You don’t need a referral for a hearing test however for children and young adults under the age of 16 will receive a Medicare rebate if they do have a referral from a GP.

Hearing tests range in cost depending on the type of testing. It is dependent on the age of the person being tested (i.e. newborn babies compared to toddlers or school-age children).

If you’re over the age of 60, we recommend you have your hearing tested each year so that you can pick up any changes to your hearing quickly.

Part of the cost of a hearing test can be covered by Medicare if you’re under the age of 16 and have a referral from your GP. 

When you get new hearing aids, like any assistive listening devices, it can take a few weeks to get used to them. The main thing to keep in mind is that the brain has gotten used to living without certain sounds so with more sound around you it will need to learn to adapt to the different environmental sounds again.

“Getting my hearing back to as near normal as possible through the use of my new hearing aids has highlighted how the gradual loss of my hearing was denying me the pleasure of enjoying so many experiences in life.”
