In Canada, approximately 60% of adults have problems with their hearing health. Of that number, 23% experience hearing loss, 22% have tinnitus and 14% report having both conditions.*
This means that many of us will be purchasing hearing aid devices in our lifetimes, whether for ourselves or a loved one. It could be for the first time ever or we simply need to replace an existing pair.
When shopping around for the right hearing instrument, quality matters. Not only should you carefully investigate the best options on the market to fit your lifestyle, you’ll need to factor in ongoing care for them as well. Proper maintenance is key.
Hearing aids made in Europe—which are some of the newest and latest devices on the market—are definitely worth a look. At Best Hearing Care Inc., they offer digital, behind the ear, inside the ear, in the canal, invisible and other hearing aid models made by both European and North American manufacturers.
They perform hearing tests and sell a variety of hearing aids and hearing devices. “We are very service-oriented and try to offer our customers the best hearing options at the most affordable price,” says Vera Silajeva, Manager.
“Just as important, we offer fantastic after-sale service. We can adjust the device, ensuring that it continues to fit well and operate the way it should, and show clients how to make adjustments themselves,” she says.
The clinic also performs onsite hearing aid repairs and industrial tests, offers ear wax cleaning, and creates customized ear plugs for noise, swimming and music. They even offer mobile services and tinnitus management. The office is 5-star-rated.
The cost
Staff are most often asked about the cost of hearing aids. The price range for hearing aids at Best Hearing Care is $2,500 to $4,500.
“We’re able to assist clients with payment plans,” Silajeva assures.
The clinic also accepts ODSP, WSIB, Federal Assistant VAC and extended health care benefits.
A purchase of this kind is not a one-time transaction.
“After-sale care is very important to maintain the functioning of the hearing aid and to extend its lifespan,” says Manar Shakir, Hearing Instrument Specialist. She recommends patients come in for check-ups once every six months and for maintenance once every 3 months. “If you have any issues, of course, come see us immediately.”
There are benefits to receiving this kind of tailored service. You can troubleshoot easily and address any issues as they arise. You can be assured your hearing device is in top condition. You are also establishing a relationship with a trained professional who will monitor changes in your hearing over time.
The clinic has received consistently high ratings, thanks to the staff’s dedicated approach. Says Manar, “We give patients flexibility by explaining their options, allowing them to decide, respecting their choice, and helping them effectively and professionally—meeting and surpassing their needs.”
