How well do you hear?
The hidden costs of hearing loss
Hearing loss is experienced differently by everyone. For some, it’s a loss of clarity — sounds seem muffled or less distinct. For others, it’s the growing challenge of following conversations in certain environments, like busy restaurants or family gatherings. However you or a loved one may experience hearing loss, there’s often a hidden impact that goes beyond what you can hear — affecting your overall health and wellbeing.
Research shows that when hearing declines, parts of the ear and brain can become less active over time. Simply put, if your ears aren’t being stimulated with sound, those pathways can weaken. There is also increasing evidence linking untreated hearing loss with a higher risk of cognitive decline, including dementia.
The good news is that early action can make a real difference. If you’ve noticed changes in your hearing, don’t wait. Taking steps sooner rather than later can help you stay connected, confident, and supported in your long-term health.
How does hearing impact your health?
Hearing tests at Hearing Sense are different
A proper comprehensive hearing test, including testing your ability to hear in background noise is vital for accurate diagnosis and treatment. At Hearing Sense, we evaluate
- Your lifestyle and any hearing difficulties you may be experiencing
- Which pitches and sounds are difficult for you to hear
- Your ability to hear speech in noisy and quiet situations
- The physiology of your ears
In fact, our 60 minute hearing test assessment includes 7 distinct components to test all parts of your hearing system – including your brain’s ability to understand speech. Once it’s completed, you’ll have a better understanding of your hearing health and we’ll be able to make recommendations on what you should do next.
Types of hearing aids in Adelaide
We have one of the widest ranges of hearing aids in Adelaide because we are an independent, family-owned business.
Adelaide certified Lyric Hearing Aids provider
Lyric is the world’s only 100% invisible hearing aid
Even better, Lyric Hearing Aids can be worn 24/7 for months at a time. Unlike other hearing aids, Lyrics are placed deep into the bony portion of the ear canal – just 4mm from the ear drum. This means Lyric Hearing Aids provide amazing sound quality without surgery or anaesthesia.
Professional ear wax removal services
Struggling with blocked, itchy, or uncomfortable ears? Our qualified hearing specialists offer safe, effective ear wax removal using microsuction. Microsuction is a gentle, water-free technique considered the gold standard for clearing wax build-up, with no risk to your eardrum. Available at our Norwood and Unley clinics, no referral is needed.
Give your ears a hearing aid test drive
Choosing hearing aids is about finding the perfect solution for you- and that’s not something you can judge from a trial of hearing aids in an appointment in the clinic.
That’s why we offer a completely free, obligation-free 30-day trial. It gives you the opportunity to experience your hearing aids in your own everyday life- at home, at work, in restaurants, with family and friends – and discover the difference they can make.
Throughout your trial, your Hearing Sense clinician will work closely with you to fine-tune your hearing aids and make sure they are comfortable, easy to use and sound fantastic. And because every person and every hearing loss is different, we will take the time to find the solution that is just right for you, including considering different hearing aid brands or styles if needed.
There is no cost or obligation – just the chance to experience better hearing for yourself.
Already have hearing aids, but think they could be better?
Sometimes a second opinion or a fresh set of eyes can make a big difference and we are happy to help you. We’ll start by giving you one of our thorough hearing tests at no charge.
Then we’ll look at the programming of your current hearing aids to see if we can improve the sound clarity because hearing clearly requires more than increasing the volume. Instead, improved clarity comes from finely tuning your hearing aids to your specific requirements. It doesn’t matter if you are a private patient or visiting us under a government hearing aid voucher scheme.
Payment options are available
To make it easier for you to purchase the right hearing aid for you, we offer hearing aid payment options – including our interest free Ezidebit payment plan.

Since switching to Lyric from my previous hearing aids it almost feels as if I don’t have a hearing problem. Most of the time I am not even aware that I have them in and it is great not having to make sure I am carrying spare batteries everywhere in case I need them and not to have daily, weekly and monthly cleaning rituals. They are so invisible, many people are surprised if I mention that I am wearing hearing aids. The service from Hearing Sense has been fantastic. Always friendly, quick and easy.
David Kay
I just want to say that for the first time in many years I am now able to hear the speakers at our church service. It has always been very frustrating until now so thank you everyone at hearing sense.
Elias Siahamis
I like to support local business, and found Hearing Sense after seeing an advertisement. The staff are extremely polite, helpful and patient. They are also very supportive to get the hearing aids fitted correctly. I went back a few times to get it right and on each occasion, they were helpful and patient. I cannot recommend Hearing Sense highly enough. Top class service!
Lyal Williams
The team at Hearing Sense made me feel at ease immediately. They took the time to educate me on my hearing test and results. I was offered solutions for my needs with no pressure to proceed with purchasing devices. I was amazed when they advised that I could connect my hearing aids to my phone. My quality of life is better thanks to my hearing aids and Hearing Sense.
