Hearing & Audiology Clinics in Singapore

What a hearing and audiology clinic provides

Hearing and audiology clinics assess hearing and balance, and provide hearing rehabilitation. Services typically include hearing tests for adults and children, assessment of hearing loss and tinnitus, ear-related dizziness evaluation, and the fitting, programming and aftercare of hearing aids. Audiologists also advise on hearing protection and communication strategies. It is worth attending if you notice difficulty following conversations, frequently ask others to repeat themselves, struggle in noisy places, experience ringing in the ears, or are concerned about a child’s hearing or speech development. Where an underlying medical ear problem is suspected, you may also be guided to an ear, nose and throat doctor.

How to choose a hearing and audiology clinic in Singapore

Look for clinics with qualified audiologists and, where medical ear conditions are involved, doctors registered with the Singapore Medical Council (SMC), including ENT specialists on the Register of Specialists. Consider the range of testing offered, experience with your age group, choice of hearing-aid options across brands, and quality of aftercare.

Getting there

Many private clinics cluster in the Orchard medical belt near Orchard MRT and the Novena health-city belt near Novena MRT, while audiology services are also available at restructured hospitals and some polyclinics across the island. Check each clinic’s own address, nearest MRT and parking before travelling.

Costs and financing

Care can be public and subsidised or private. A referral may support subsidised rates, and there are assistance schemes that help eligible residents with hearing-aid costs. Routine hearing tests and hearing aids are often paid out of pocket, while MediSave, MediShield Life and Integrated Shield Plans may apply to eligible medical procedures within set limits. Confirm fees and any subsidies with the clinic.

Common questions

How do I know if I need a hearing test?

Consider a test if you struggle to follow conversations, turn up the volume often, find noisy settings difficult, or have ringing in the ears.

Can children be tested?

Yes. Audiology clinics offer age-appropriate testing for children, which can support early identification of hearing and speech-related concerns.

Will I definitely need a hearing aid?

Not always. The right approach depends on the type and degree of hearing loss; an audiologist will discuss suitable options with you.
