ANSWERS ABOUT HEARING AIDS AND MORE

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my hearing get worse if I don’t wear my hearing aid?

The act of not wearing a hearing aid in itself will not make your hearing get worse. What can make your hearing get worse is not wearing a hearing aid and needing to increase the volume on things like televisions, radios, and headphones, or needing people you are talking with to talk louder. We recommend you wear your hearing aid as directed by your doctor and audiologist. However, if you are not wearing your hearing device, be sure not to overdo it with turning up the volume.

How should I prepare for a hearing assessment?

There are three things you should do to prepare for your hearing test:

Avoid loud noises and areas for 16 hours before the test.
Remove any earwax that may be in your ear canal. Do not use a Q-tip to do this as that will only push earwax deeper into the canal. Let our clinic staff take care of cleaning out your ears for you.
Let us know if you take or have taken antibiotics that can damage hearing, such as gentamicin.

Do you perform tinnitus assessments – ringing in the ears?

We do perform tinnitus assessments at some of our NexGen Hearing clinics. To find out which clinic you can book a tinnitus assessment appointment please call us at 1 (877) 606 6671.

Are hearing tests free?

A no-obligation hearing screening is free at any one of our clinics. This assessment includes the 3-point series of tests that includes measuring air conduction, word discrimination, and checking the eardrum and middle ear system. More comprehensive exams that require reporting such as physician reports, employment requirements or children’s hearing test are exempt from the free hearing test offer, check with your local clinic for rates.

What are the signs of hearing loss?

There are many signs and symptoms of hearing loss. The signs of hearing loss can differ from person to person depending on the type of hearing loss that they are experiencing. General signs of hearing loss include:

Voices sounding muffled or unclear
Not being able to tell where a sound is coming from (known as localization)
Needing higher volume settings on televisions, stereos and headphones
Trouble differentiating between foreground and background noise

If you notice any of these signs in your life, contact our hearing clinic right away to schedule a free hearing test.
