HEAR WITH ME | AUDIOLOGY CARE has been caring for locals in the Ivanhoe and Heidelberg area since April 2021. We are highly rated, with almost 200 Google Reviews due to our warm, personalised, comprehensive and honest approach to hearing care.
We see children of all ages as well as adults. We perform ear wax removals for children above 8. Our hearing aid process has always had no pressure, beginning with a trial, and only proceeding further when the patient is happy that the hearing aid(s) are right for them. We take a long-term view to things.
We have also become a provider of choice for people seeking an honest second opinion about their hearing aid options, or for medical practitioners and their families.
We work closely with local GPs, ENTs, Paediatricians and Speech Pathologists and try to be a local hub of consistent, long-term care for our patients.
