Hearing Tests for you in Edmonton, AB
Caring For Your Hearing
Hearing may be our most important sense, yet the most neglected.
Your hearing health deserves as much focus and care as your eyesight and dental care.
Why Neglect Your Ears?
As we age, our hearing acuity can degrade, likely due to several factors including prolonged exposure to noise, aging, and health issues. This hearing loss occurs so gradually that it is seldom detected until later in life.
Telltale signs of hearing loss include turning the volume higher on the TV, difficulty hearing conversations in a group, or difficulty using the telephone.
If you feel like you have hearing loss come visit our Spruce Grove, or Edmonton location for a Hearing Test.
Hearing Demystified
More than 10% of all Canadians have a hearing deficit, and it is estimated that 50% of senior Canadians have a hearing deficit. Hearing deficits are increasingly frequent and may often go undetected until a hearing aid becomes necessary.
We live in a noisy world, so it’s important to take steps to protect our hearing. Preventing unnecessary hearing loss is well worth the investment of your time and energy!
