Book a Hearing Assessment Today

Telex Hearing Centres offer hearing tests that take approximately one hour and do not require a referral from your GP.

If you are a pensioner or a veteran, you are entitled to a free full assessment through the Office of Hearing Services. Please contact us for more information.

Telex Hearing Centre can assess adults and children (7 years+), and all testing is conducted in an insulated sound booth (in our full–time clinics).

Our visiting clinics have been sound tested and comply with all standards and conditions enforced by the federal government. We use the latest modern equipment for all our assessments, and all equipment has been calibrated within the last 12 months.

What’s Involved:

A comprehensive ear health and hearing history
Otoscopy – looking in the ear for obstructions or infections
Tympanometry – tests the middle ear system for any blockages
Air conduction – headphone testing of the main ten speech tones from 250Hz to 8000Hz
Bone conduction – vibrating headband to directly test the inner ear to verify if your hearing loss is permanent or temporary
Speech testing – present a list of words at varying volumes to assess your speech discrimination
A comprehensive discussion of results and recommendations
Written report to GP, speech pathologist, specialist etc., if required
Adequate time is allowed so all your questions can be answered. If the results indicate a hearing aid would be beneficial, an in-depth discussion will be offered if you want to try a hearing aid.
