A hearing aid is only as good as its fitting and the care that follows, which is why having someone nearby to adjust and service it matters. CQ Audiology visits Biloela, so people across the Callide Valley can be fitted and keep their aids in good order without a long round trip for every small thing.
Fitting and follow-up close to the Callide Valley
Our Biloela clinic is at the Ace Medical Centre, 48 Grevillea Street. Visiting-clinic days vary by location. Please call (07) 4848 6528 to confirm the next available clinic in Biloela before travelling.
Rechargeable or replaceable batteries
Within any style you can choose rechargeable aids that sit in a charger overnight, or aids that take replaceable batteries. Rechargeable models save fiddling with tiny batteries and suit a full day on the go, while replaceable batteries have their own following. We talk through what fits your hands and your habits rather than pushing one or the other.
Streaming from a phone or television
Most current aids stream sound from a mobile phone or a television straight into the ears over Bluetooth, which helps a lot if phone calls are your hardest listening situation. If that is the case for you, it is worth flagging early so we can factor it into the choice.
Why local aftercare counts
Central Queensland is a long way between towns, and an aid bought a plane trip away is fine right up until a wax filter blocks on a Tuesday morning. Being fitted locally makes adjustments, cleans and quick fixes a short trip instead of a lost day. Ongoing care covers reviews, replacing domes, tubes and wax filters, servicing to keep moisture and wax out, and repairs under warranty.
Your first weeks with new aids
Everyday sounds arrive all at once at first, and most people settle over a few weeks. Start at home where it is quiet, build your wearing hours up gradually, and note the moments that were hard so we can work from that list at your first review.
Paying for hearing aids
We set out the pathways before anything is ordered. Eligible pensioner concession card and DVA card holders may access services under the Australian Government Hearing Services Program; eligibility criteria apply. Our pensioner hearing aids in Biloela page and the Hearing Services Program page explain it. Where the program does not apply, aids are purchased privately, and some private health funds pay a benefit worth asking about.
