Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Elara Kestrel, Health and Medical Expert · ✓ Data verified August 2026 · 8 min read

Getting a hearing test or hearing aid fitting right the first time matters, especially for a child or an elderly parent who cannot easily describe what is wrong. Johannesburg's audiologists on this page have logged over 580 Google reviews between them, and every single one holds a rating of 4.9 or higher, an unusually tight cluster that means the choice really comes down to who specializes in your specific concern.

Short answer: Johannesburg's audiologists cluster tightly at the top: Dr Tami Mehl Audiology and Hearcare Plus both hold near-perfect ratings, while Shamim Ebrahim Inc. carries the largest review base at 210. Several practices specialize distinctly, from paediatric hearing to vestibular and balance rehabilitation, so match the practice to your specific need.

Health information disclaimer: This directory is informational only and not medical advice. Rankings reflect publicly available Google ratings and review volume, not clinical outcomes. Verify any practitioner’s credentials and registration with the relevant medical board before booking.

How we score

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the practice’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many patients have rated them, ranked against other Johannesburg audiologists. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 from over two hundred reviews carries more weight than a 5.0 from a smaller sample. Recency reflects how recently patients are still leaving reviews. No practice can pay to change these numbers.

What does an audiologist visit cost in Johannesburg? (2026)

Audiology costs in South Africa vary by the type of assessment, whether medical aid covers the visit, and the type of hearing aid if one is needed. We could not find a trustworthy, cited general pricing source that applies across these practices, so ask each practice directly what a hearing test and any recommended treatment will cost, and confirm what your medical aid covers.

Serving all of Johannesburg

The audiologists above serve Johannesburg from Parktown, Birnam, Sandhurst, Bedfordview and Mulbarton, with some running additional branches further afield. Searching for an audiologist near me? Every listing below shows a live phone number and directions so you can reach the closest option fast.

What to ask before you book an audiologist

Is the audiologist registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa?
Does the practice specialize in your specific concern, such as balance, tinnitus or paediatric hearing?
What does medical aid cover for the assessment and any recommended hearing aids?
How long does a full hearing test or diagnostic assessment typically take?
Is a written report provided, for example for a school or a referring doctor?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these audiologists?

We started from audiology practices in Johannesburg with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Which of these audiologists specializes in dizziness and balance issues?

Equilibrium Audiology specifically focuses on vestibular rehabilitation, dizziness and balance disorders, and reviewers describe coordinated care with ENT specialists for concussion-related cases.

Which practice is best for a young child’s hearing test?

Parklane Speech & Hearing has a strong track record with paediatric cases, and reviewers describe an unusually gentle approach with young children. Shamim Ebrahim Inc. also has experience across both adult and paediatric care.

The bottom line

Shamim Ebrahim Inc. is the safe default for its proven track record across adult and paediatric care, while Equilibrium Audiology and Parklane Speech & Hearing stand out for balance issues and young children specifically. Match the practice to your specific concern before booking.
