What do hearing aids actually cost? 💰

Nobody wants to ask this out loud, so most people spend months guessing. Here are real numbers.

In Australia, you're broadly looking at $1,500 to $7,000+ for a PAIR. Not each — per pair. That distinction is where half the confusion starts.

Entry level runs about $1,500–$2,500. Mid-range, which is what most people privately end up choosing, is around $2,500–$4,500. Premium goes from $4,500 to over $7,000. Those figures usually include the fitting, the programming and your follow-up appointments, not just the hardware.

Now the part nobody enjoys: Medicare does not cover hearing aids. It covers some diagnostic testing in specific circumstances, but not the devices.

The good news, and a lot of people don't know this one: if you hold a Pensioner Concession Card or a Veteran Gold Card, you may be eligible for fully subsidised devices through the Australian Government Hearing Services Program. That's $0 for the device. There's an optional maintenance agreement of around $50 a year that covers batteries, servicing and repairs.

Private health does help, but less than most people hope. It's extras cover only, commonly $500–$2,000, usually claimable once every three to five years, and waiting periods run anywhere from 12 months to 36 depending on your fund. Check your policy before you count on it.

The real number for you depends on your hearing, your ear canals and what you're actually covered for. That's a conversation, not a price list.

You don't ask people to repeat themselves anymore. You just nod. 🙂

Somewhere in the last couple of years, you started doing things you never decided to do.

You pick the quiet side of the table. You watch people's mouths instead of their eyes. You laugh a half-beat after everyone else because you worked out the joke from the reaction, not the punchline. You've stopped taking calls in the car.

None of that felt like hearing loss. It felt like a noisy restaurant, a bad phone line, or people mumbling.

Here's the thing: you didn't miss the signs. You adapted so well that you hid them from yourself. Hearing loss can happen gradually enough that you keep adjusting without even realizing it.

A hearing test doesn't commit you to anything. It simply tells you where your hearing is actually at, instead of leaving you to guess.

It’s spring — that’s probably why your ear feels blocked. 🌸

Here’s the bit most people don’t know: the tube that drains your middle ear opens into the back of your nose. When hay fever swells that lining, the tube stops doing its job — and the pressure has nowhere to go.

So your ear feels full. Underwater. Like it needs to pop but won’t.

How to tell what might be causing it:

🤧 Runny nose, itchy eyes, both ears affected, and it comes and goes with the pollen → that’s more likely allergy-related. Treat the hay fever and your ears will often follow.

👂 One ear, no cold symptoms, and it hasn’t shifted in weeks → that may be wax. It often needs to be removed professionally.

If it’s wax, we remove it with microsuction — dry, no water near the eardrum, and performed under a microscope. It’s $120.

Book online or give us a call.

Why can I hear but not understand words? 🤔

This is the single most common thing we hear in the clinic. “I can hear you fine — I just can't make out what you're saying.” It's not you being distracted. There are two very different things it could be.

CONDUCTIVE — a volume problem. Something is physically blocking sound getting in: wax, fluid, an infection, a perforation. Your inner ear is working fine. Often this one is fixable.

SENSORINEURAL — a clarity problem. The sound gets in, but the hair cells in the inner ear that pick out fine detail are worn down. Consonants go first — S, F, TH — so words turn to mush, especially in a noisy room. This is why turning the TV up doesn't actually help.

Some people have both at once. That's mixed hearing loss.

Which one you have completely changes what happens next — so guessing isn't much use. A hearing test takes about half an hour and gives you a straight answer.

Is it ear wax or hearing loss? 👂

Most people who come in worried their hearing is going are actually just blocked. Here's how to tell the difference before you spiral.

1️⃣ It came on fast. Real hearing loss builds over years — you barely notice it. Wax can block you up in a week.

2️⃣ It's one ear. Hearing loss usually shows up in both, fairly evenly.

3️⃣ It feels full, not quiet. This is the tell people miss. Blocked ears feel pressured and underwater. Hearing loss just feels… quieter, and words go mushy.

If that sounds like you, it's a twenty-minute appointment, not a diagnosis. Jasmine removes it with microsuction — dry, no water near the eardrum, done under a microscope so she can see the whole time.

Blocked ear that won't clear? Comment “WAX” and we'll send you the booking link.

That ringing, buzzing or hissing in your ears? It has a name: tinnitus. 👂

And if you have it, you're in enormous company — around 1 in 4 Australian workers experience it, and roughly half a million hear it constantly.

Here's the reassuring part: it's a symptom, not a disease. It can be set off by loud noise, a build-up of ear wax, stress, some medications, or hearing loss you haven't noticed — and once you find the cause, it's often manageable.

If yours won't settle, Jasmine can assess your hearing and help you work out what's driving it.

Save this, and book an assessment in Castle Hill.

Nobody tells you what the first week with hearing aids actually feels like. So here it is. 👂

Day one: everything's louder than you remember. You'll hear your own fridge hum, your feet on the floor, the indicator in the car. It's a lot, and it's completely normal.

Day three: your brain starts filtering again. The fridge fades into the background. Conversations get easier.

Day seven: you stop noticing them. You just… hear. The TV's at a normal volume and nobody's fighting over the remote.

That adjustment is why we do it properly. Modern devices are rechargeable, discreet, and Jasmine fine-tunes them to you. And you can trial them at home before you commit.

You don't notice hearing loss. Everyone around you does. 👂

Three signs it might be time for a check:

1️⃣ The TV volume — You keep pressing the volume up.

2️⃣ “What?” in every noisy café — You catch half and nod at the rest.

3️⃣ You keep missing the phone — You can't hear it ringing.

The good news: a hearing test is quick, painless, and there's no pass or fail, just a clear picture of where you're at. Jasmine talks you through all of it.

Pat is 84. She stopped driving two years ago.

What her family noticed first wasn't her hearing, it was her going quiet. She'd stopped joining conversations at Sunday lunch, stopped answering the phone, drifted to the edge of the room. Not because she wanted to. Because following it all had become too hard, and getting to a clinic felt like too big a job.

So the clinic came to her. Same unhurried care Jasmine gives at Castle Hill, just in Pat's own living room.

Hills Audiology offers home and aged-care hearing visits across the Hills District, for older patients, anyone with limited mobility, and aged-care residents. And if you're a pensioner or veteran, you may be eligible for subsidised care under the Australian Government Hearing Services Program. Hills Audiology is fully accredited to provide it.

If you're the one quietly worrying about a parent, we're happy to talk it through. Call us to arrange a visit.
