Services
Diagnostic Audiologic Evaluation
Our comprehensive hearing evaluations identify hearing loss types and severity through pure-tone testing, speech audiometry, and middle ear assessments. This diagnostic process determines whether hearing loss is conductive or sensorineural, guiding appropriate treatment recommendations. Patients receive detailed explanations of test results and personalized care plans.
Hearing Aid Fittings
We offer customized hearing aid fittings with real-time adjustments using live speech mapping technology. Our specialists help select appropriate devices based on lifestyle needs and hearing requirements. The process includes device orientation, maintenance training, and follow-up adjustments for optimal performance.
Infant Hearing Program
As a designated Ontario Infant Hearing Program site, we provide specialized diagnostic testing and intervention for children birth to six years. Our team conducts developmentally appropriate assessments and provides hearing aids or other interventions to support speech and language development in young children.
Live Speech Mapping
This advanced verification method uses live speech to optimize hearing aid settings through real-time visual feedback. Family members participate in the fitting process while observing adjustments on display screens, ensuring precise programming that matches individual hearing requirements and improves communication effectiveness.
Tinnitus Counseling
We provide specialized assessment and management strategies for tinnitus sufferers. Our approach combines sound therapy, hearing aid integration, and patient education to reduce symptom impact. Treatment plans address both the auditory and psychological aspects of chronic tinnitus through evidence-based interventions.
