Why Patients Choose Ottawa Hears

A woman, wearing a white medical coat, shows a detailed anatomical model of an ear to a man in a medical office or audiology clinic. The woman is holding an ear prosthetic or implant and explaining something to the man, who is listening attentively.

Doctor of Audiology-led care
In Ontario, audiologists may practise after completing the required master’s degree and registration requirements. Genia Kanne-Shmigol went further by earning a Doctor of Audiology degree, placing her among a very small percentage of hearing care professionals with advanced doctoral-level training.

Comprehensive, diagnostic approach
We do more than check if you can hear beeps. We look at your hearing, communication needs, ear health, tinnitus, speech understanding, and real-life listening concerns.

Independent recommendations
We are not owned by a hearing aid manufacturer or any large chain. Recommendations are based on your hearing needs, lifestyle, budget, and goals.
