PENINSUL A SENIORS
HELPING YOU WITH ALL YOUR HEARING HEALTH NEEDS Peninsula Hearing Aid Centre was established in 1952, founded by Alan Vines, father of the now owner and director of the business, Fiona Vines. Alan built and ran a successful business before youngest daughter Fiona joined the practice after completing her Certificate 4 Diploma of Audiometry at R.M.I.T. (Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology) in 1987. As a team, Alan and Fiona continued to build and work this successful practice together, desiring to deliver quality independent hearing services to families of the Bayside and Mornington Peninsula regions before Alan’s retirement transitioning the business to Fiona after 15 years working together. Sadly, Alan passed away in 2021. Moving ahead to 2018, Taylah has continued the family tradition by being the third generation to join Peninsula Hearing after completing her Bachelor of Health Sciences and Masters of Audiology at La Trobe University, Melbourne in 2015. Since, Taylah has strived further in the hearing industry becoming a state sales manager for Victoria and Tasmania, and while this role is busy and demanding she still on occasion works as a clinician at Peninsula Hearing.
As the practice continues to be busy, the decision has been made to bring on board another audiologist to help Fiona and Taylah. After much consideration, Peninsula Hearing is pleased to welcome Nick Petersen. Nick holds the same values as Fiona and Taylah in offering personal hearing care. Nick has worked locally on the Mornington Peninsula for 15 years, helping people with their hearing needs. Nick was so excited to join Peninsula Hearing as he is all about offering the most personalised service to clients, the fact that Peninsula Hearing is an independent family-owned business is the perfect environment for him. We welcome all our existing clients and all new clients to come into our clinic and allow Nick, Fiona and Taylah to help you with all your hearing health needs.
