SYDNEY HEARING CLINIC OPENS TO OFFER SYDNEYSIDERS PREMIUM QUALITY, AWARD WINNING HEARING AIDS AT HALF THE PRICE

Australian hearing aid company Blamey Saunders hears has just opened a clinic in Sydney, giving Sydney-siders living with hearing loss in-person access to premium quality, award winning hearing technology at less than half the expected price.

By cutting out the middle-man, Blamey Saunders hears offers the best hearing aids available on the market at a fraction of the cost to its competitors - welcome news for older Australians who are under increasing pressure to be financially independent while managing their growing health needs.

“Hearing loss is generally experienced from the age of 50, a time when Australians are under increasing pressure to be financially independent through self-funded retirement. Overpriced hearing aids are often shunned as a luxury item, but the cost of untreated hearing loss is much higher,” Blamey Saunders hears founder and managing director, Dr Elaine Saunders said.

“We are expanding into Sydney in response to growing demand for our premium quality hearing aids. We are passionate about providing our hearing aids, which utilise revolutionary Australian technology found in the bionic ear, to deliver natural and comfortable sound at a price much more affordable for more Australians.”

Blamey Saunders hears Sydney clinic offers comprehensive and multi-dimensional hearing tests ahead of hearing aid fitting and tuning. This complements blameysaunders.com.au, which offers Australians the option to take a scientifically-validated hearing test and buy Blamey Saunders hearing aids online.

Additionally, in a world first, Blamey Saunders gives users the option to fully tune their hearing aids anywhere in the world via their computer or smartphone with the award-winning IHearYou® system. Australians previously had to visit their suburban audiologist if their hearing aids required tuning, but Blamey Saunders hears customers can receive expert help, over the internet, from the expert service team, in the comfort of their own homes or on the go.

Blamey Saunders founder and technical director Professor Peter Blamey said: “We’ve developed revolutionary technology that makes our hearing aids simple and easy to use. We’re also making hearing aids more accessible to the estimated 4 million Australians living with hearing loss.

“The advanced core sound processing software in our hearing aids gives users the chance to hear like they are decades younger, and to actively participate in the world around them.”

Blamey Saunders hears won the overall 2015 Anthill ‘Cool Company’ Award and it won Good Design Australia’s 2015 Inaugural Good Design Award for Social Innovation.

Dr Elaine Saunders is an award-winning businesswoman, audiologist and social entrepreneur who has worked as an advocate for hearing loss in hearing research and technology for 40 years. Saunders received the 2015 BioMelbourne Network’s inaugural Women in Leadership Award and is one of Australia’s Most Influential Women 2015. 

Professor Peter Blamey is an award-winning inventor, author and leader in the field of hearing.
