How We Help You Hear Your Best

about hearing aids Northcote

Tired of Missing the Conversation?

Many people we see in Northcote describe the same quiet struggle. Asking others to repeat themselves. Turning the TV up while everyone else complains. Avoiding noisy cafes, family lunches and group catch ups because following along is just too hard. Hearing loss is exhausting, and over time it can leave you feeling tired, disconnected and a step behind the people you love.

Gentle, playful toddler hearing checks made easy

My 2 year old son saw Niveen at ABI Williamstown for a routine hearing check. Niveen was incredibly kind, gentle and engaging with my son, changing up the activities to suit his interest. She is beautiful with kids and made the experience a breeze, thank you Niveen. Highly recommend Niveen and all of the wonderful staff at ABI.

Exceptionally caring team for toddlers and newborns

Came to see Dr. Niveen for my two-year-old, and I just had to share how wonderful the experience was. I rarely put reviews but this one needed one! All of the ladies there were so lovely and helpful … one even offered to help with my newborn while I focused on my toddler. Dr. Niveen herself was incredible. My son has never let any doctor, specialist, or anyone touch his ears before, but she made him feel so comfortable. She engaged him in such a fun, gentle way during his hearing test, and for the first time, he actually cooperated! I’ve never had such a positive experience with a specialist, and I truly appreciate the care and kindness we received!

Confident, friendly and highly skilled with kids

Niveen was brilliant with my 6 year old. She was friendly, confident, knowledgeable and efficient. She knew exactly what she was doing and did it well. Thanks Niveen for being great at your job!

Worth the travel for thorough assessments

Abi Hearing have always provided a thorough hearing assessment and a detailed level of audiology report for my daughter. The staff have always been kind, welcoming and accommodating. There are many more audiologists closer to home but we are happy to travel for such a positive experience.

Best hearing aid expertise in Melbourne

The Best Audiologist in Melbourne! I was looking for my parent an expert in hearing aids and gone through several big outlets who could not address the issues. My friend has referred me to Abi Hearing in Williamstown. My parent is now happy …

Transformative, reassuring care for hearing loss

I must admit having a bit of vanity here and also some anxiety about my slowly declining hearing loss that is however, until I met Niveen! How lucky was I! What a knowledgeable, patient, and kind professional! Niveen took her time answering multiple questions during my hearing test. She delivered the results tactfully and calmly, smoothing both my ego and my nerves as she told me yep, as I’d expected, my hearing was impaired

Calm, gentle testing for autistic children

We saw Niveen today, for a hearing test for my autistic 10-year-old. She was calm and kind and made it easy for him to do testing in a safe and gentle environment. We highly recommend her service.

FAQs About Hearing Aids Northcote

How do I know if I actually need hearing aids?

The best way to know is a comprehensive hearing test at our Northcote clinic. Our audiologist will assess your hearing across different frequencies and environments, then explain the results clearly. If hearing aids are not yet needed, we will tell you honestly. If they are, we will walk you through suitable options at your own pace.

How long does a hearing aid fitting appointment take?

A typical prescription and fitting appointment takes around 60 to 90 minutes. This gives us time to program your devices, check the physical fit, test performance and teach you how to use and care for them. You will leave feeling confident about your new hearing aids and supported with follow up reviews.

Which hearing aid brand is best for me?

The best brand depends on your hearing profile, lifestyle, dexterity and budget. Because we are independent, we compare models from Oticon, Phonak, ReSound, Signia, Starkey, Unitron, Widex and bone conduction options to find your ideal match. Our recommendation is always based on what will genuinely serve you best.

Do hearing aids come with a warranty or return period?

Yes. All hearing devices fitted at our clinic come with a 3 year manufacturer warranty for peace of mind. We also offer a 30 day return option so you can trial your hearing aids in real world situations. If they are not the right fit, we will work with you to find a better solution.

Can I get funding or subsidies for hearing aids?

Many of our patients access support through Medicare, WorkCover, TAC or Office of Hearing Services vouchers. We are fully accredited with these schemes and happy to help you understand your eligibility. Our team will explain all pricing and funding options clearly before you commit to anything.

What happens after I get my hearing aids fitted?

Your care continues long after the fitting. We provide follow up reviews, fine tuning, cleaning, repairs and ongoing optimisation to keep your devices performing their best. If your hearing or lifestyle changes, we adjust your aids to match. You are supported every step of the way.
