Northern Rivers Audiology holds regular clinics in Woodburn at the Woodburn Health Clinic, 108 Richmond Street, serving Woodburn, nearby Evans Head, and the surrounding communities of Broadwater and Wardell. You will see Nick Robson, a university-trained audiologist with a Master of Audiology, and you will get independent advice with no sales targets and no manufacturer ties. For Evans Head and the wider lower Richmond Valley, the Woodburn clinic is the closest place to get qualified, honest hearing care without driving up to Lismore or across to Ballina.
Get in touch and we will find you a time on our next Woodburn clinic day.
A full hearing assessment in Woodburn takes 60 to 90 minutes. We test how you hear across the range of pitches, how well you make out speech when there is background noise, and whether amplification would genuinely help. For people in Woodburn, Broadwater, Wardell and Evans Head, it means a thorough assessment without the drive to Lismore or Ballina. You get a clear explanation of your results and an honest answer about what to do next. 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.
Blocked or muffled ears are one of the most common things we see, and we clear wax in Woodburn using microsuction, a gentle, dry method with no water flushed into the ear. The appointment is about 30 minutes, no referral is needed, and the relief is immediate. Having this available locally matters across the lower Richmond Valley, where for people in Broadwater, Wardell, Evans Head and Coraki the alternative has often meant travelling or waiting for a GP appointment. If there turns out to be no wax behind the problem, we will say so and point you the right way.
We fit hearing aids in Woodburn from across the major manufacturers rather than one preferred brand, because we are independent and have no supply agreements steering the choice. Eligible pensioners and veterans can receive fully subsidised aids through the Australian Government Hearing Services Program, which many people qualify for without realising. Fitting and the follow-up adjustments happen here in Woodburn, so your aftercare does not mean a trip out of town.
We fit custom-moulded earplugs in Woodburn, made to an impression of your own ear. They suit musicians, swimmers and people prone to ear infections, and anyone in farming, trades or industry around the valley who is exposed to loud noise day in, day out and wants protection that fits properly and lasts.
Our Woodburn clinic is the nearest independent hearing care for a wide stretch of the lower Richmond Valley. Evans Head in particular is only a short drive away, and as the largest town in the immediate area it is where many of our Woodburn patients travel from for hearing tests, wax removal and hearing aids. We also regularly see people from Broadwater, Wardell and Coraki. For all of these communities, the Woodburn Health Clinic means qualified, independent care without the trip to Lismore or Ballina.
We visit our Woodburn clinic on scheduled days, so the easiest way to be seen is to call and we will find you the next available time at the Woodburn Health Clinic.
