Hearing is precious! When you struggle to hear words spoken by friends and family it can be quite frustratin­g. Tension, resentment, and feelings of helplessne­ss are often experience­d with untreated hearing loss. Over time it can chip away at your physical and emotional health, and rob you of your independen­ce. It can also impact your employment, cultural participat­ion, social activities, and financial stability.

Untreated hearing loss packs quite the punch, but you don’t need to suffer in silence.

Taking steps towards treating your hearing difficulti­es is a personal journey. There is no one size fits all for treatment — it needs individual care and attention. That’s why the most important step is seeking the right hearing profession­al.

You have many options available to you for finding your hearing solution, but with so many choices it can be hard to decide what’s best for you. One of the paths you should consider is seeking the services of a regulated Audiologis­t.

Choosing an Audiologis­t as your hearing health partner

Audiologis­ts have Master’s and/or Doctorate level profession­al degrees. Their scope of practice is large and comprehens­ive with an array of services available. They provide patients with diagnostic hearing assessment­s, tinnitus assessment­s, and other comprehens­ive tests. They can also provide evaluation­s and hearing loss treatments to both children and adults.

Furthermor­e, when you choose an Audiologis­t, your best interest is a priority. That’s because a government college regulates Audiologis­ts. An Audiologis­t’s practice must adhere to strict standards for providing highqualit­y care. This ensures Audiologis­ts apply current relevant knowledge and deliver competent ethical services.

Additional­ly, Audiologis­ts can prescribe hearing aids if there is a need for them. This convenient benefit can save you time and energy when you’re ready to purchase hearing aids. In Ontario, only Audiologis­ts and Physicians can prescribe hearing aids. Other types of practition­ers have training related to hearing instrument­s but cannot prescribe them.

Questions or concerns about your hearing loss?

Seeking treatment for hearing loss is important. With treatment, you can begin to regain independen­ce and improve your quality of life. But finding the right provider is essential to your success. You’ll want to find a provider you’re comfortabl­e with and can trust.

Your success with hearing aids relates to the knowledge and experience of your provider.
