Hear our story

The Little Hearing Co. is proud to be 100% locally owned and operated.

With a combined 40 years experience working in the hearing care industry, we had seen many small providers being bought up by BIG hearing aid chains. There is more to audiology than just selling hearing aids. Hearing matters from the time we are learning to speak, through our education, our work-life and into retirement.

That's when we decided to create a comprehensive family-owned hearing service, for your whole family.

We have two locations:

80 Florence street, Wynnum QLD 4178
65 Gilston Street, Keperra, QLD 4054 (opening June 2024)
