Dani Tomlin is an audiologist based in Melbourne, VIC. Dani works with people of all ages who are dealing with hearing concerns, starting from little kids with infant hearing issues through to adults who are noticing changes over time.
As an audiologist, Dani focuses on how well the ear and the hearing system work, not just “hearing volume”. In many cases, the problem is more than one thing at once. That’s why Dani takes time to understand what’s been happening, and how it’s affecting day to day life.
Common reasons people see Dani include hearing loss, hearing issues related to infant hearing loss, and problems with ear infections like otitis and otitis media with effusion. Some clients come in because they’ve had repeated infections, while others are just not sure why sounds feel muffled or unclear.
Dani also looks after people with auditory processing difficulties. Auditory Processing Disorder can make speech harder to follow, even when hearing tests look “okay”. At times, it can show up as trouble understanding in busy places, missing parts of conversations, or struggling with listening tasks at school or work.
For a smaller number of people, Dani supports conditions like Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder. This can involve how the hearing system sends sound signals. When this is present, sounds may be inconsistent, and it can affect understanding from day to day.
Over time, Dani’s role often includes helping families and carers make sense of results and what they mean for everyday hearing. For parents of infants, that can mean clear next steps and guidance through the assessment process. For older children and adults, it can mean practical strategies and careful testing to find the most helpful way forward.
Dani brings experience in audiology and hearing assessment, working with patients who need support with diagnosis and management planning. Training and education are in audiology and hearing health, with an emphasis on testing and listening related health needs.
If you’re in Melbourne and you’re dealing with hearing loss, recurring ear infections, infant hearing questions, or auditory processing concerns, Dani is there to help you sort through the noise and get to what’s actually going on. Appointments are about understanding your situation, step by step, in a calm and straightforward way.
