Understand Your Hearing.
How your hearing works.
Hearing is more than just your ear - it is a system that processes sound waves that allow us to communicate through speech, music and more.
Sound waves begin by travelling through the ear canal, vibrate the eardrum, and move tiny bones that pass these vibrations into the inner ear. From there, delicate hair cells in the cochlea convert vibrations into electrical signals, which your brain interprets as sound.
When any part of this system isn’t working properly, it can affect how clearly you hear and understand speech — especially in everyday environments like conversations, restaurants or family gatherings.
Hearing Loss in Adults.
Affecting 1 in 6 Australians
Hearing loss affects 1 in 6 Australians, with the likelihood of increasing as we age. Many adults delay seeking help for up to 7 years, which can lead to missed conversations, social withdrawal, and even links to cognitive decline.
The good news?
Early diagnosis and support can greatly improve quality of life and keep you connected with those around you.
