Meet Your Local Hearing Professional

Selene Finlayson
RHIP
Selene grew up around the hearing industry working in a family business of hearing clinics for 40 years. This inspired her decision to become a Registered Hearing Instrument Practitioner. She has had a successful career for over 20 years and is the proud owner of the first NexGen Hearing clinic in BC. Her passion is reflected in the continued work to improve the quality of life of her clients through better hearing.

Terena LeCorre
RAUD
Terena’s interest in hearing loss started when she was about 15 and noticed the struggles her grandfather had with and without hearing aids. His hearing aids obviously helped him, but they were often whistling, and he kept fiddling with the volume controls. Fortunately, hearing aid technology has come a long way since then.

Vincent A
I have had an excellent experience with Celine and NexGen Hearing. Once I realized a few years ago that I had suffered a significant hearing loss (due to two traumatic injuries as well as aging), I finally went in to be tested. Celine very patiently and compassionately explained my loss to me and assured me that with good high-tech hearing aids, I could not only be helped immediately, but it would prevent further deterioration in the hearing centers of my brain. This really motivated me. She fitted me first with behind-the-ear units from ReSound. These worked reasonably well for several years, but the technology.was superseded by that in the Oticon line. Oticon had been recommended to me my my best friend, who is a musician and very sensitive to sound quality. I recent got the latest Oticon More units, which are noting short of amazing! I cannot recommend NexGen Hearing, Celine, and the Oticon More more highly.
Kathryn L
I recently got my first hearing aids at NexGen Salt Spring. I highly recommend both hearing aids and NexGen. NexGen was patient and helpful as I took my time to decide whether or not I wanted to take the step to get hearing aids. They spent a lot of time tailoring them to meet my specific needs. I have had minor hearing loss since I was a kid, and didn't realize how much of the subtler sounds I was missing - like frogs in the evening, and all the background of bird song in my neighborhood. It's also much easier now to have conversations when there is background noise - this has been super helpful.

ANSWERS ABOUT HEARING AIDS AND MORE
Frequently Asked Questions
There are many factors that determine the style of hearing aid that’s right for you, including but not limited to factors such as your degree of hearing loss, size and shape of your ear and ear canal, and any special features that are required.
⠀
Your NexGen Hearing registered hearing care professional can recommend an appropriate style of hearing aid for you – get in touch today!
If your hearing aid is making a whistling noise, then you are hearing feedback in your device. Sound that was supposed to go into your ear canal has escaped the ear instead and been picked up by the hearing instrument’s microphone. The sound then becomes reamplified and put out of the speaker.
This can happen when the hearing aid does not fit properly. If you are experiencing a whistling noise in your hearing device, come see us at our clinic so we can have your hearing aid refitted.
Hearing aid prices vary from several hundred dollars up to a few thousand, and it all depends on the technology level in each device. Affordable hearing aids and the more expensive options come with different features and capabilities.
⠀
You can think of hearing aids as coming in levels of gold, silver, or bronze. If your listening needs are simple, it just might be that even the most basic hearing aid is enough for you. If your life is more active and you find yourself wanting to hear better in more active and noisy listening environments, then a more sophisticated level of hearing aid features will give you more benefit.
⠀
NexGen Hearing also offers financing options to help you with an affordable option to improve your hearing. Learn more about our lease to hear financing and other hearing aid financing options.
At our clinic, we use the pure-tone audiometry test which involves you sitting in a soundproof room while wearing headphones and pressing a button every time you hear a sound. This is a short and painless test that usually lasts about 15 minutes.
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.
