Hearing Information
Hearing is one of our most important senses. Without the ability to hear, communication becomes difficult, social gatherings become frustrating, and quality of life suffers. Hearing loss usually develops slowly, often worsens with age and is generally permanent. It is typical for individuals with a mild to moderate hearing loss to be unaware of their problem, even though family and friends are quite aware of it.

Hearing loss is invisible and almost always painless. There are no physical warning signs, except in some cases there may be ringing in the ear(s). Statistically, one-in-ten Canadians have hearing loss. Hearing loss is the third most prevalent, but treatable condition among seniors (after hypertension and arthritis). More than 50% of Canadians over the age of 65 have hearing loss, but only a fraction of those seek help from a Registered Audiologist or Registered Hearing Aid Practitioner.
