Hearing Aid Audiologist

“I have always had a passion for helping people and at Hidden Hearing I get to fulfil that passion every day.”

My name is David, and I am passionate about hearing health. I firmly believe that education and awareness of hearing loss will drive understanding and acceptance and encourage more people to care for their hearing health. Hearing loss is a natural phenomenon and should not be stigmatised. I'm delighted to work for a company that brings the conversation to the fore in the media and through social dialogue. We are committed to improving the nation's hearing health, and I am proud to play my part. Everyone at Hidden Hearing genuinely cares for our patients and is committed to improving lives and giving back to local communities.

Hearing loss is a serious healthcare problem that fails to get the recognition it deserves. I have seen it destroy personal confidence, relationships and life and I'm ardently committed to ensuring my patients don't suffer the negative consequences of this stealthy adversary.

I love my job, especially when I meet a patient who has all but lost the power of hearing, and I know that I can help. Hearing technology enables miracles, and I am delighted to play my part in connecting the patient to the right technology and a world of sounds.

I treat patients for mild, moderate, and profound hearing loss. I also specialise in communication disorders and aural rehabilitation and have a deep understanding of the emotional, psychological, physical, and cognitive issues associated with hearing loss. Technological innovations excite me, and I have extensive knowledge of conventional and digital hearing aids, as well as emerging technology. I hold a medical degree Diploma of Higher Education in Hearing Aid Audiology, and I plan to pursue a degree in psychology to understand my clients’ needs even better.

I am passionate about hearing health and patient care, and I am incredibly proud of my work. I experience an enormous sense of personal and professional satisfaction witnessing a patient regain their hearing. The excitement, delight and raw emotion are potent reminders of why I chose a career in audiology.

I have quite a few examples of patient experiences, but this one is always on the top of my list. When I met my client, she had been told that she wouldn’t be able to hear again. Her former audiologist suggested she learn sign language and accept her fate. She stubbornly refused to live a life without sound and called Hidden Hearing. Following a full hearing examination, I prescribed binaural coordination power hearing aids and her world flooded with sound. I remember I cried along with her on the day, it was so emotional and rewarding. Since then, she can communicate with her loved one and listen to TV and radio. She has been attending clinics with me for 8 years now and continues to enjoy a life enriched by sound.

I strongly suggest you don't delay treatment for hearing loss. Timely intervention enables effective treatment to improve long-term hearing ability by preventing or slowing further decline—moreover, the cost of hearing aids increases as hearing declines. If you look after yourself, you look after those close to you.

It is important to remember that hearing loss often happens gradually, and it might be difficult for you to notice changes in your hearing. The examples provided above are signs of hearing loss, and if you experience one or more of them, we recommend getting your hearing tested.

Why should you consider taking a hearing test?
If you experience symptoms of hearing loss, or if a friend or loved one recognises that you have signs of hearing loss, we advise getting your hearing tested as soon as possible. Even in cases of mild hearing loss, it is good to be proactive and seek treatment as early as possible. Hearing loss can worsen if it is left untreated.
