About hearing and audiology clinics
Audiologists and hearing instrument practitioners across Canada test hearing, help people understand the results, and fit and adjust hearing aids. Many clinics also help with ear wax, tinnitus and hearing protection, and some work with children. Most clinics work by appointment, and you can usually book a hearing test directly without a referral. Provincial rules about who may test hearing and fit hearing aids differ, so ask the clinic about its practitioners' credentials.
The average patient rating is 4.8 out of 5, and 7 clinics are rated 4.5 or higher.

Questions about hearing and audiology clinics
What to expect before you go.
What is the difference between an audiologist and a hearing instrument practitioner?
An audiologist is a regulated health professional who tests hearing, assesses hearing and balance problems, and fits hearing aids. A hearing instrument practitioner (sometimes called a hearing aid dispenser) tests hearing for the purpose of fitting hearing aids. The titles and rules differ by province, so ask the clinic about its practitioners and who regulates them.
Do I need a referral for a hearing test?
Usually not. Most clinics let you book a hearing test directly. Some programs and insurance plans ask for a referral from a physician, so check with your plan or program first.
What happens during a hearing test?
A hearing test measures the quietest sounds you can hear at different pitches and how clearly you understand speech. The practitioner explains the results and discusses options with you. A first visit often includes a short conversation about your hearing history, so ask the clinic how long to plan for.
How much do hearing aids cost?
Prices vary widely by clinic, technology level and whether one or two devices are needed. Ask the clinic for a written quote that shows what is included, such as fittings, follow-up visits and any warranty or trial period.
Is help available to pay for hearing aids?
Hearing aids are generally not covered by provincial health plans for most adults. Some provincial assistive device programs may help eligible people, and many employer extended health benefit plans cover part of the cost, often up to a set amount every few years. Ask the clinic what applies to you and whether it can bill your insurer directly.
How often should I have my hearing tested?
Book a test any time you notice changes, such as trouble following conversations, ringing in the ears or turning up the volume more than before. Ask your practitioner how often to return for follow-up visits.
