Northern Rivers Audiology holds regular clinics in Alstonville at 61 Main Street, with access via Daley Street, serving Alstonville and the surrounding areas of Wollongbar and Goonellabah. You will see Nick Robson, a university-trained audiologist with a Master of Audiology, offering independent advice with no sales targets and no manufacturer ties. We also see people travelling from across the wider Ballina area who are looking for an independent audiologist.
Get in touch and we will find you a time on our next Alstonville clinic day.
Our Alstonville hearing assessments take 60 to 90 minutes and cover the full picture: how you hear across different pitches, how well you understand speech in noisy settings, and whether a hearing aid would help. Serving Alstonville, Wollongbar and Goonellabah, and within easy reach of Lismore and the wider Ballina area, it is a genuinely independent option for people who want an assessment with no commercial stake in selling them a device. You get your results explained clearly and an honest recommendation. The same assessment is also the starting point for tinnitus support, so if you have ringing or buzzing in your ears, this is where we get to the bottom of it.
If an ear feels blocked or full, it is usually wax, and we remove it in Alstonville using microsuction, a gentle, dry technique that is safer than syringing and suitable for most people. Appointments take about 30 minutes, no referral is required, and you walk out with the ear clear. People come to us in Alstonville from Wollongbar, Goonellabah and across the plateau, as well as from around Ballina, for professional wax removal done by an audiologist rather than left to guesswork. If there is no wax to remove, we will tell you honestly and suggest what to look at instead.
We fit hearing aids in Alstonville from across all the major brands, chosen for what suits you rather than dictated by a manufacturer agreement, because we are independent. Eligible pensioners and veterans can access fully subsidised devices through the Australian Government Hearing Services Program, and we are happy to check your eligibility. Fitting includes proper follow-up tuning, handled locally, so you are not posting a device away or driving to a city clinic when it needs adjusting.
We fit custom-moulded earplugs in Alstonville, shaped from an impression of your ear for a fit that stays put and protects properly. They suit musicians, swimmers and people who get recurrent ear infections, and workers exposed to loud noise in trades and industry across the plateau and the coast.
Our Alstonville clinic on Main Street is well placed for the plateau and the surrounding district. Wollongbar is just minutes away, and Goonellabah, on the Lismore side, is an easy drive, so we see people from both regularly for hearing tests, wax removal and hearing aids. We also see people from across the wider Ballina area who are specifically looking for an independent audiologist rather than a chain, and are happy to make the short trip up to Alstonville for it. If this is your nearest clinic, call us and we will find you a time on one of our clinic days.
We visit our Alstonville clinic on scheduled days, so the easiest way to be seen is to call and we will find you the next available time at 61 Main Street. Note that access is via Daley Street.
