Have you heard about Specsavers Audiology Toowoomba?
Specsavers Toowoomba has launched a new audiology service to customers, revolutionising the industry for Queensland by offering hearing aids and care at clear, low prices.
But while affordable services and products are important, Specsavers Audiology Toowoomba’s new owner and audiologist Celia Kelly says professionalism and customer care is the key to success.
“I have always had an interest in health care and technology and so this inspired me to complete a Masters of Audiology Studies from the University of Queensland and become an audiologist,” says Celia.
“I love being able to help people improve their quality of life through better hearing. It’s amazing to hear stories from patients after they have completed their aural rehabilitation journey. Often, they come back in with a smile and tell me how much easier they find interactions with family and friends. This really helps with their confidence and overall wellbeing.”
Joining Specsavers Toowoomba at Grand Central and Clifford Gardens, Celia is most looking forward to owning her own audiology clinics that align with Specsavers’ values.
“Specsavers offers professional eye care and eye wear and is now extending its values to hearing, offering the best technology hearing aids at affordable price points.
“At the moment it takes most Australians 7-10 years to acknowledge they have hearing loss before they do anything to help it – if they do anything at all. During these years, I have personally seen so many cases where the individual becomes unable to effectively join in on conversations, so they lose their confidence and start to become isolated. I am passionate about providing affordable, good quality hearing service and I know I can do this at Specsavers,” says Celia.
One in six Australians experience hearing loss, yet only one in three does anything about it.
Specsavers’ Executive Director of its newly created audiology business, Darrel Magna says the new audiology offering is giving Australians exceptional value in hearing aids and care as well as the expert service that the Specsavers brand has become well-known for.
“By offering audiology, we’re providing truly accessible health care for our customers’ ears as well as their eyes. The earlier we detect and treat hearing loss, the less of an impact the problem will have on a person’s hearing long term.
“All customers at Specsavers Toowoomba at Grand Central and Clifford Gardens will now have a free five-minute hearing screen included as part of their overall health check in store. We don’t want Australians to have to wait 7-10 years to do something about their hearing challenges, especially if it means they can’t live their lives to the full,” he said.
If you feel like your hearing isn’t as good as it should be, Specsavers Audiology Toowoomba are now taking bookings for free* 15-minute hearing checks. If further testing is required, comprehensive hearing assessments with Celia are being offered for $49. If you require hearing assistance as a result, the stores have a range of hearing aids designed and built by leading manufacturers, which feature cutting-edge innovations in hearing assistance. A pair of hearing aids starts from $1495.
“We’re open for hearing checks seven days a week and if further testing is required, appointments can be made. Our new sound-controlled audiology testing rooms have been set up especially, with the latest in audiology technology.”
