About this Organisation

Australian Hearing is one of the largest hearing service providers in the world with a reputation for innovation and world-leading practices.

An Australian Government agency, Australian Hearing is dedicated to helping people manage their hearing impairment so they have a better quality of life.

Australian Hearing provdies free hearing services to eligible Australians at its 100 centres and 260 visiting sites around the counry.

The National Acoustic Laboratories (NAL) is the research division of Australian Hearing. Since 1947, NAL's research into hearing and noise has improved the ways in which people with hearing loss can be helped.

NAL's audiological procedures are widely recognised and have been adopted worldwide. NAL's acoustic test facilities include a range of special-purpose rooms that are used for acoustical research, testing and measurement covering the full range of human hearing.
