We care about your hearing health. We highly recommend annual hearing tests.
Our clinicans will start by asking you questions about your medical and hearing history. This is called the case history.

Aural/audiologic rehabilitation services will focus on adjusting to your hearing loss, making the best use of your hearing aids, exploring assistive devices that might help, managing conversations, and taking charge of your communication.

Sometimes it takes several discussions with your clinicians and with your family in order to understand the consequences of the hearing loss.
The clinician will review the different types of hearing aids available and how they work. This will assist you in understanding why the specific type of hearing aid was recommended specifically for you.
In Ontario, if you need hearing aids, you need a prescription for them. Audiologists and Physicians are the only health professionals that are allowed to prescribe hearing aids to a hearing impaired person.
