How We Can Help

Unexpected events and mishaps can transpire, impacting even the most diligent audiology business proprietors. For example, a customer may allege that your procedures exacerbated their hearing issues, or a visitor could experience a slip and fall on your property. These scenarios can escalate rapidly, resulting in substantial legal costs. The Audiology and hearing team at Brown & Brown can also provide insurance cover for hearing therapists, hearing aid dispensers and wax management.

Insurance for Hearing Therapists – In your role as a hearing therapist, you play a crucial role in the rehabilitation of people who have acquired hearing loss. Therefore, adequate coverage can be invaluable, as offering advice may lead to customer allegations and claims.

Insurance for Wax Management – Insurance is crucial for wax management specialists, as it can provide valuable cover for audiologists or trained professionals specialising in ear wax removal techniques such as ear irrigation, manual instrumentation, and micro-suction.
