in the grand symphony of life, your sense of hearing plays a pivotal role, enabling you to savour everything from the voices of loved ones to the rustle of leaves in the breeze to the notes of your favourite songs. good hearing isn’t just about catching every sound, it’s also about preserving your independence and staying closely connected to your community. this is why entrusting your hearing care to a trained professional equipped with the latest technology is more than just a sound choice — it’s key to your overall wellness.
here’s why regular check-ups with a hearing-care expert can be your bridge to a life filled with the beautiful sounds of living.
the impact of hearing loss on cognition
the first step on the journey to hearing wellness is being honest about what you’re experiencing. many of us don’t want to admit we’re becoming hard of hearing, assuming we can just turn up the volume or ask people to speak up. in reality, hearing loss has many more consequences than simply missing life’s quieter moments.
untreated hearing loss puts you at greater risk for cognitive decline and dementia. living with even a mild case of hearing loss can double your risk of developing dementia. when you hear less, there is a reduction in stimulation to the brain, which can impact mental acuity.

what’s more, having less auditory input can impair the brain’s ability to process sound and recognize speech. and as your hearing worsens, it becomes more challenging to follow everyday conversations, particularly in large gatherings. this can make you feel isolated, resulting in a diminished social life, which can negatively impact cognition.
in short, it’s easier to act on hearing loss than to live with it.
specialized care: no one-size-fits-all solution
your hearing is as unique as your fingerprint, so it makes sense to seek out a licenced auditory professional who can assess your hearing and provide individualized counselling based on your specific needs.
if you detect a change in your ability to hear properly, consider visiting a hearing clinic that’s close and convenient for you. with more than 300 locations across the country, hearinglife is canada’s largest hearing-care provider.
unlike large retailers, specialized hearing-care centres allow you to build a relationship with a hearing specialist. hearinglife offers that personalized approach, backed by cutting-edge technology.
“the purchase of hearing aids is a big investment, both in terms of finances and your time,” says katie koebel, senior manager, audiology at hearinglife. “by listening to our clients and asking questions, our hearing-health professionals can recommend the right solution for your unique hearing needs.”

part of any hearinglife assessment is a detailed case history, including establishing what kinds of noise exposure or other hearing trauma you may have experienced. furthermore, precise testing will be conducted on your hearing and hearing aid abilities, and you’ll have the choice of a large range of hearing aid types and brands so that you can find the optimal solution for you.
the relationship with your hearing professional doesn’t end there. hearing aids are sophisticated electronic devices, and continued exposure to dirt, dust and moisture can damage them over time. if any issues arise with your hearing aids, hearinglife clinics are quick to respond either during their daily walk-in times, or through a tele-support team reached by phone or online chat. by offering proactive care and maintenance, as well as being responsive is issues arise, hearinglife will ensure your hearing aids continue to meet your auditory needs over their lifespan.
the right fit for your lifestyle and budget
hearing aids can make a significant improvement to your quality of life, and they are an investment. hearinglife is committed to helping you find the right solution.
“our hearing-care professionals are well versed in hearing aid coverage programs that are available in each province,” says koebel, “and if we believe there is one that may apply to you, we can help you with the application process.”
