Hearing Aids

Cairns is the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef and World Heritage Rainforest.

Hearing instruments improve speech understanding in various situations and support the many functions of the human hearing. As the kind and degree of hearing loss varies from person to person and even sometimes from ear to ear, there are different hearing instrument models which are tailored to specific hearing losses and which take into account personal needs.


Digital Technology

Digital Technology

Computerization and the increasingly small micro-processors means digital technology has been introduced into the most modern hearing systems. Sound is transformed into a computer (binary) code at high speed and with great precision. Complex calculations provide the ultimate flexibility in providing individualized solutions to hearing loss with digital hearing aids being programmed by the Audiologist via a computer. This flexibility allows additional features such as various hearing programs, automatic program selection, noise cancelers and adaptive directional microphones to be used.


micro Devices

micro Device

The state-of-the art micro style devices are small and feather-light. The ergonomic design, combined with the extremely thin tubing, results in a uniquely satisfying cosmetic solution while being comfortable and easy to wear.They disappear behind your ear and you can forget you are wearing them.


Ear Level Devices

Ear Level Devices

Ear Level or Behind the Ear (BTE) devices are versatile and powerful hearing instruments that are worn behind the ear. They can be fitted for all degrees of hearing losses and are particularly beneficial for severe hearing losses and special requirements regarding hearing in difficult listening situations where additional systems are required.


In the Ear Devices

In the ear devices

In the Ear model (ITE) are devices that are worn in the ear. They cover hearing losses from mild to medium. The smallest ITE devices are called Completely in Canal (CiC), they can be worn completely in the canal and are therefore hardly visible and often the most aesthetically pleasing.
