When it comes to hearing health, Alison is all ears – literally and professionally!

With a background in psychology and a fascination for how the ear works, Alison Collins’ path into audiology was destined to be.

“I did a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and wanted a role where I could really help others.

“I then attended a hearing science class and was just so fascinated with how the ear worked… from that point I knew that’s where I wanted to be.”

She went on to complete a Master of Audiology, and later earned a PhD in Audiology, specialising in paediatric middle ear disease.

Soon after starting her career, she welcomed her daughter and then her son, who would go on to face hearing challenges of his own.

“As a mum and audiologist, I saw the impact firsthand, and that fuels my work every day.”

Now the founder of Peak Hearing Services, Alison provides hearing tests for all ages, auditory processing assessments, hearing aids, workplace checks, and wax removal. Pensioners can access free services, and thanks to BHP, local children receive free hearing screenings.

“Hearing loss isn’t all or nothing…Just like glasses, you might still hear, but support makes all the difference.”

Take the first step – because life’s better when you hear it all!
