Experience Coordinated Medical Care Under One Roof
Our Northbridge clinic sits proudly within the Northbridge Medical Centre at 115 Sailors Bay Road. This unique location deliberately places your vital hearing care right alongside trusted General Practitioners, medical specialists, and allied health professionals under one convenient roof.
Principal audiologist Damian O’Connor and his staff consult here on selected weekdays. He maintains the absolute clinical independence that has defined WHAT The Hearing Centre for over 30 years while taking full advantage of this collaborative healthcare environment.
If you are looking for a highly accurate hearing test in Northbridge, Cammeray, Cremorne, or the surrounding lower North Shore, our clinic within the medical centre offers a superior level of coordinated healthcare close to home.
How Our Medical Centre Location Benefits Your Health
Because our Northbridge clinic sits directly within a bustling, working medical centre, it fundamentally shapes how your healthcare is seamlessly delivered.
Every single appointment is conducted personally by Damian O’Connor and his skilled colleagues. While Damian works closely alongside the medical centre team, your hearing care remains completely independent.
We have absolutely no manufacturer contracts, no restrictive sales targets, and no corporate affiliations. We expertly fit advanced hearing aids from all major global manufacturers, including Phonak, Oticon, Widex, ReSound, Beltone, Signia, Unitron, Bernafon, Starkey and more.
The Independent Clinical Advantage
Immediate Referral Pathways
If your GP identifies a potential auditory concern during a routine check-up, they can simply direct you straight to our clinic on the same floor
Rapid Medical Intervention
If we detect something during your hearing assessment that warrants further medical investigation, such as an active ear infection, your doctor is just down the hall.
Convenient Appointment Scheduling
You can easily coordinate your essential audiology visits to occur on the exact same day as your routine medical check-ups, saving you valuable time and travel.
Discover Extensive Hearing Services Available at Northbridge
Our Northbridge clinic offers a complete range of professional hearing services for adults and children, all delivered within the trusted Northbridge Medical Centre environment.
Pinpoint Your Exact Capabilities With a Diagnostic Assessment
We provide comprehensive hearing assessments taking approximately 60 minutes. Your assessment includes a full audiometric evaluation, speech discrimination testing, and a clear explanation of your diagnostic results. No GP referral is needed for self-funded private appointments, though patients seeing a GP in the building can easily arrange both visits on the same day.
Access Fully Funded Pensioner Services to Support Your Independence
We provide fully funded hearing assessments and digital hearing aids for eligible pensioners, veterans, and DVA card holders. Patients who are already visiting their GP at the Northbridge Medical Centre can handle all the necessary government voucher paperwork during the exact same trip.
Find the Perfect Hearing Aid Tailored to Your Medical Needs
We expertly fit all major hearing aid brands and styles, from incredibly discreet invisible-in-the-canal devices to highly powerful behind-the-ear models. If you have specific medical questions about how your new hearing aids might interact with other complex health conditions or medications, your GP is conveniently available in the very same building to provide coordinated advice.
Support Your Daily Comfort With Targeted Tinnitus Management
Tinnitus frequently has complex underlying medical causes beyond just hearing loss alone. We discuss viable management strategies suited specifically to your circumstances. Where your tinnitus may be connected to cardiovascular health, blood pressure medication, or other systemic factors, coordinating directly with your GP in the same building dramatically streamlines your further medical investigation.
Prevent Permanent Noise Damage With Custom Ear Protection
Hearing damage from excessive noise exposure is completely permanent. We provide custom-moulded ear plugs for musicians, swimmers, industrial workers, and lower North Shore commuters who are frequently exposed to occupational noise. We safely take your physical ear impressions directly during your appointment.
Minimise Your Downtime With Fast In-Clinic Device Repairs
We offer convenient same-day repairs and maintenance for minor technical issues. You can easily combine a quick maintenance visit or battery restock with another medical centre appointment to save an extra trip. We efficiently service hearing aids from all major brands, regardless of where they were originally fitted.
