don't know where to start?
If you’re unsure whether you qualify for the Federal Government Hearing Services Program (HSP), visit AIM Hearing Bundaberg with your Pensioner Concession Card or DVA card. Our reception team can quickly check your HSP eligibility through the official online portal and confirm your status within minutes.
The Australian Government Hearing Services Program provides eligible pensioners, veterans, and concession card holders with access to free or subsidised hearing assessments and hearing aids. If you are newly enrolled, Hearing Australia will send you a welcome pack outlining your benefits and available services under the program.
Once your eligibility is confirmed, we can immediately book you in for a comprehensive hearing test in Bundaberg. During your appointment, our audiologist will explain your results in clear, easy-to-understand language and discuss the most appropriate hearing treatment options, including whether you qualify for fully subsidised devices or upgraded hearing aid technology.
At AIM Hearing Bundaberg, we make accessing government-funded hearing services simple and stress-free. For more information about what to expect during your hearing consultation, please visit the Services section at the top of our website.
Can I get free hearing aids under the program or do i have to pay?
If your hearing loss meets the clinical criteria under the Australian Government Hearing Services Program (HSP), you are entitled to receive fully subsidised basic hearing aids at no cost. These devices are suitable for many people with straightforward hearing needs and are funded through the program.
However, many clients in Bundaberg choose to explore advanced hearing aid technology for improved performance in complex listening environments such as restaurants, social gatherings, and background noise. Premium features may include rechargeable hearing aids, Bluetooth connectivity, enhanced noise reduction, directional microphones, and speech-in-noise optimisation. Rechargeable models are particularly beneficial for individuals with dexterity challenges who find changing small batteries difficult.
Through the partially subsidised hearing aid scheme, eligible patients can upgrade to higher-level technology by paying a gap fee, while still receiving government support.
During your comprehensive hearing test at AIM Hearing Bundaberg, we will clearly explain your eligibility, compare fully subsidised and upgraded options, and outline costs and benefits. This ensures you can make an informed decision based on your hearing needs, lifestyle demands, and budget, with transparent, independent advice every step of the way.
what if i am with another provider and want to transfer to aim?
Many pensioners believe they cannot transfer their Hearing Services Program (HSP) provider or that they must wait until their Battery and Maintenance program expires before changing clinics. This is a common misconception. Under the Australian Government Hearing Services Program, you have the right to choose — and transfer to — the hearing care provider that best suits your needs at any time.
If you feel you would prefer independent, personalised care at AIM Hearing Bundaberg, the transfer process is simple and stress-free. There is no need for an uncomfortable conversation with your current provider — we manage the entire process for you.
If you are currently receiving services from another provider, including Hearing Australia Bundaberg, simply visit AIM Hearing and complete a short transfer form. We will contact the Hearing Services Program on your behalf to arrange the transfer. Your clinical records, service history, and the remaining balance of your Battery and Maintenance entitlement will seamlessly move across to our clinic.
The process is quick, straightforward, and fully supported.
If you’re looking for a hearing test in Bundaberg or want independent advice about your hearing aids, AIM Hearing Bundaberg is here to help — with choice, clarity, and patient-first care.
Assistive Listening Devices
At AIM Hearing Bundaberg, we provide a range of high-quality Assistive Listening Devices (ALDs) designed to improve hearing clarity in challenging listening environments such as noisy restaurants, group conversations, meetings, television viewing, and phone calls. ALDs can be used independently or alongside hearing aids to enhance speech understanding and reduce background noise interference.
Our experienced hearing care team will assess your communication needs and recommend the most suitable personal hearing technology solutions, including remote microphones, TV streamers, amplified phones, and Bluetooth accessories.
Please note that Assistive Listening Devices are not covered under the Australian Government Hearing Services Program (HSP) and require an out-of-pocket investment.
To help you make an informed decision, we offer in-clinic demonstrations in our reception area, where you can trial working ALDs in real-world conditions. This hands-on experience allows you to evaluate sound quality, ease of use, and overall benefit before purchasing.
If you are looking to improve speech clarity and hearing performance beyond standard hearing aids, AIM Hearing Bundaberg can guide you toward the right assistive listening solution for your lifestyle.
