Our clinic in Bendigo was established in 2003 by Bendigo locals, Dan and Danielle Bowles.
Our experienced and dedicated staff ensure every client receives individual treatment and continuity of care from the moment they contact us to managing their ongoing hearing needs. We use the latest hearing aid technology from the world’s leading hearing aid manufacturers and our Audiologists do not receive commissions based on hearing aid sales. We take pride in being able to assist our local community to improve their hearing.

Our Managers in Bendigo
Danielle Bowles,
Manager/Senior Audiologist
Bachelor of Science (Physics)/
Bachelor of Arts (Politics), Master of Clinical Audiology
Danielle grew up on a farm just outside of Bendigo. She has always had an interest in hearing health and well-being and was delighted when her Undergraduate studies at University gave her entry into Audiology. After working as an Audiologist for some years at a large company, Danielle wanted to have the flexibility to care for her clients in a more individualised way. This led Danielle and her husband Dan to establish Butterfly Audiology in 2003.
Even after 20+ years of working as an Audiologist, Danielle still loves making an important difference to people’s lives by improving their hearing. In her down time, she loves playing tennis, running, catching up with friends and exploring and traveling with her family. Where she can, Danielle enjoys doing volunteer work in Audiology and Sport. She is a committee member of the Bendigo Tennis Association and in 2017, was given the opportunity to do some volunteer work in South Africa testing children’s hearing which she found to be an amazing experience.
Dan Bowles,
Manager/Hearing Aid Technician
Born in the Central Victoria town of Dingee, Dan has called Bendigo home since he was 20. Dan loves the variety his role brings from administration, team management, fixing hearing aids, meeting new people and helping clients cope with their hearing problems. Trained as an electrician, Dan’s skills at fixing pretty much anything and everything come in very handy in the clinic. When Dan is not driving the everyday operations of the clinic, he’s spending time with his family, mountain biking, running and reminiscing about his glory days on the football field.

Verity Closter,
Senior Audiologist
Bachelor of Arts (Psychology/Journalism), Master of Clinical Audiology
Verity’s curiosity about following a career in Audiology came from her cousin who was born profoundly deaf and was the youngest cochlea implant recipient in South Australia. Verity was inspired by her cousin’s struggles, challenges and successes and from there decided that helping people with hearing problems was what she wanted to do. After hours, Verity enjoys watching sport, learning to cross stitch and sew, and travelling between the worlds of Disney, Harry Potter and Superheroes with her young daughter.

When Georgia isn’t at work she is busy playing professional netball, traveling and exploring new parts of the world, catching up with friends and family and disconnecting by listening to podcasts.
