Speech Therapy Sessions for Adults with Hearing Loss

Improve Your Speech, Voice & Communication

The unique thing about Voice Science™ is that we only work alongside adults.

We choose to focus on relevant and appropriate therapy for adults. You should feel affirmed in sessions and the first step for that is to enter an adult-focused clinic.

And to top it off, as speech pathologists we’re qualified to target multiple goals that you might have for your communication.

The Speech Pathology Assessment for Adults with Hearing Loss is the first step.

Our clinic is based in Collins Street – easy to access and perfect if you’re based in the city or working from the city. We also provide Australia-wide and international services via our cutting edge virtual clinic.

We are one of the few speech pathology clinics that offers speech therapy in Melbourne that is structured for adults solely. This makes our clinic the perfect spot if you are looking for a confidence boosting spot to work on your social communication. All of our approaches are geared to adults. You don’t want to visit a clinic with lots of toys, kids picture books and a paediatric focus if your goals are real life adult needs!

Speech Therapy for Hearing Loss in Adults

Our Speech Therapy Assessment for Hearing Loss is suited to adults with hearing loss managed by hearing aids or cochlear implants and is your first step to addressing your concerns.

Our speech pathologists will investigate your speech pronunciation, voice and social communication.

You’re welcome to bring an Auslan interpreter to your initial assessment session and sessions thereafter. This is optional, however, according to your preference.

This session is the chance for you to share your global communication concerns with the speech pathologist who will prepare a comprehensive consultation report designed to identify core strategies to be addressed with you in ensuing social communication therapy sessions.

We work with NDIS Self Managed and NDIS Plan Managed clients.

Sessions are billed according to NDIS pricing.

Please contact our clinic first for preparation of your service agreement prior to commencement.

Rebates may be available for these sessions.
