Julia Z. Sarant is an Audiologist based in Carlton, VIC. You’ll find her at 550 Swanston Street, Carlton. She helps people who are dealing with hearing and listening problems, from babies and kids to adults.
Hearing is more than just volume. At times, sound can be there but still feel hard to make sense of. Julia looks at how your ears and hearing system are working, and she helps sort out what’s behind the trouble you’re noticing. This can include common hearing loss, but also more specific issues where hearing signals don’t travel or get processed in the usual way.
Some people come in because they’re struggling with clarity, especially in busy places like shops, cafes, or family gatherings. Others notice problems with understanding speech, following conversations, or hearing details on the phone. Over time, that can affect confidence and everyday life, so it’s not just “a hearing test” and done.
Julia also supports families where infant hearing loss is a concern. Early checks matter because they can guide next steps sooner, and that can make a real difference for a child’s development and learning. When kids have difficulty hearing or processing sounds, the right support can help them keep up at kinder and school.
There are also cases where the issue isn’t only the ear, but the way sound gets processed. Julia works with people who may have auditory processing difficulties and conditions like Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder. These can change day to day, and it can be frustrating. She focuses on clear testing and practical advice that fits the situation.
For some adults, hearing changes sit alongside other health conditions. Julia sees people who are living with dementia, where communication can get harder and it can be tricky to tell what’s hearing-related and what’s memory-related. She also works with people affected by HIV/AIDS, where hearing and balance issues can sometimes come up. In many cases, careful assessment helps reduce guesswork.
Julia’s approach is calm and down to earth. She understands that hearing problems can feel stressful, especially when you’re not sure what’s causing them. She helps you move from “something’s not right” to a clearer plan, so you know what to do next.
