What are the benefits of Hear With Me's second opinion appointment?

If you would like a second opinion on a recommendation made to you, we’d love to help.

At Hear With Me, we believe that people who get hearing aids should be able to get the most out of them. 

If you aren’t confident in your current hearing aids, or what has been recommended to you by others – we can help. 

In this appointment, we explore your listening needs, your hearing levels and (if applicable) assess any current hearing aids .

We begin with a comprehensive hearing assessment, unless you’ve had one completed recently.

We discuss your hearing results with you so you can understand the causes – such as why you might have particular difficulties in some areas and not others, and why some devices might work while others might not.

We explore your lifestyle, goals and listening needs. We find out who and what is important to you. By listening to you, we can make an accurate recommendations for your unique circumstances.

We don’t typically recommend that anyone obtain new hearing aids if your current hearing aid(s) can still be optimised.

But if you need a recommendation regarding the latest hearing aids that can work for you – we can do that with great precision too.

Book this appointment appointment to explore your available options and ask questions, so that you can decide what is best for you.

What happens at the appointment?

This appointment is adapted to your individual needs.

It is important for both of us to work with good hearing results as this can greatly influence expectations and outcomes. Therefore, we need your most recent hearing results (within 12 months). If the hearing results were not comprehensive enough, we may have to conduct a new hearing assessment

We explore your needs and lifestyle as part of reviewing the suitability of your current hearing aids for your unique circumstances, as we do in our Hearing Solutions Discussion appointments. 

If you already have hearing aids, we ask that you bring your hearing aids to your appointment so that we can evaluate them. We typically do not recommend that anyone obtain new hearing aids if your current hearing aid(s) can still be optimised. 

If you do not have hearing aids yet, we will explore what you have been recommended to you by others.

Based on your unique lifestyle, hearing levels and listening needs, we then provide various recommendations that suit you. 

We aim to provide you with confidence about your next steps in managing your hearing.

How should I prepare for the appointment?

Bring to your appointment any previous hearing results as well as any hearing devices that you would like optimised.

If you have been referred by an ENT or other doctor, please bring your referral as a Medicare rebate may sometimes be possible.
