Meridan Plains is one of those suburbs that quietly does double duty — a settled family community around the State School precinct, and increasingly a spot where adult children are helping older relatives with appointments too. Bordering Corbould Park and Caloundra West, it sits close enough to the Caloundra Road corridor that a hearing test fits into a normal week rather than needing to be planned around.
A hearing test takes roughly 45–60 minutes: a conversation about what's prompted the visit, painless diagnostic checks in a controlled setting, then plain-language results before you head home. No referral or obligation needed. Full process details: Comprehensive Adult Hearing Assessment.
Our Caloundra clinic provides diagnostic hearing assessments, tinnitus discussions, hearing aid fittings and ongoing device support for Meridan Plains residents.
Meridan Plains sits a short, direct drive along Caloundra Road from our clinic, and appointment times can be arranged around school pick-up or work schedules.

From Meridan Plains it's around an 8-minute drive along Caloundra Road directly into Bulcock Street — a single, easy-to-follow route. Appointment times can be discussed when booking, which is useful if you're coordinating a visit around school pick-up or working in a trip on behalf of an older relative.
The mix of households in Meridan Plains is genuinely broad — young families near the school precinct, long-time residents, and older relatives who've settled nearby to stay close to grandchildren. It's a suburb where booking a hearing test for mum or dad often comes from an adult child noticing something first, whether that's a missed comment at a family dinner or the television creeping up in volume. That's a common and entirely reasonable way to start the process, and it doesn't require the person themselves to have raised any concern beforehand.
Many Meridan Plains locals combine their hearing test with errands in Caloundra. The travel is straightforward, free parking is close to the clinic, and access is level from the walkway. Allow about an hour for your appointment. Bring your Medicare card, any GP referral, and your glasses if you wear them.
If hearing loss shows up in your results, our Qualified Audiometrist explains what it means in plain English. You can also ask about hearing aids, ongoing care, and Hearing Services Program support for eligible pensioners and DVA card holders. Book by phone or online whenever you are ready.
As a contracted Hearing Services Program (HSP) provider, we can offer subsidised hearing assessments to eligible Meridan Plains residents — Pensioner Concession Card holders and DVA Gold or White Card holders. A Commonwealth Seniors Health Card doesn't qualify on its own, so if you're arranging this for a relative, bring their card along and we'll confirm eligibility electronically at the appointment. Full details: Hearing Services Program guide.
