Our Process

Buying hearing aids online shouldn’t feel confusing or unsupported. From your first conversation to hearing clearly again, an audiologist guides you through every step.

Get in touch
  1. 01

    Purchase your hearing aid

    Know exactly what you want? Buy directly through our secure checkout. Not sure yet? Speak with our team first for honest, no-pressure advice. Every order includes a 45-day free trial and a full warranty — and because you’re backed by Lachlan Smith, a real, qualified audiologist, you get premium devices at genuinely great prices.

  2. 02

    Professionally prepared

    After you purchase, Lachlan has your hearing aids shipped to him in Melbourne, where he reviews and pre-programs them for you. He then organises a one-on-one call to explain what to expect, how to wear and pair your devices, and exactly what to do when they arrive. Tracking is provided the whole way.

  3. 03

    Receive your hearing aids

    Because Lachlan has already walked you through setup, you can start using your hearing aids the moment they arrive — no waiting and no extra appointments. If you need a hand getting them on or paired, he’s only a call away. Our clients love being able to hear clearly straight out of the box.

  4. 04

    Settling in & fine-tuning

    Once you’ve worn them in real life, Lachlan fine-tunes your hearing aids and helps you get everything set up just right. You’re never on your own: you get 24/7 support through our contact channels for any assistance or questions, plus a 3-year warranty for complete peace of mind.

Cared for by Lachlan Smith

Every device is prepared and fitted by Lachlan Smith, our founder and Senior Clinical Audiologist. With more than 15 years in clinical practice, a Master of Clinical Audiology and full membership of Audiology Australia, he has helped thousands of Australians hear clearly again. Because he knows every major brand inside out, his advice is genuinely independent, tied only to what helps you.

More about Lachlan

Two Melbourne clinics, close to home

Alongside our online care, Lachlan runs two local audiology clinics in Melbourne, headlined by Smith Eyes & Ears in Moonee Ponds, with a second location a short drive away. Book an in-clinic appointment for a face-to-face consultation, fitting or check-up. Same audiologist, same standard of care, either way.

Expert hearing care, without the clinic markup

During COVID, we discovered what a lot of Australians already suspected: getting hearing aids online is often easier, quicker and far more convenient than travelling back and forth to a clinic. What began as a necessity quickly became the way many of our clients now prefer to be looked after.

Remote care also keeps costs down. Without the overheads of a traditional shopfront model, we pass real savings on to you, while still delivering the same audiologist-led fitting, tuning and aftercare you would get in person.

And you are in genuinely expert hands. Lachlan is a long-established audiologist with deep connections across the industry, which means independent advice, access to every major brand, and devices tuned precisely to your hearing.

You may pay little or nothing with the HSP

The Australian Government’s Hearing Services Program (HSP) provides subsidised, and often fully covered, hearing aids and services to eligible Australians, including age pensioners, veterans and DVA cardholders. We’ll check your eligibility and handle the paperwork with you, so you receive every bit of support you’re entitled to.
