If you’ve ever had a hearing test or worn a hearing aid, chances are you’ve seen an audiologist. But what exactly does an audiologist do, and how can they help you or your loved ones?

Audiologists are university-trained healthcare professionals who specialise in hearing, balance, and auditory processing disorders. We assess and diagnose hearing loss, fit and program hearing aids, provide counselling and support, and offer solutions for tinnitus and noise protection. We work with patients of all ages — from newborns needing hearing screening to adults managing age-related hearing changes.

Our work goes beyond just identifying hearing loss. We take the time to understand how it impacts your lifestyle, relationships, and well-being. Whether it’s fitting a discreet hearing aid, recommending hearing protection for noisy workplaces, or guiding a parent through a child’s hearing diagnosis — we’re here to support every step of your hearing journey.

At Andra Bester Hearing Centre, our audiologists are fully qualified, experienced, and passionate about delivering ethical, personalised care. We use advanced diagnostic tools and stay up to date with the latest in audiology to ensure world-class treatment.

When you visit an audiologist, you’re not just getting a test — you’re getting a partner in lifelong hearing health.
