Eligibility
Am I eligible for a voucher through the Australian Government Hearing Services Program?

What is an Australian Government Services Program Voucher?

Hearing Aids
Do I have to pay for a hearing aid?
If you have a voucher under the Australian Government Hearing Services Program, Jervis Bay Hearing has a wide range of government-subsidised hearing devices available at no cost to you. An optional annual maintenance fee applies. If you choose a top-up hearing device with a higher level of technology and features, you will have to contribute towards the cost of that device.
Will a hearing aid restore my hearing back to normal?
Hearing devices benefit many people. However, no hearing device can restore your hearing to normal. The benefits depend on the degree of your hearing loss.
Will I become dependent on a hearing aid?
Do not be concerned about becoming dependent. A hearing device will help you communicate better and enjoy life more. Many people wonder how they ever managed without it.
Does it take long to get used to a hearing aid?
This will vary from person to person because every person is different. It takes some time to adjust to listening, and to hearing everything louder. Hearing devices amplify sounds. Following a conversation in a noisy place can be very difficult. With practice, listening can become an enjoyable experience again.
Would a top-up device benefit me?
Top-up devices have extra features. They are made in a range of styles and include the smallest hearing devices available on the market. These very small hearing devices can be difficult for some people to manage, or they may not suit the degree of your hearing loss. Your Audiologist will discuss with you the features and technology of the top-up hearing devices and give you professional advice as to how they may benefit you.
Where can I donate my hearing aid to be recycled?
You can deposit your aid at any Jervis Bay Hearing Centre to be recycled.
