Telex Hearing Centre Trusted Hearing Services for the Central Coast Telex Hearing Care has been providing quality hearing services throughout the Central Coast for over 30 years. Locally owned and operated, this trusted family- run business of three generations over the years, has a wealth of experience bringing a strong passion for helping people to hear better and regain their joy in life. Owner and Hearing Care Professional Lindsay Gillespie states, “Nothing makes my job more satisfying than seeing a client leave the office with a smile on their face, as they experience sounds they haven’t heard for a long time.” Lindsay’s team of honest and ethical hearing care professionals provide a range of hearing services. From full hearing assessments to workers compensation and DVA or Pensioner services under the Hearing Services Program, Telex Hearing Care is the one-stop shop for all your hearing needs. Three generations working together: Ben Gillespie, Lindsay Gillespie & Keith Gillespie Hearing Assessments Quick hearing health checks and thorough full hearing assessments are available to ascertain your needs. These easy, pain-free checks and assessments can take between half an hour to an hour and enable the hearing care professional to fully understand your unique situation. Hearing Devices and Accessories Should you require hearing devices, you can choose to trial devices yourself obligation- free, before deciding to purchase them. Telex Hearing Care professionals will only recommend devices they have trialled and tested, so they are certain that they are only recommending quality hearing solutions. A range of devices and assistive listening remote controls are available for all needs and budgets. If you decide to proceed with hearing aids, you will be taken through all your options to discuss what device would be best suited to your clinical needs, lifestyle requirements and budget. If you are eligible to receive Government assistance with devices, you will receive information regarding your entitlements and be assisted with the application process. 8 S E NI O R S O N T H E C OAS T As Telex Hearing Care is completely independent, that is, not owned by a hearing aid manufacturer, they can offer you a complete range of hearing devices and assistive listening devices from the best manufacturers. This ensures you get the latest technologies as they become available to the market, such as the advertised WIDEX EVOKE™ – the world’s first real-time machine learning hearing device, enabling users to fine-tune their own hearing in real-life via an intuitive, easy to use smartphone App. Free services for DVA Card holders and Pension Concession Card holders As part of the Department of Health, the Hearing Services Program (HSP) offers free rehabilitation services to eligible pensioners and veterans. BLUE CentreLink Concession card holders, DVA Gold Card and DVA White Card holders (hearing specific), can apply to HSP for vouchers. In some cases, Veterans may also benefit from additional equipment or assistive listening devices and Telex Hearing Care can advise you about whether this may be helpful to you.
