October marks Small Business Month, and Exact Hearing Services is putting a spotlight on the vital role local enterprises play in community wellbeing. Recently, the Kingswood-based clinic was honoured with the 2025 Local Business Award for Health Improvement Services, celebrating its outstanding commitment to personalised, community-focused audiological care across the Penrith region.
Exact Hearing Services offers a full spectrum of hearing-health solutions for adults and children, including:
• Diagnostic hearing assessments
• Custom hearing-aid fittings
• Tinnitus evaluation and management
• Implantable hearing devices
• Professional ear-wax removal
• Industrial and recreational noise-protection services
Driven by a deep understanding of each client’s lifestyle and goals, the team at Exact Hearing ensures every patient achieves clearer hearing and enhanced quality of life.
Recent research is shining a spotlight on the hidden costs of untreated hearing loss, revealing a strong link to accelerated cognitive decline. As trusted hearing-care professionals, Exact Hearing Services plays a critical role in preserving long-term brain health by identifying and addressing hearing issues early.
Karen McKeown OAM, Member for Penrith, congratulated the practice on its achievement:
“It was a pleasure to visit the team at Exact Hearing Services to see how a small business can profoundly impact community health and wellbeing. Their work goes beyond improving hearing, it supports cognitive health and social engagement. I congratulate them on this well-deserved recognition.”
Alex Stelma, Director of Exact Hearing Services, added:
“Our team of experienced audiologists are committed to raising awareness about the crucial link between hearing loss and brain health. Our goal this Small Business Month is to encourage families to prioritise regular hearing checks. Better hearing really does lead to better brain health.”
