Are You Receiving Truly Independent Hearing Care in Lane Cove?

Welcome to our Lane Cove clinic, the primary consultation location and head office of The Hearing Centre. Located right in the heart of the Lane Cove village shopping precinct, this is where principal audiologist Damian O’Connor has provided independent hearing care to the Sydney North Shore community for over 30 years.

At The Hearing Centre Lane Cove, we do not operate a rotating staff roster. When you visit our clinic, you see the exact same experienced audiologist every single time unless you require an urgent appointment. Think of our practice like a dedicated local family doctor. We focus on building a deep, long-term understanding of your unique hearing profile rather than treating your visit like a quick retail transaction.

As a fiercely independent practice free from manufacturer contracts, corporate sales quotas, and restrictive brand affiliations, we recommend acoustic devices chosen specifically for your auditory health rather than a corporate supplier relationship. We expertly fit advanced hearing aids from all major global manufacturers, including Phonak, Oticon, Widex, ReSound, Beltone, Signia, Unitron, Bernafon, Starkey, and more.

Our advanced testing and demonstrating allows us to let you verify the benefits of the hearing devices live in surround sound background noise. You can hear and decide the benefits to be gained from clearer hearing, even in noisy social groups.

We maintain active membership with Audiology Australia and serve as a highly trusted accredited provider under the Australian Government Hearing Services Program.
