We provide a variety of hearing aids, including rechargeable models with Bluetooth connectivity.

Children Hearing Testing
Paediatric testing at Soundscape Audiology focuses on assessing and diagnosing hearing concerns in children aged 5 and older. Our experienced audiologists use child-friendly methods and advanced tools, including play audiometry and speech audiometry, to evaluate hearing. Early detection is crucial for preventing speech, language, and academic delays.
Balance Testing
At Soundscape Audiology, we offer vestibular audiological assessments to evaluate inner ear function related to balance and vertigo concerns. These tests, including caloric testing, videonystagmography (VNG), and the vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) test. These assessments can help diagnose balance disorders like BPPV, Meniere's disease, and vestibular neuritis. Proper diagnosis leads to targeted treatments such as vestibular rehabilitation therapy. A referral from a GP, ENT, or neurologist is required for Medicare rebates.
Tinnitus Treatment
At Soundscape Audiology we provide tinnitus assessment and rehabilitation strategies. This involves a thorough evaluation to identify any known conditions that could cause tinnitus. Using tools like pitch matching and loudness discomfort tests, we determine the characteristics of the sound. Rehabilitation strategies include tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT), sound therapy, counseling, and hearing aids, aiming to reduce discomfort and improve your quality of life.
Custom Ear Plugs
Custom earplugs, including swim plugs and musician earplugs, protect your ears in different ways. Swim plugs, made from soft, water-resistant materials like silicone, prevent water from entering the ear, ideal for swimmers or those with ear sensitivities. Musician earplugs, equipped with special filters, reduce sound intensity without distorting music or speech, ensuring clear hearing while protecting against loud environments. Both types are custom-fitted for comfort and ear health.
