Prices of these devices can depend and vary due to many factors. Hearing aids are utilised to effectively assist individuals with hearing loss on a daily basis. Every person is exposed to a different environment for example noisy lifestyle vs quiet and working individual vs retired at home. Years of research and development goes into these devices to ensure they are aesthetically pleasing (small vs big) as well as to ensure that they are safe to wear on the ears. Some hearing aids are very sophisticated in that they have built in Artificial Intelligence (AI) which support the listener and furthermore hearing aids may also have added features such as bluetooth and wind-noise management. Importantly, the prescribed settings of these hearing aids need to be conducted by your experienced hearing professional to optimise your listening requirements according to your hearing loss. The following is a range of prices from the manufacturers we work with including, Unitron, Oticon, Phonak, Bernafon and Starkey. We are independent audiologists which means that we can fit any of the products supplied by these manufacturers and we can choose and level of technology discussed with you in a consultation.

Some medical aids do have a hearing aid benefit which can assist you to purchase hearing aids. However, it is your responsibility to find out the exact amount which the medical aid will cover, we are not contracted to any medical aid and CANNOT find this out for you due to the POPI ACT.

The price of a full hearing test is approximately R800 and depends on what other tests we conduct on the day of the appointment. The full appointment will take about 45 mins to an hour as we conduct a comprehensive history as we would love to get to know you better!

On the day of your appointment, please arrive 10 minutes earlier to complete your file and a POPI form. Thereafter we will call you in and start with your case history which is elaborate (please bring along water). We then will conduct an ear exam, the audiologist will show you on a screen what the inside of your ear looks like. After making sure your ear is healthy, we will then conduct a middle ear examination to check the middle ear pressure, compliance of the eardrum and ear canal volume of both your ears, which will confirm the presence or absence of blockages and ear infections. Thereafter, we will move along swiftly to testing your actual hearing where we will insert earplugs and headphones onto your ears and you will need to respond to the softest beep sound you hear. We will also test the softest level of speech you hear to confirm whether your hearing test is reliable. Furthermore, if necessary we may conduct an inner ear test which gives us an indication of your cochlea hair cell functioning.

We are an independent private practice and are not contracted to any medical aid, we do not work directly with medical aid. It is preferable for you to make an upfront payment for a CONSULT/HEARING TEST, and then we will supply you with an invoice to submit to your medical aid to claim yourself. However, should you wish to purchase any amplification devices when recommended based on diagnosis of hearing loss, we may be able to submit to certain medical aids for claims.
