The Hearing & Balance Centre – Who are We?
The Hearing & Balance Centre is a multidisciplinary team of audiological professionals, based in Sydney NSW and well equipped to provide you with all your hearing and balance care.
From an initial screening test or diagnostic hearing test, through to fitting a suitable hearing aid and providing ongoing support and maintenance, our team is focused on identifying and solving your hearing and balance problems in the most professional manner possible.
The team includes five Audiologists, a Neurophysiotherapist and a tinnitus Psychologist, working out of three clinics in Sydney.
What We Stand For
Over the years we have developed a philosophy of hearing healthcare that resonates well with our patients. We stand for:
- Working together: our audiologists, psychologist and neurophysiotherapist work together in planning patient care; this ensures the right hearing test is provided, the appropriate hearing aid is selected, the right individual tinnitus management plan is established and the right dizziness therapy is recommended – just to name a few examples.
- Independence: we pride ourselves on being independent of any hearing aid manufacturer or external commercial companies. This enables our audiologists to choose any brand of hearing aid available in Australia – ensuring our patients receive the most appropriate solution.
- Professionalism: our senior audiologists are fully qualified and hold current clinical certificates. They are all members of the Audiological Society of Australia and take part in continuing education programs on a regular basis. This is essential in a profession that utilises rapidly changing technology and enables us to maintain the highest level of clinical and ethical standards.
- Standard of care: all our patients are treated with care and respect. All of our staff members are trained to listen to the individual’s needs and are enthusiastic about delivering the highest level of hearing healthcare.
Beyond helping patients with their hearing and balance problems, we also contribute to the wider community via programs in the Northern Territory and elsewhere.
Brief History
The St Vincent’s Hospital centre was established in 1994 in Darlinghurst, in the eastern suburbs of Sydney.
Since then we have expanded as needed, with new centres established in Double Bay (also in Sydney’s eastern suburbs) and in Balmain (in Sydney’s inner west.)
Remember: Better quality of life may only be a hearing test away!
