Ask anyone who's lived around Currimundi Lake for a while and they'll tell you Aroona is one of those suburbs where you can be parked on Bulcock Street before your coffee's gone cold. It's an established, quietly settled part of the coast — handy to Currimundi Marketplace, tucked against the lake reserve, and close enough to town that a hearing test never has to be a whole-day undertaking. If conversations at family barbecues or the volume on the television have quietly become sticking points, getting it checked is a short trip, not a production.
Set aside roughly 45–60 minutes for a chat about what you've been noticing, a series of painless diagnostic checks carried out in a controlled setting, and plain-language results before you leave — no referral, no obligation. Full process details: Comprehensive Adult Hearing Assessment.

From Aroona, it's roughly a 5–8 minute run via Nicklin Way and Caloundra Road, straight into the Bulcock Street town centre — among the closest drives of any suburb we see patients from. Street parking or the Bulcock Street car park is close to the door, so there's no need to build in extra time unless you're coming in on a Sunday, when the Street Markets bring more foot traffic and slower parking turnover along the strip. Outside of that, it's a straightforward in-and-out visit.
Aroona sits alongside two long-established retirement complexes near the Nicklin Way corridor, and we regularly see residents from these communities booking in without any referral required. Hearing changes tend to creep in slowly — often it's a grandchild who mentions the TV's too loud, or a friend who has to repeat themselves over lunch at Currimundi Marketplace, before anyone thinks to get it checked. A baseline hearing test simply gives you a clear, honest picture of where things stand, whether that means taking action or filing the result away for next time.
As a contracted provider under the Australian Government Hearing Services Program (HSP), we can offer subsidised hearing assessments to eligible Aroona residents — Pensioner Concession Card holders and DVA Gold or White Card holders. A Commonwealth Seniors Health Card doesn't qualify on its own, which trips up a few people locally, so bring your card along and we'll confirm eligibility electronically on the day. Full details: Hearing Services Program guide.
Your hearing test is carried out by Linda Whittaker, a Qualified Audiometrist with over 20 years of experience and ACAud accreditation. Linda takes an unhurried, independent approach — explaining what your results mean and what your options are, without pressure.
It's a short, direct drive — Aroona is among the closest suburbs we serve, typically 5–8 minutes via Nicklin Way and Caloundra Road.
Not usually, but it's worth allowing extra time on Sunday Street Market days, when Bulcock Street sees more foot traffic and parking takes a little longer to find.
Yes — we regularly see residents from retirement communities near Currimundi Lake, and no referral is needed to book.
