Ear Science Institute Australia
Established in 2001, Ear Science Institute Australia's ultimate goal is to find a cure and develop new treatments for people with hearing loss for hearing loss.
Vision and mission
Ear Science Institute Australia is the only national research institute that is dedicated solely to ear and hearing research, with the aim of providing treatments for today and cures for tomorrow.
An experienced team of audiologists, clinicians, researchers, scientists and surgeons all work in synergy to provide hearing care led by science through the research institute itself, as well as the Lions Hearing and Ear Science Implant Clinics.
How Ear Science Institute Australia can help
Through its Lions Hearing Clinics in Western Australia and New South Wales, as well as Ear Science Implant Clinics, the institute provides leading hearing care by:
- Providing hearing treatments through Lions Hearing Clinic and Ear Science Implant Clinic (registered agents for the NDIS to support individuals with hearing services)
- Developing resources and training for audiology students, GPs and surgeons
- Arranging Lions Healthy Hearing pop-ups for local community groups and events, providing free hearing checks and hearing health information; and
- Bringing the Healthy Hearing Outback team and hearing services to remote communities in the Pilbara, in conjunction with Puntukurnu Aboriginal Medical Service (PAMS).
As a not-for-profit organisation, Ear Science Institute Australia ensures funds generated by hearing care are reinvested back into world-class medical research.
