Karen Short

Senior Audiologist

Hi! I’m Karen. I am honoured to be a part of an amazing team of professionals at All Ears & Speech who are passionate, supportive and love to have fun! I completed my Masters of Audiology in 2020 at Flinders University, prior to this I completed the Bachelor of Medical Science in 2018. I have always had a love for science, but I was most passionate about helping people which is what led me to Audiology! 

Audiology allows me to help adults and children communicate with their loved ones through the gift of sound, something that is incredibly rewarding. I believe there is no better feeling than knowing you have positively affected another person or family’s life! 

I am most passionate about working with children and their families and making them feel empowered and supported in meeting their child’s listening and communication goals. Most importantly, I want children to feel comfortable, confident and to have lots of fun when they come in!   

When I am not at All Ears and Speech, I love spending time with my family and friends, doing Pilates, trying out new cafes/restaurants, and spending time at the beach!

Do I need a referral to see an audiologist?

You don’t need a referral to see an audiologist, although you may be able to access Medicare rebates when referred by an Ear, Nose & Throat Specialist, a Neurologist, or if your child has a Team Care Arrangement. Alternatively, audiology sessions may be claimable from your private health provider. If you have access to funding through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) we can provide services to self-managed and plan-managed clients.
