“We can develop hearing loss at any age. If you’re suffering from hearing loss, asking people to repeat themselves or turning the TV volume louder than others appreciate is a lot more noticeable than a small device on your ear.”

If you're experiencing hearing loss, getting hearing aids can provide numerous benefits for your well-being and overall quality of life. Consider the following reasons to choose hearing aids:

Improved Happiness: Research has determined that hearing aid wearers are three times more likely to experience increased happiness compared to those without hearing aids. By using hearing aids, individuals can regain their ability to hear and engage in conversations, enjoy social interactions, and actively participate in various activities. This improvement in communication and overall hearing health can contribute to a greater sense of happiness and well-being.

1 in 4 hearing aids wearers have better relationships: Hearing loss can create barriers in effective communication, leading to misunderstandings, frustration, and isolation. By wearing hearing aids, individuals can actively participate in conversations, understand speech more clearly, and connect with others on a deeper level.

To explore suitable hearing solutions for your specific needs, we recommend scheduling a hearing test at our local clinic. Our experienced hearing care professionals will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your hearing and provide personalized recommendations.

Additionally, we offer free hearing aid trial to ensure the chosen devices are the right fit for your unique hearing needs.

Don't let hearing loss hold you back from enjoying life to the fullest. Contact our Elmsdale - MacMillan Centre clinic today to schedule a free hearing aid trial and take the first step towards better hearing.

“To realize their full potential, hearing aids require specialized fine-tuning by a hearing care professional for your unique hearing and lifestyle needs. This is accomplished by taking the time to listen to your experience, conducting precise testing of your hearing and hearing aid abilities directly in your ears, and incorporating your feedback of their performance during follow-up consultations.”
Katie Koebel, Audiologist, M.Cl.Sc., Reg. CASLPO

Did you know? At $5.00 per device per day, our Hearing Aid devices cost as low as a cup of coffee.

When it comes to hearing aid prices, there is a lot to keep in mind.

  • Remember, you will be wearing these devices every day. It is highly important to buy hearing aids that fit your specific needs.
  • To make sure that you get the full benefit of hearing aids, you must be fitted by a hearing care professional to ensure your hearing aids are personalized to you.

According to the World Health Organization, over 80% of ear and hearing care needs remain unmet globally. At HearingLife, we recognize the importance of addressing this gap in access to quality hearing care. That's why we're proud to offer a price match policy, ensuring that everyone can have access to the latest hearing aids without breaking the bank.

Should you find a hearing aid offering the same features, options, and services at a lower price, simply present a written estimate from the past 30 days, and we will match that price for you. Ask our hearing care professionals for more details.

Ear wax, also known as cerumen, is a natural substance secreted by glands in the ear canal. An excess buildup of wax can occur in some individuals.

Ear wax serves as a natural defense mechanism against foreign particles, dust, and bacteria, preventing them from entering the inner ear. It also helps to keep the ear canal moisturized, preventing dryness and irritation. Despite its benefits, an overproduction or inadequate removal of ear wax can result in blockages, leading to symptoms such as earache, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), and temporary hearing loss.

If you're experiencing discomfort or difficulty hearing due to excessive ear wax, it may be time to consider ear cleaning. We offer professional ear wax removal services to help you maintain your hearing health.

What to Expect?

During your appointment, our hearing care professionals will conduct a thorough assessment of your hearing health, including examining the ear canal using specialized instruments. Based on our findings, we will recommend the most appropriate method for ear wax removal.
