Understand the Difference: Hearing Health Providers in Ontario
Not all hearing care providers have the same education, training, or clinical focus. This page explains the difference between Hearing Instrument Specialists, Audiologists with a Master’s degree, and Audiologists with a Professional Doctorate degree so patients can make an informed choice about their hearing care.
Your Hearing and Brain Health Are Connected
Did you know? Untreated hearing loss has been linked to an increased risk of cognitive decline. Don’t wait to check your hearing — seeing an audiologist is an important step in understanding your hearing and cognitive health.
If you are 65 and older and have noticed changes in your hearing or tinnitus (ringing in the ears), we offer a FREE COMPREHENSIVE HEARING ASSESSMENT to help you understand what is going on with your hearing and brain health.
This is ideal if you are unsure where to start.
