What is an audiologist?
An audiologist has usually completed a master's degree in audiology and is accredited by Audiology Australia or a member of ACAud. They assess hearing and fit and adjust hearing aids. The profession isn't registered with Ahpra.
What an audiologist does
- Hearing tests for adults and children
- Choosing, fitting and fine-tuning hearing aids, with follow-up
- Assess tinnitus and some balance problems
How they differ from similar roles
Audiometrists usually hold a vocational diploma; they test adults' hearing and fit hearing aids but generally don't see children or complex cases. An ENT (ear, nose and throat) specialist is a doctor who treats ear disease and does surgery, usually with a referral.
When to see an audiologist
- Trouble following conversations, or turning the TV up louder
- Ringing in the ears, or hearing worse in one ear
- Older parents needing new or replacement hearing aids
How Extras usually pays
Typical price $150–$220; Extras typically pays $80–$140 (per hearing assessment).
（Estimate only — your insurer has the final say）
Hearing aids are usually claimed under an appliances or hearing-aid limit, often once every few years, with a longer waiting period. Some policies cover hearing tests and some don't. Check your policy.
Prices and rebates for HearingQualifications and registration
Audiologists aren't Ahpra-registered. Look for an audiologist accredited by Audiology Australia or a member of ACAud — insurers usually require this.
Good to know
- Before buying hearing aids, ask about the total price, the trial period and follow-up adjustments, then check the rebate with your insurer.
- Pensioners and veterans may be eligible for the government Hearing Services Program — worth asking first.
