About us



Making premium hearing aids more accessible

Blamey Saunders hears was founded by Dr Elaine Saunders and Professor Peter Blamey to remove obstacles to good hearing health. Their innovations have already helped improve the lives of thousands of Australians.

By selling direct to the public, Blamey Saunders hears are able to offer premium-quality hearing aids for less than half the price you’d expect to pay in Australia. Our behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids are user-friendly and contain Australian technology designed to provide you with consistently natural, comfortable and clear sound. We created the award-winning IHearYou® system to give you the option to personally adjust your Blamey Saunders hearing aids to your unique listening environments with your computer, tablet or smartphone. There’s no need to visit an audiologist for fine-tuning, unless you choose to.

Our hearing technology can be purchased online or from our Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane clinics, and it’s backed by free internet and phone based support from our expert telehealth team. It’s never been easier to achieve hearing health. If you’d like to take control of your hearing today, start by taking our free online hearing test, or contact us.
