Essence Audiology is a locally owned and independent clinic, based in Wodonga with sites in Albury and Corryong.
"Independence means patients get unbiased advice and access to all leading hearing aid manufacturers," Mr Nair said. Eligible patients can avail subsidies through the Australian Government Hearing Services Program. Those who receive Centrelink Concession or DVA Gold/White card may contact Essence to find out how to claim these subsidies.
"Digital technology has allowed hearing aids to make huge advances, including rechargeable batteries, Bluetooth streaming and invisible in-the-ear options. These devices adjust automatically as your listening environment changes, and seamlessly integrate with other technologies, such as telephones and mobile phones," he said. "Aesthetically, hearing aids are now amazingly small and more discreet than ever before."
Mr Nair said that Essence Audiology offered a 30-day money-back guarantee. "Patients can try any device that they like without obligations."
