Independent advice across every major brand, helping you find the right hearing aid.
Most people arrive here after years of managing. Turning the TV up. Asking people to repeat themselves. Nodding along and hoping for the best.
What comes next should be straightforward.
Knox Audiology is independently owned and not aligned to any hearing aid manufacturers, which means every major brand is genuinely on the table. Recommendations are based on your hearing, lifestyle and your budget. With no pressure or agenda, just honest advice from a team that has been caring for hearing health in Melbourne’s east for more than 30 years.
We start with a full hearing assessment to understand your hearing, lifestyle and what matters most to you. No two people are the same, and neither are the devices we recommend.
Your audiologist will guide you through suitable options across multiple brands and price points. It’s worth bringing a partner, family member or close friend to this appointment, as there’s a lot of information to take in. You will be given time to consider the options, without pressure to make a decision on the spot.
Once you’re fitted with your chosen hearing aids, you’ll take them home and experience sound in real life over a two-week period. You will check in with your audiologist as many times as needed to make adjustments to help ensure everything feels right in everyday situations
If you decide within 30 days that hearing aids are not for you, there is absolutely no obligation to continue. The choice is always yours.
HICAPS available for some health funds to claim on-the-spot

Choosing hearing aids is only one part of your hearing journey. Ongoing adjustments, check-ups and support are all part of helping you hear well over time. Using a whole-person approach, we look beyond the hearing aid itself to help you stay connected to your world.
Hearing aids are available across a wide range of price points, from entry-level options through to premium technology. The right option depends on your hearing needs, lifestyle and preferences. Private health fund rebates and Australian Government Hearing Services Program assistance may also reduce costs for eligible clients, so the best way to understand your options is through a hearing assessment.
No referral is needed to book a hearing assessment or hearing aid appointment. A hearing assessment is required first because hearing aids are fitted to your specific hearing loss profile and listening needs. If you are eligible for the Australian Government Hearing Services Program, we can sign you up on the day and claim your benefits.
Most people adjust to hearing aids within a few weeks, although everyone’s experience is different. Your brain needs time to relearn sounds it may not have heard clearly for some time. Follow-up appointments and adjustments are an important part of helping hearing aids feel comfortable and natural.

Bringing your health fund details to your appointment allows us to assist you with checking your entitlements during your appointment.

The Hearing Services Program is an Australian Government program that helps eligible Australians access subsidised hearing services and hearing devices. Eligibility is generally based on age, concession card status or veteran status. If you are unsure whether you qualify, please ask us when booking your appointment.
Most hearing aids are replaced every five to seven years, although this varies depending on the device, technology and how well it is maintained. Regular servicing, adjustments and check-ups can help extend the life and performance of your hearing aids. Ongoing support is an important part of getting the most from your hearing technology.
We’re here to help you start hearing things clearly again.
