Hurstville and Miranda clinics?

In addition to our Hurstville and Miranda clinics, we visit senior citizen’s homes and nursing homes in Mudgee, Dubbo, Orange, Wellington, and Gilgandra.
