When to book an assessment
A diagnostic assessment is worthwhile if any of these sound familiar — or if your GP or ENT has recommended one.

Common Questions
Allow around 45 to 60 minutes. This gives us time to complete the full diagnostic battery and discuss your results properly, without rushing.
How long does the assessment take?
You don't need a referral to book, but a valid referral from your GP or ENT is required to claim a Medicare rebate. We can guide you on this when you call.
Do I need a referral?
Not at all. A hearing assessment is completely non-invasive and comfortable. You'll wear headphones and respond to a series of tones and words.
Will it hurt?
Yes. With your consent, a full diagnostic report can be sent to your GP, ENT or other treating practitioner.
