Hearing loss affects approximately 70% of Canadians over the age of 70, but changes in hearing due to aging or noise exposure can begin at a much earlier age. Untreated hearing loss can lead to social isolation, anxiety and depression. The use of hearing aids will not restore the hearing you once had however hearing aids can help stimulate the hearing you have left and help maintain your speech understanding. The result is easier communication with your loved ones and improved quality of life.
