Recycled Sound

Recycled Sound helps a community program collect, service and redistribute donated hearing aids.

Working hearing aids are often replaced long before they fail. Recycled Sound gives volunteers and audiologists a fast way to catalogue those donated devices, so they can be serviced and passed on to people who cannot afford to buy their own.

IDENTIFY A DEVICE FROM A PHOTO
Point the camera at a hearing aid and the scanner reads the brand and model from the device itself, then pre-fills what it can. An audiologist confirms or corrects every field before anything is saved. The app assists the expert; it never replaces them.

CAPTURE THE DETAILS THAT MATTER
Record the specifics a clinician needs in order to refit a device: style, tubing, battery type and size, receiver, dome, programming interface and technology level.

BUILT FOR A REAL PROGRAM
Recycled Sound is used by Rotary Club of Springvale City volunteers and by clinical partners at Arches Audiology, supporting refugees, asylum seekers and low income residents in Greater Dandenong, Victoria.

Recycled Sound does not diagnose, treat or provide advice about hearing loss. All device assessment and fitting is carried out by a qualified audiologist.
