New hearing expert in the Cairns community

Audiology professional Kriscel Estanislao introduces hearing care to Cairns

Local qualified Specsavers audiology professional Kriscel Estanislao is delighted to announce the introduction of a new audiology service in-store. Specsavers Audiology Cairns Earlville is now open to help with any hearing concerns and to protect and support locals’ hearing health, through expert advice and caring service.

According to research, approximately 44,030 people in the Cairns electoral division suffer from hearing loss, and it can take 7-10 years for them to act on it. Kriscel is on a mission to get more people hearing better and provide the community with a supportive care-driven hearing service for years to come. and change a person’s outlook on life. A person can confidently have conversations with family and friends without the fear of missing out”, says Kriscel.

“I’m really excited to be a part of the Cairns community and I encourage all locals who might have concerns about their hearing to come in for a free 15 minute hearing check*.”

I THINK I MAY BE HARD OF HEARING – WHAT’S NEXT?

“Our research found that 37% of Australians 40+ aren’t aware of the common signs of hearing loss.

On top of this, those 40+ know at least two people they think suffer from hearing loss but almost half have never suggested a hearing test, mainly because they are worried it would hurt the person’s feelings. Often someone close to the person will notice before they do that they can’t hear so well, so it’s really important to look out for signs such as turning the TV up loud, putting their mobile on speaker phone, lip reading and asking people to repeat themselves,” Kriscel says.

Kriscel encourages anyone from the community who thinks they may be hard of hearing to come in store for a free 15-minute hearing check*. If further testing is required, a comprehensive, 60 minute, hearing assessment is then undertaken. During this appointment, Kriscel will carry out a comprehensive diagnostic assessment and will be able to determine if hearing aids would be beneficial.

I NEED HEARING AIDS - WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?

We will never recommend hearing aids if you don’t need them or suggest spending more money than you have to. Prices for our full range of latest technology hearing devices are clearly available online or instore so you know exactly how much you will pay. Our hearing assessments are just the start of your hearing journey and we’re here to support you along the way for years to come,” Kriscel Estanislao says.
