Optimize Your Hearing: Beyond Limited Brand Choices
Affordable Hearing Aid Options at Ottawa Hears: Committed to making hearing care accessible to everyone, Ottawa Hears provides a variety of affordable hearing aid options. We firmly believe that cost should not impede access to quality hearing care. Our selection encompasses a wide array of models and price points, catering to different budgets and individual needs. Genia Kanne-Shmigol, our Doctor of Audiology, audiologist, is devoted to assisting you in finding the most suitable hearing solution that respects your financial considerations.
In line with the new Ontario health regulations, effective as of January 29th, 2024, the prescription of hearing aids is a regulated act exclusively performed by qualified audiologists. Ottawa Hears stands as one of the few independent local hearing clinics remaining, and under the leadership of Genia Kanne-Shmigol, Doctor of Audiology, we uphold the highest standards in hearing care. With a repertoire of over a dozen top global brands, we understand that a restricted choice of brands can limit the potential for fully enhancing an individual's hearing and overall quality of life. Our commitment to offering a diverse range of brands and providing personalized care is key, as we recognize that hearing aids are not a one-size-fits-all solution. This patient-centered approach, essential for custom-tailored treatment, is backed by recent studies.
