Why should you have hearing aids?
Because your hearing is the direct link to those you love, it's important to listen to what your ears are trying to tell you. Here are some signs that deserve special attention.
Difficulty hearing
You often get the impression that people don't enunciate clearly or you have to make them repeat themselves.
High volume level
People around you notice that the volume of the television or radio is getting louder and louder.
Telephone Challenges
You have difficulty understanding telephone conversations or conversations in noisy places.
Hearing fatigue
You feel a certain fatigue after a day spent trying to follow discussions.
Do you have questions about hearing aids?
Here are the answers to the most common questions to help you understand your adaptation journey and move forward with confidence.
Adaptation is a gradual process that varies from person to person. On average, it takes a few weeks for your brain to adjust to the new sounds and get used to the amplification. That's why we schedule regular follow-up appointments together: we adjust your settings step by step until you are completely comfortable.
Yes. Depending on your situation and if you meet the eligibility criteria, the purchase of your hearing aids may be fully or partially covered by organizations such as RAMQ , CNESST , or Veterans Affairs . We would be happy to assist you with these verification steps.
Many private insurance plans offer coverage for hearing aids. Since each policy is unique, we encourage you to confirm the details and applicable amounts directly with your insurer.
No. Hearing aids don't "cure" hearing loss, but they intelligently amplify and filter sounds to maximize your understanding, even in noisy environments. Our goal is to restore optimal and natural listening comfort, tailored to your lifestyle.
The average lifespan is between 5 and 7 years. This depends mainly on the model chosen, the rigor of daily maintenance, and your operating environment. Regular professional servicing helps optimize their performance over time.
It's perfectly normal to experience some strangeness or slight discomfort at first. If this persists, don't leave it as it is: simply contact the clinic. Your hearing care professional can easily adjust the volume, fine-tune the settings, or modify the physical room for your comfort.
During your appointment, we take the time to teach you the correct techniques. Basic maintenance is based on simple actions:
-
Regular cleaning to remove earwax.
-
Daily charging or battery management depending on your model.
-
Protection against humidity (drying box).
-
The periodic replacement of protective filters.
-
Note: Our clinic also offers a complete on-site maintenance and repair service.
-
Even if everything is fine, regular follow-up appointments at the clinic are strongly recommended. These visits allow us to monitor the progress of your hearing, thoroughly clean your hearing aids, and readjust the settings to ensure they continue to perfectly meet your current needs.
