Hear care is an audiology practice owned by Nicolene Prinsloo which specialises in hearing tests, screening, and hearing aid fittings. The organisation goes out to old age homes and school outreach programmes for hearing tests, screening and early detection in children and the elderly.

The practice has been operating in the South for the past 10 years and the institution appreciates its clients who have continued to give them good referrals over the past years.

According to Hear Care practice manager Mikela da Rocha, their services are unique because they work with an ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialist that helps them in terms of referrals as most clients find it pleasant to receive multiple services under one practice.

Over the years several home and school visits have strengthened the organisation’s dominance as it is able to visit clients who fail to drive to their premises.

Hear Care also specialises in hearing protection and custom earplugs for people who work in noisy environments such as musicians or factories.
