Established in 1952, Peninsula Hearing was founded by Alan Vines father of now owner and head Audiometrist Fiona Vines. Alan built and ran a successful business before Fiona joined Peninsula Hearing after completing her certificate 4 Diploma of Audiometry at R.M.I.T (Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology) in 1987 and has been a full member of the Australian College of Audiology (ACAud) since.
As a team, Alan and Fiona continued to build and work this successful practice together, desiring to deliver quality independent hearing services to the families on the Mornington Peninsula before Alan’s retirement transitioning the business to Fiona after 15 years of working together.
With an ever-expanding business and client base Fiona found the need to upgrade her clinic and did so in 1998 which saw the move to the current location at 18 Davey Street, Frankston.
Moving ahead to 2018, Taylah, the third generation of Peninsula Hearing has continued the family tradition after completing her Bachelor of Health Sciences and Masters of Audiology at La Trobe University in 2015. Daughter of Fiona, Taylah Vines-Chapple is a member of Audiology Australia (ASA) and joined the business on a part-time basis upon completion of her graduate qualification year post University. Fiona and Taylah now work side by side as Alan and Fiona did before them as highly trained, personable, independent and friendly health professionals serving the Mornington Peninsula and surrounding regions.
In June 2022, Nick Petersen (Audiologist) joined the company.
