We are your local, ethical audiology practice

In July 2024, Sunraysia Hearing Clinic (trading as country hearing care) and Ballarat Hearing clinic combined forces to create a new Country Hearing Care!

This strategic union marks a major milestone in our commitment to delivering unparalleled hearing care services across rural regions, from large and small regional towns to underserved remote areas, making us as one of the largest independent hearing care providers in the country.

  • The Chat: We’ll talk about your lifestyle, where you find it hard to hear, and any concerns you have.

Many hearing aids include sound therapy, which plays gentle sounds to help cover the tinnitus.
