Our Story
From humble beginnings to becoming today’s most loved hearing aid specialist in Canberra – it’s a
journey of Hebin Henry Kallikkadan, founder of Empower Hearing
With experience assessing more than 10,000 people with hearing concerns and personally fitting over 1,000 pairs of hearing devices, Hebin Kallikkadan, founder of Empower Hearing, saw the life-changing difference a complete approach could make — one that includes technology, training, and human connection. Drawing on his 17+ years as a diagnostic and hearing rehabilitation specialist, he founded Empower Hearing in 2024 to empower the clients in their hearing journey.
From day one, the focus has been on providing more than just electronic hearing aids. We believe that optimal hearing support comes from a mix of tailored devices, practical communication strategies, education, and long-term support. Empowerment is not just in our name — it’s in every appointment we offer.
Since our start in the ACT, Empower Hearing has grown to serve a wide range of communities across Canberra and regional NSW. We partner with medical centres, GPs, and allied health services to deliver high-quality, accessible hearing care — including free* hearing tests for eligible clients funded by the Hearing Services Program and bulk-billed* Medicare Hearing tests with a valid GP referral for concession cardholders.

A Focus on Empowerment
Empower Hearing was created with one purpose: to help people hear better, live better, and connect with confidence. Our approach is deeply client-focused and centred around empowerment through education and support.
We help clients manage their hearing, hearing loss, and hearing aids, while providing training on how to use and benefit from hearing aids. We offer practical communication strategies and also support people with tinnitus, not just through devices, but also through behavioural and sound-based interventions. All this helps us offer a complete hearing care journey to our clients.
