Research-backed excellence in hearing care at Lions Hearing Clinic
The clinic network, owned and operated by Ear Science Institute Australia, is the only Australian clinic network supported by a medical research institute. All proceeds from hearing solutions directly fund world-renowned research into ear and hearing disorders, creating a sustainable cycle of care and innovation.
The strategic expansion includes clinics in Neutral Bay, Chatswood, Bondi, and Sydney CBD. Notably, the Neutral Bay and Chatswood clinics feature clinician and audiologist Kate Lau (pictured below), offering appointments in Mandarin and Cantonese to serve the area’s Chinese-speaking community.
Ear Science CEO Sandra Bellekom explains the expansion: “We have strong connections in research and with ENT surgeons in NSW and our research showed that there was demand for excellent evidence-based hearing care in NSW that was commission free and of the highest standard.”
Justin Langer endorses expansion, emphasises early intervention
Former Australian cricket player and coach Justin Langer endorses the clinic’s expansion, drawing from his personal experience with hearing-related issues. “With some good advice and treatment, I was good to go, and my message is that everything is treatable if you go get help,” says Langer, highlighting the importance of early intervention.
Healthcare professionals advise residents to watch for common warning signs: difficulty distinguishing speech despite hearing voices, fatigue after social interactions in noisy environments, social withdrawal, telephone communication challenges, and frequently asking others to repeat themselves.
