“Alison Hennessy is a very experienced audiologist with great knowledge in providing hearing devices. I was fitted with a fantastic pair of hearing aids. She is a very caring and gentle person who has a lot of empathy towards others. I highly recommend her, if you are interested in trying the best latest models on the market.”
Cynthia
Camberwell
“I’ve found the perfect audiologist in Alison. She is extremely professional & knowledgeable. When I first consulted her with my hearing loss & concerns, Alison introduced a range of hearing aids available & discussed the merits of each (including the price) to guide me to an optimum choice. The follow-up consultations are excellent: warm & patient: no problems/questions are too difficult or insignificant for her to find a solution.”
Ted
East Ringwood
“I have significant hearing loss and have used hearing aids for over 40 years. After trying several Audiologists without much success, I was referred to Alison 18 years ago. She listens carefully, makes precise adjustments, and provides the best possible hearing solutions. Alison is patient, understanding, and explains everything clearly. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking professional hearing care.”
