Our eight-limbed octopus logo represents the eight fundamental principles of Savvy Audiology, our architectural structure to support person and family centred care.
Education. Empowerment. Awareness. Independence. Engagement. Collaboration. Respect. Inclusivity.
Person-centred care is central to all we at Savvy Audiology are trying to achieve. We believe in education and empowerment so our patients become well informed, perceptive and able to make good judgements.
For our patients, understanding the hearing loss, the consequences of the disability, the hearing device recommendation and the support network are important aspects of hearing healthcare which are often overlooked. Our clients are at the core of what we do as audiologists.
