Sophie graduated from Aston University (Birmingham, UK) in 2010 with a BSc (Hons) Audiology.

The Cooma Hearing Story
Our Story
Cooma Hearing began as a mobile ear wax removal service, providing microsuction in patients' homes across the region. As it grew, patients and local GPs were regularly asking for assessments, hearing aid advice and ongoing care closer to home.
After six months, the practice moved into permanent premises within Snowline Podiatry on Sharp Street, Cooma — a purpose-built clinic with a sound-treated testing room and dedicated sound booth for accurate, reliable assessments.
Care that came to you
A purpose-built clinic
After moving to Cooma, Sophie established Cooma Hearing with one aim: to provide local, independent hearing care for the Snowy Monaro community.
2025 · A local beginning
Responding to requests from across Bombala, Delegate and the surrounding region, a second clinic opened at Bombala Hospital. Sophie now visits one day each month for assessments, hearing aid services and ear wax removal.

Personalised, independent care
While the practice has grown from its mobile beginnings, the focus remains unchanged: personalised, independent hearing care for local communities throughout the Snowy Monaro region.
