Hearing test results can be overwhelming and confusing. It is important to understand your results and how it may affect your daily routine so that you can be part of the conversation with your hearing provider.
If you or a loved one has had a recent hearing test and you would like a better understanding of the results we can provide an unbiased explanation on how different devices can assist you.
Our audiologist is experienced with both hearing aids and over the counter devices that may assist you to meet your hearing goals. She will be able to discuss your needs and provide you with ideas that you can take to your hearing provider. This service aims to educate you so you can champion your hearing health.

Ear Wax Removal
The ear works to remove wax naturally through its self-cleaning mechanism and movement of the jaw. Generally, it requires no intervention, however, sometimes it builds up blocking the ear canal which may lead to discomfort, itchiness, a blocked sensation, or voices sounding muffled.
Unlike traditional ear syringing, with microsuction the ear is kept dry throughout the procedure making it easy to perform with minimal risk.
Microsuction is a comfortable and safe alternative to ear syringing and recommended by Ear nose and Throat specialists.
Ear Wax Removal Fees: $110 adult, $100 Pensioner & $85 Child (age 5 -15)
*Location over 10km from Currumbin may incur an additional travel fee
Hearing Tests For Adults

Central Auditory Processing Disorder
Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) testing is now available at Coastal Audiology for children and adults.
CAPD is thought to affect about 5% of the population. It is a disorder in which the ears can hear normally but have difficulty processing and interpreting speech.
For people affected by CAPD, it can be difficult to concentrate and understand conversation and instructions in more complex environments such as when there are distracting noises like in classrooms, cafes/restaurants or other social settings with background noise. This can lead to learning, language and reading difficulties, increased fatigue and social withdrawal.
