Hearing Aid Services

Bloor Hearing Clinic, an independent hearing aid centre in Toronto, offers comprehensive services for hearing aid users. From selection to ongoing support, we ensure optimal hearing solutions tailored to patient needs.

Hearing Aid Selection

Our audiologists assess hearing loss severity, lifestyle, and personal preferences to recommend suitable hearing aids. Factors like Bluetooth compatibility, dexterity, and budget are considered to ensure ease of use and affordability. This personalized approach helps patients choose devices that enhance their hearing while fitting seamlessly into their daily lives. 

Hearing Aid Programming

Once selected, hearing aids undergo precise programming to match the patient’s unique hearing profile. Audiologists fine-tune amplification to specific frequencies for a natural listening experience. Adjustments are made based on patient feedback, optimizing performance across various environments.

Hearing Aid Verification

Bloor Hearing Clinic uses real ear measurement, the gold standard for hearing aid verification. A small microphone in the ear canal measures sound delivery, ensuring the device provides accurate amplification. This process improves speech clarity and enhances the overall hearing experience. 

Hearing Aid Use Education

Patients receive hands-on training on using and maintaining their hearing aids. This includes proper insertion, cleaning techniques, battery management, and troubleshooting tips. Comprehensive education empowers users to maximize device longevity and maintain peak performance.

Hearing Aid Follow-Ups

Regular follow-ups ensure continued success with hearing aids. We assess patient progress, make necessary adjustments, and address concerns. This ongoing support allows for fine-tuning as hearing needs evolve, improving long-term satisfaction. 

Hearing Aid Demonstrations

For those unsure about committing, hearing aid demonstrations offer a hands-on experience with different models. Patients can test various options before purchasing so they choose the right device for their hearing loss, lifestyle, and comfort.

Hearing Aid Repair

We provide hearing aid repair services to address issues such as sound distortion, connectivity problems, or physical damage. Minor repairs are done in-clinic, while extensive damage may require sending the device to the manufacturer. Regular maintenance and timely repairs help extend the lifespan of hearing aids for consistent performance and clear sound quality.

Hearing Aids Cost and Warranty

Depending on the model, hearing aids cost between $2,800 and $5,500 per pair after government funding. Each purchase includes a three-year manufacturer’s warranty, two years of loss and damage protection, and lifetime in-clinic services, ensuring long-term hearing care.

Bone-anchored hearing aids (BAHA) provide a surgical alternative for patients with conductive hearing loss, mixed hearing loss, or single-sided deafness. These devices bypass the middle ear, transmitting sound vibrations through the skull to the inner ear, usually ranging between $4,500 to $8,000.

Hearing Aid Types

Hearing aids come in two main different styles to suit various hearing needs and preferences. Both types cater to different levels of hearing loss:

Behind-the-Ear Hearing Aids

Behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids rest behind the ear, amplifying mild to severe hearing loss. They are durable, easy to adjust, and suitable for most users.

In-the-Ear Hearing Aids

In-the-ear (ITE) hearing aids are custom-molded to fit inside the ear, providing a more discreet option. These devices deliver natural sound quality and are easier to handle, making them ideal for those who prefer a compact design.

Hearing Loss Causes & Treatment

Hearing loss affects millions of Canadians, with around 35% of adults experiencing some degree of hearing impairment. Below are the major hearing loss causes and their treatment.

Earwax Buildup

A common yet easily treatable cause, earwax buildup blocks sound from reaching the inner ear, leading to temporary hearing loss. Symptoms include muffled hearing and a sensation of fullness in the ear. Professional earwax removal at a hearing aid center can restore hearing clarity.

Infections

Ear infections, especially in the middle ear, can cause inflammation and fluid buildup. If untreated, severe infections may result in permanent damage. Antibiotics or ear drops typically help, but chronic cases may require medical intervention.

Diseases

Conditions like Ménière’s disease, acoustic neuromas (tumors), and autoimmune disorders can impact hearing. Symptoms vary, from fluctuating hearing loss to tinnitus and balance issues. Treatment depends on the condition and may involve medication, therapy, or surgical options.

Ototoxic Medications

Certain drugs, such as chemotherapy agents, antibiotics, and high-dose aspirin, are ototoxic, meaning they can damage the inner ear. Hearing loss from these medications can be temporary or permanent. Consulting a healthcare provider about alternatives or dosage adjustments may help.

Trauma

Head injuries, ruptured eardrums, or exposure to loud noise can permanently harm hearing structures. Treatments range from rest and medication to surgical repair, depending on the severity. Protective measures, like using earplugs in noisy environments, can prevent future damage.

Age-Related Hearing Loss

Presbycusis, or age-related hearing loss, is a gradual decline in hearing due to inner ear changes over time. While irreversible, hearing aids and assistive devices can significantly improve speech clarity and communication.

Hearing Aid Price

Hearing aids cost $2,800–$5,500 per pair after ADP funding, including a 3-year manufacturer’s warranty, 2-year loss coverage, and lifetime in-clinic services.
