DVA Hearing Services

Hearing Services for Veterans

Hearing difficulties are common among veterans due to age-related hearing loss, noise exposure during military service, and other health-related factors.

If you are experiencing hearing loss, tinnitus, difficulty following conversations, increasing television volume, or communication challenges, you may be eligible for DVA-funded hearing services.

Our DVA Hearing Services Include:

✔ Comprehensive Hearing Assessments

✔ Fully Subsidised Hearing Aids for Eligible Veterans

✔ Tinnitus Assessment and Management

✔ Hearing Aid Fitting and Programming

✔ Hearing Aid Maintenance and Support

✔ Ongoing Audiology Reviews

✔ Personalised Hearing Care Plans

Our commitment is simple — providing trusted hearing care backed by clinical expertise and ongoing support.

Who Is Eligible for DVA Hearing Services?

You may qualify for DVA-funded hearing services if you hold an eligible Department of Veterans’ Affairs card.

DVA Gold Card Holders: Gold Card holders are generally eligible for clinically necessary hearing services and approved hearing devices.

DVA White Card Holders: White Card holders may be eligible where hearing loss has been accepted as a service-related condition.

Eligible Dependants: Certain dependants of eligible veterans may also qualify under DVA program guidelines.

What Happens During a DVA Hearing Assessment?

Our comprehensive hearing assessments are designed to provide a complete understanding of your hearing health and communication needs.

1. Hearing and Lifestyle Consultation

Your clinician will discuss:

• Current hearing concerns
• Communication challenges
• Tinnitus symptoms
• Medical and ear health history
• Lifestyle and listening environments
• Personal hearing goals

This helps us tailor recommendations specifically to your needs.

2. Ear Health Examination

Using specialised equipment, we examine your ears for:

• Ear wax build-up
• Infection
• Inflammation
• Eardrum abnormalities
• Other ear health concerns

3. Comprehensive Hearing Testing

Our modern diagnostic testing is comfortable, accurate, and non-invasive.

Tests may include:

Pure Tone Audiometry: Measures your hearing sensitivity across different frequencies and volumes.

Speech Testing: Evaluates how clearly you hear and understand speech.

Tympanometry: Assesses middle ear function and eardrum movement.

4. Clear Explanation of Results

We explain your results in easy-to-understand language.

Where hearing loss is identified, we may recommend:

• Hearing aids
• Communication strategies
• Assistive listening devices
• Monitoring and follow-up care

Fully Subsidised Hearing Aids for Eligible Veterans

If hearing aids are recommended and you meet DVA eligibility requirements, you may be able to access fully subsidised hearing devices through approved government programs.

Your audiologist will help select the most appropriate solution based on:

• Hearing assessment results
• Lifestyle requirements
• Comfort and ease of use
• Communication goals
• Bluetooth and connectivity preferences

Included Support:

✔ Professional Hearing Aid Fitting

✔ Real Ear Measurements (REM)

✔ Device Programming and Fine-Tuning
