Frequently asked questions.
Where are you located?
ENT SA, 30 Flinders St, KENT TOWN SA
How long are appointments?
All appointments are 90 minutes on a Friday afternoon.
Why do you need a GP referral for tinnitus and noise assessments?
The GP referral will list your medical history and medication that may be related to your tinnitus. We also write back to them with an update as part of our collaborative approach. When referred by a GP / ENT you may also be eligible for some money back on Medicare.
Do you provide Hearing Devices?
Yes, we do offer hearing aid fittings, but only for patients with tinnitus, hyperacusis, or those covered by DVA. If a hearing aid is already fitted, we can program a tinnitus-specific program if required and if the software allows it.
Please note that devices from some large chains may be locked, which can prevent us from making adjustments.
Are your services covered by Medicare, private health insurance, Hearing Services Program or DVA Gold / White Card?
Medicare - with GP referral, up to $100 is rebated for the hearing assessment portion of the appointment.
Private Health - Audiology consultations can be covered by health insurance, but it depends on the type of health insurance and the level of coverage.

Not yet, but we’re working on it.
For the initial assessment we require an in person appointment. We are in the process of arranging for telehealth for follow up appointments and device adjustments.
