Telscreen II

A free hearing check is just a phone call away - call 1800 826 500

Telscreen is Australian Hearing's new national telephone service that allows you to take a free hearing screening over the phone, any time, anywhere in Australia.

Based on extensive research, Telscreen has been developed by the National Acoustic Laboratories (NAL) in conjunction with Australian Hearing and is one of the most sophisticated telephone hearing services in the world.

Telscreen is a self check of hearing disability via the telephone and is not a replacement for a face-to-face hearing screening carried out by a qualified clinician. It should not be taken as medical advice. Your results from Telscreen may vary, depending on whether you are in a quiet or noisy environment. Telscreen is best carried out in a quiet environment.

Australian Hearing is introducing Telscreen to improve identification of hearing loss within the community and raise awareness of hearing loss as a significant health issue. National Acoustic Laboratories (NAL) will conduct research into the effectiveness of Telscreen and will continue to monitor its quality and use data for further research into hearing loss.

Australian Hearing is keen to provide accessible services that help screen for hearing disability. Telscreen makes hearing screenings easier and more accessible, especially to those in rural and remote parts of the country. We are hopeful that Telscreen will act as the trigger for you to take the next step for your hearing needs.

Telscreen is backed by Australia's most extensive on-the-ground service via the Australian Hearing network of more than 92 centres and 220 visiting sites.

Australian Hearing provides hearing services to people who are eligible to receive services under the Australian Government Hearing Services Voucher Program and Community Service Obligation.

If you are not eligible for Australian Hearing's services and you have concerns about your hearing, we recommend that you speak to your doctor who can advise you on hearing services in your local area.
