Why choose us
Choosing an audiologist is a decision about your health, your relationships and your confidence. At SS Audiology Eighty Two Pty Ltd, we practise truly independent audiology: qualified clinicians, honest recommendations and ongoing support for every client across Melbourne VIC.
Here is what sets our audiology and hearing care services apart — and why clients keep recommending us to family, friends and colleagues.
Your ears are in trained hands. Our audiologists hold university qualifications in audiology and are committed to continuing professional development, so every assessment, diagnosis and recommendation reflects current best practice in hearing science — not a sales script.
We are not owned by a hearing aid manufacturer, and our recommendations are never shaped by sales commissions. When we suggest a device or a care plan, it is because it suits your hearing loss, lifestyle and budget — not because it suits anyone's bottom line.
Every client journey begins with a full hearing assessment using calibrated clinical equipment. We take the time to explain your results in plain English, including what your audiogram means for conversations at work, at home and in noisy places.
Because we are independent, we can fit hearing technology from all of the leading manufacturers. You receive an honest comparison of features, connectivity, battery options and pricing — and a recommendation you can trust rather than a single-brand pitch.
Hearing aids need fine-tuning, cleaning and regular review, especially in the first few months. Our care plans include structured follow-up appointments and adjustments, so your devices keep performing at their best long after the day you walk out with them.
Our Melbourne VIC clinic is designed to be comfortable and unhurried, with appointments long enough for every question you have. We also support clients across the greater Melbourne area — see the full list on our areas we serve page.
Not all hearing care is the same. Here is how our approach compares with what you may encounter at a commission-driven hearing aid store.
| At SS Audiology Eighty Two | At commission-based retail (often) |

| Structured follow-up, cleaning and fine-tuning included in care plans | Aftercare may attract extra fees after purchase |
| Medicare and private health fund rebates where eligible | Rebate support varies widely by provider |
