Being able to hear what’s happening around you should be a joyful experience. And for many it is also extremely important to their quality of life. Although hearing loss is very common, especially in older adults, it often goes undiagnosed and untreated. That’s a shame, because in many situations you can be proactive and potentially prevent hearing loss. You don’t need to just accept the fact that you can’t hear the sounds around you. If you’re experiencing a lack of hearing, it’s imperative that you act on it, instead of just simply living with it.
That doesn’t mean you run out and purchase hearing aids immediately. “The purchase of hearing aids is a big investment, both in terms of your finances and your time,” says Katie Kobel, senior manager, audiology at HearingLife. “Just because you purchase expensive devices does not guarantee you will achieve the best results. Hearing aids require specialized fine tuning by a hearing care professional to ensure they realize their full potential.”
Your first step should be to book an appointment with a local hearing care professional. An expert will take the time to listen to your unique hearing needs, conduct precise testing of your hearing and hearing aid abilities directly in your ears. They will ensure that their recommendations meet your hearing needs both now and in the future with appropriate follow-ups.

HearingLife is Canada’s largest group of hearing centres, with over 300 locations across the country. As a hearing care partner and provider, they have the most modern and latest global technology, along with hearing care solutions to suit every need and budget. But HearingLife professionals don’t just sell hearing aids. Because everyone’s hearing is unique, they take a personalized approach, using their technological expertise to ensure you’re living your best life with the best hearing outcome possible. They will take a detailed case history at your first appointment, so they become familiar with your unique hearing needs as well as what kind of noise exposure or hearing trauma you’ve experienced.
“Follow-up care is important at HearingLife, so we will incorporate your feedback on hearing aid performance at follow-up consultations,” says Kobel. “As your hearing changes over your lifetime, we can ensure that, through a regular schedule of maintenance follow-ups, your hearing aids continue to perform as well years from now as they do when you are first fit.”
And because hearing aids are sophisticated electronic devices that are worn daily and exposed to things like dirt, dust and moisture, HearingLife clinics are quick to respond to your immediate needs with daily walk-in hours and a telesupport team that can be reached via phone or online chat.
HearingLife experts are also well-versed in the hearing aid coverage programs available in each province, and they can help you with the application process. Hearing healthcare is not one-size-fits-all and HearingLife professionals listen to clients and ask questions so they can recommend the right solution for your needs and budget. They understand that hearing aids are an investment and they want to make hearing healthcare available to everyone. To meet that need, they offer significant discounts and payment plans to reduce the financial burden, so that anyone can make this important investment into their hearing and their overall quality of life.
