When it comes to your health, having a hearing assessment is just as important as any other routine check-up. If you suspect you have hearing loss, you can book a hearing assessment with one of our hearing specialists. Signs of hearing loss can be slow to appear and difficult to identify, or they can be sudden and obvious. If you are aware of the general signs of hearing loss, you will be more likely to identify a potential problem. And if you’re searching for a trusted audiologist near you in Melbourne, the key is finding a clinic that actually listens and focuses on real ear care — not just hearing aids.
At earLAB — with welcoming clinics in Richmond and Footscray — we’re here to help with expert hearing assessments and microsuction services, tailored to your needs.
At earLAB, our university-qualified clinicians don’t just test your hearing.

When looking for an audiology clinic near you, choose one where people come first — not products.
Before you come it may be helpful to think about the following:
We recommend hearing tests once every five years for people ages 18 to 45. Between the ages of 45 and 60, the frequency increases to every three years, and over the age of 60, you should have a test every two years. That’s if you have no signs or risk of hearing loss. Otherwise, it should be more frequent. Just like your teeth and eyes, taking care of your hearing health should be part of your regular routine.
Early checks can make a big difference, helping to prevent minor issues from becoming more complex.
