Recent times have reminded us all just how important it is to be able to interact with others, and the ability to hear gives us the gift of this connection.
Deidre Breytenbach, principal audiologist at Noosa’s only 100 per cent independent, locally owned and operated hearing clinic, Noosa Hearing, said a hearing test is the first step to helping your hearing, communication, and relationships.
“Everyone over 55 should have their hearing tested,” Deidre recommended.
“Hearing problems in Australia are not uncommon, in fact they affect approximately one in six of us and are more prominent as we age,” she said.
“When we struggle to understand speech or certain sounds, connecting with others can soon become hard work. This is what we call hearing loss.”
It was a desire to put the needs of patients first and the flexibility of being able to spend time with them that prompted Noosa local Deidre to open her own clinic.
“I am dedicated to making the world a better place for people with hearing loss,” said Deidre, who is also committed to long-term service in the community.
Noosa Hearing focuses on individually tailored health outcomes, and their consultations allow enough time to undertake thorough assessments and get a full understanding of your unique lifestyle and hearing needs.
“We pride ourselves on providing a high quality, personalised and patient-focused health service.”
With dual qualifications in audiology and speech therapy, Deidre has more than 10 years’ experience, across three countries.
Treating clients from five to 105, Noosa Hearing is also an approved provider of fully subsidised services for eligible pensioners and DVA card holders. Conditions apply under the Australian Government Hearing Services Program.
“People are often surprised at the difference good hearing makes to their quality of life and relationships,” she said.
“If you would like a hearing test – we would love to help.”
Noosa Hearing operates within the long-established Noosa Optical, conveniently located at 1 Lanyana Way in Noosa Junction.
