Hearing Clinic Burlington

In addition to hearing tests we carry a full range of hearing related products which can include hearing protection to hard of hearing specific products such as amplified phones, loud alarm clocks to hearing aids and more.

Hearing Aids

Here you will find all the brands of hearing aids available to you, not just a few.  We work with all the major manufacturers including Bernaphone, Signia, Widex, Phonak and more.  We don’t believe in restricting your choice in any way so you will also find all models of behind the ear and in the ear hearing aids.  We will work with you to find the best hearing aid for your specific hearing loss needs, needed features and of course, your budget.  We also work with WSIB, insurance companies and offer financing to make sure you get the best hearing aid for your needs.

Hearing Protection

If you are exposed to loud noise on a continual basis we believe you should protect your hearing before you are here looking for a hearing aid.  We offer a wide range of hearing protection options including the revolutionary QuietOn electronic noise cancelling ear plugs.  No matter the environment or noise level we have something to protect your hearing.  We can even provide a baseline hearing assessment and recommend a yearly test to make sure your hearing protection is working for you.

Tinnitus Relief  and Therapy  – Ringing In Ears

Sadly there is no cure for tinnitus, however with therapy you can reduce it’s impact in your life.   Our clinic has developed a comprehensive tinnitus therapy plan that takes a wholistic approach to the ringing in your ears to help lessen it.   You can also read more about tinnitus in our What is Tinnitus, Causes of Tinnitus, Tinnitus Remedies & Relief and Tinnitus Management sections,

Most don’t realize the scope of an audiologist?  They not only help in the assessment of your audiogram (from your hearing test) and assess your hearing loss, if there is any, but they also are trained for pediatrics, central auditory processing disorders, hearing sensitivities (Hyperacusis and Misophonia), balance issues amongst other hearing and ear related issues.

While visiting our Burlington clinic our Audiologist and clinicians will complete a hearing assessment.  They will use this audiogram test to determine if you have hearing loss and if you do recommend hearing solutions depending on what the tests and and overall health questions reveal.  For some, it may be a simple ear wax cleaning or for some, it might be Tinnitus therapy, and others may benefit from or require hearing aids.  Or your hearing may be good and nothing is recommended but to keep an eye on it and have follow up hearing tests to monitor your hearing health.  They may also recommend hearing protection if you are routinely exposed to a noisy environment such as a manufacturing, construction etc.

Our knowledgeable and friendly staff will be with you and walk you through every step of your assessment.

We also support your new hearing aid through step by step setup as well as being your source for batteries, care and repair.

HEARING AID ADVICE

Navigating the way to the right hearing aid for you isn’t easy.  Our hearing implement specialists, clinicians and audiologist are here to advise you.   Not only do you have the choice of brand, features, pricing, there is also which type of hearing aid do you want, invisible, behind the ear, in the ear.  There are so many choices and it can be overwhelming.  This is where we step in. With a few questions about your lifestyle and budget and combining that with your hearing assessment our clinicians can recommend your best options from several brands to ensure you get a quality hearing aid that will serve you best.

YOUR HEARING AID FITTING

Once you and our Burlington clinician have choosen the best hearing aid to fit your hearing loss needs, lifestyle and budget they will “prescribe” them by ordering them from the manufacturer.  Once they arrive they will programme and custom fit the hearing aids to your specific hearing loss.   A custom fit sounds like they will be adjusting how the hearing aid fits in your ear, but it’s actually something different.  A custom fit is adapting the hearing aid to amplify the right frequencies to balance out your specific hearing loss. In addition to this custom fitting we also measure that we have the correct settings with what is called a Real Ear Measure.   Did you know that only 30% of hearing clinics perform Real Ear Measuring!  It ensures the hearing aid accurately matches your hearing loss in a real world application by measuring the sound amplified infront of a speaker which plays different hearing scenarios.

What does this mean to you and why do we go this extra step?  It means your hearing aids will be more accurate adapted to compensate to your hearing loss in real world hearing scenarios.  Think of it as the equivalent of having glasses where the lenses match your exact prescription and aren’t just a best guess of what your vision needs.  The better performance of your hearing aids ensures your are more satisified with your hearing aids and will be more likely to wear and enjoy them.  Wearing your hearing aids regularly is a large obstacle to overcome by many who are prescribed hearing aids.  If you go a prolonged time without wearing them, once you do decide to wear them again the difference in volume can be a bit overwhelming and only bolsters the decision to stop wearing them.  So ensuring you are satified with your hearing aids is critical to ensuring prolonged use and maximum benefit.
