In busy, family-friendly suburbs like Chatswood and Roseville, hearing well isn’t just about volume—it’s about connection. From the classroom and the playground to work meetings and weekend catch-ups, clear hearing helps us learn, participate, and enjoy life. At The Audiology Place in Forestville—just a five-minute drive from Chatswood and Roseville—we provide gentle, evidence-based care for the whole family: safe ear wax removal, children’s hearing tests, and hearing aids fitted and supported with genuine, ongoing care.
Children’s hearing near Chatswood & Roseville: gentle, thorough, child-centred
Healthy hearing in childhood underpins speech, language, learning, and social development. If a child can’t clearly hear the teacher, friends, or family, small struggles can snowball into bigger challenges. At The Audiology Place, we’ve created a calm, child-friendly environment that helps little ones feel safe and curious, rather than anxious.
What we do for kids:
Age-appropriate testing: For babies and toddlers, we utilise objective measures such as OAEs and tympanometry. For preschoolers and school-aged children, we employ play-based hearing games and child-friendly pure-tone testing.
Holistic case history: We listen to your concerns—ear infections, speech delays, “selective hearing,” classroom difficulties—and tailor the assessment accordingly.
Clear next steps: You’ll leave with an easy-to-understand explanation of the results and a plan—whether that involves monitoring, a medical referral, classroom strategies, or hearing support.
When to book a children’s hearing test:
Frequent ear infections or suspected glue ear
Speech or language delays
Struggling to follow instructions, especially in noisy places
Turning the TV up, sitting close to the speakers, or saying “what?” more often
The teacher or GP recommends a check
Our goal is always the same: to provide early, accurate answers and practical support that helps your child thrive at home and in school.
Ear wax removal: safe, comfortable microsuction (no water syringing)
Blocked ears are one of the most common—and most easily fixable—reasons people struggle to hear well. If you’ve noticed muffled hearing, a full sensation, itchiness, or feedback with hearing aids, a wax blockage could be the culprit.
At The Audiology Place we use microsuction, a ssafe andgentle method performed under direct vision with a microscope and a fine suction tip. That means:
No water syringing
Precision and comfort—we can see exactly whatwe’ree doing
Suitable for most ears, including those with a history of perforations or ear surgery
Before your appointment, we may recommend using softening drops for a few days to make removal even smoother. During your visit, we’ll explain each step, assess your ear health, and ensure you leave with clear and comfortable hearing. Many people walk out saying it’s like switching their hearing back to “high-definition.”
A quick tip: avoid cotton buds—while tempting, they tend to push wax deeper and can irritate. Professional removal keeps your ears safe.
Adult hearing and hearing aids: independent, personalised, and evidence-based
If you’re turning the TV up, missing bits of conversation, or avoiding busy restaurants, it might be time to check your hearing. Our comprehensive adult assessments evaluate your hearing thresholds, middle-ear function, and your ability to manage speech in quiet and in noise. We then discuss your results in plain language and explore your options.
When hearing aids are appropriate, you’re in good hands. As an independent clinic, we’re not tied to any manufacturer. That means we can recommend a range of brands and styles, tailored to what suits your hearing, lifestyle, and budget. We fit devices using best-practice verification (including real-ear measurements) and provide ongoing follow-up, so your hearing aids continue to perform effectively in the real world—whether it’s Chatswood cafés, family dinners, work calls, or everything in between.
What to expect with hearing aids at The Audiology Place:
Choice across leading brands and technology levels
A fittingthat’ss verified to match your prescription (not guesswork)
Coaching on everyday use, cleaning, and simple troubleshooting
Follow-ups to fine-tune comfort, clarity, and noise handling
Access to accessories and connectivity (phones, TVs, laptops)
We also support pensioners and eligible veterans through government programs and can guide you through available rebates and funding pathways.
