Is hearing loss exhausting? Yes of course it is! Patients often speak about the hearing fatigue.

Continual visual contact may be causing Zoom fatigue for many, but this is nothing new to people with hearing loss. It is how we hear!

What causes tinnitus?
Tinnitus isn’t a condition on its own — it’s a symptom.
Common causes include: • Hearing loss
• Noise exposure
• Ear conditions (such as wax blockage)
• Stress and fatigue
• Certain medications
A hearing assessment is often the first step to understanding what’s contributing to tinnitus and how it can be managed.
Reach out and make contact.
Tinnitus is treatable, ring us on 4441 8886 or 4455 6000.

At Jervis Bay Hearing Centre, we’re committed to helping individuals navigate their tinnitus journey with evidence‑based guidance, practical tools, and personalised care. Whether tinnitus is new, long‑standing, mild, or disruptive, no one has to manage it alone. Tinnitus Week is an opportunity to learn more, share experiences, and encourage early conversations about hearing health.

Together, we can create a calmer, more informed pathway forward for anyone living with tinnitus. Make contact if Tinnitus is bothersome or distressing for you. Tinnitus is treatable. 44418886 or 4455 6000 or support@jervisbayhearingcentre.com.au

NEWSFLASH # # # Public Funding Now Available for Cochlear Implants: A Milestone for Hearing Health in the Shoalhaven
Vincentia, NSW — 21 January 2026

Jervis Bay Hearing Centre is pleased to announce we have public funding available for cochlear implants, marking a transformative step forward in improving access to life-changing hearing technology for people in the Shoalhaven and surrounding regions.

This new funding pathway greatly reduces the financial barriers that have historically prevented eligible adults and children from accessing cochlear implant services. With support now available through public health channels, more individuals with significant hearing loss can receive timely assessment, technology, and ongoing rehabilitation.

“This is a major win for our community,” said Alison Chiam, Principal Audiologist at Jervis Bay Hearing Centre. “Cochlear implants restore connection, confidence, and communication. Public funding means more people can benefit—sooner, and without the overwhelming financial burden.”

Cochlear implants are advanced medical devices designed for individuals who receive limited benefit from conventional hearing aids. They stimulate the auditory nerve directly, offering clearer access to speech and environmental sounds and significantly enhancing quality of life.

What This Means for the Community
• Improved access to comprehensive cochlear implant evaluations
• Reduced out-of-pocket costs for eligible patients
• Expanded local support, including mapping, rehabilitation, and long-term care right here in your local community. No more costly and time consuming trips in busy traffic to Sydney.

Jervis Bay Hearing Centre will provide full cochlear implant services, from assessment through rehabilitation, ensuring a streamlined and supportive experience for each recipient.

“We’re excited to walk this journey with our clients and their families,” Ms Chiam added. “Hearing connects us—and everyone deserves the chance to reconnect.”

Appointments & Enquiries:

Individuals interested in learning more about candidacy, referrals, or the funding process are encouraged to contact Jervis Bay Hearing Centre. We have discovery days planned for February in Vincentia, Nowra and Ulladulla. Ring us on 4441 8886 or 4455 6000 or email Support@jervisbayhearingcentre.com.au www.jervisbayhearingcentre.com.au

“We learned of Hayden’s hearing loss the summer of 2020. He had always been a calm, happy baby, but we suspected something was wrong when he didn’t react to fireworks going off in our neighborhood on the Fourth of July. He had passed his newborn hearing screen at the hospital and there is no f...
