Hearing Aid or ALD fittings
We believe that the first few experiences a person has with his or her hearing aids determines the long term satisfaction with the device(s). Our aim is to keep your hearing aids out of the dresser drawer and in your ears!
We offer a large range of hearing aids and we will spend the time with you choosing what fits your lifestyle. All of our hearing aids come with a 55 day money back trial period and an allowance of up to five additional fine tuning appointments during this time.
Our work does not end there. We encourage our clients to have at least one, and generally more appointments, to ensure that you are satisfied with your purchase and your hearing is the best it can be with your new devices. We also encourage our clients to come back and visit us at least once a year for a thorough cleaning of your aids and to address any hearing needs at that time.
Rehabilitation
In partnership with Flinders University, Dr. Christopher Lind offers individual and group rehabilitation classes at Can:Do Hearing in Adelaide and Blackwood.
These appointments are specifically designed for hearing aid users who continue to feel that they struggle in day to day conversations. At the current time there is no fee for clients who received their hearing aids through us to have an appointment with Dr. Lind. We recommend that all clients bring along a conversation partner with them to the class.

Can:Do Hearing is a full service clinic for people from the age of 4 to 100+. To make an appointment simply ring the Adelaide clinic on 8100 8209 or the Blackwood clinic on 08 8178 3900. We also have a visiting site in Brighton at Townsend House where we see clients twice a month.
