Hearing Tests

Many Canadians aged 40 to 79 years are unaware that they have hearing loss*. Hearing loss often occurs gradually as part of the aging process. It may also be caused by loud noise, trauma, medications, disease and hereditary factors.

Your first hearing test is especially important to set a baseline for your hearing health, so that any changes can be tracked over time.

We recommend that you book a hearing test if:

• you think you may be experiencing hearing loss;
• your family and friends have experienced concerns about your hearing;
• you work in a loud environment; or
• you have a history of ear infections, surgery, or draining ear(s);
• you have not had a hearing test in the last 24 months.
