Hearing aids are essential devices that require regular maintenance and occasional repairs to ensure they function optimally. Whether you're experiencing issues with sound quality, physical damage, or general wear and tear, hearing aid repair services can help restore your devices.
We are here to support you with your hearing devices - even if they were fitted at another clinic. If you have moved into the area, or are looking for a new audiology clinic, we welcome everyone to book in for a review appointment with us to reassess your current hearing devices and work together to address any issues you may be experiencing.
We also offer on-site cleaning, servicing and are usually able to carry out minor repairs, for example, tubing replacement while you wait.
