◊ Sound exhibit a great opportunity for seniors, says business owner
Rob Hamilton was thrilled after a visit to Sound, Just Sound at Joseph Brant Museum.
He could see the importance of having people – specifically seniors – learn more about sound and decided to support it through his business, Hearing Well Matters.. From now until the exhibit’s completion at the end of March, seniors can visit for half price – $4.
It’s a special rate for the special subject of sound, explains Hamilton, who’s called Burlington home for 25 years and discovered the new exhibit when he was walking with his wife. They live nearby, and Hearing Well Matters is also just around the corner at 573 Maple Ave., in the IDA Plaza.
Hamilton said he was so impressed by the exhibit that he immediately pursued the partnership with the Museums of Burlington to help make it more affordable to seniors.
As both the owner and clinician, Hamilton has been testing the hearing of Burlington residents since 2020. Prior to that he worked for five years at Starkey Hearing Technologies, one of the leading global manufacturers of hearing instruments.

◊ Hearing Well Matters offers support and outreach to community
Rob Hamilton and the team at Hearing Well Matters in Burlington have a passion for helping others hear well. And a passion for their community.
“We opened our state-of-the-art hearing clinic in February 2020, right before the Covid-19 pandemic lockdowns,” explained Hamilton. “So, that was pretty challenging for a business with a lot of senior patients. But since then, we have been dedicated to growing the clinic and helping our patients. We are all here for them.”
Hearing Well Matters is a family owned and operated, independent clinic, with two patient testing rooms and two hearing aid specialists. “It’s convenient, if a couple wants to be tested at the same time, or friends, or we have a group in from a retirement home,” said Hamilton. “We also have free parking, we are an accessible facility, and we offer a free shuttle bus service as well.”
Hamilton explained that hearing can often be an undervalued sense. “We don’t really remember how we heard when we were in our 20’s or 30’s,” he mused. “But untreated impaired hearing can lead to depression and social isolation, and has been shown to be linked with higher incidences of dementia and loss of cognitive ability. It’s a really important sense, and it needs to be taken care of.”
The team at Hearing Well Matters are big community supporters as well. Hamilton belongs to the Canadian Association of Retired People; the Burlington Lawn Bowling Club, where they sponsor an annual tournament; the Burlington Curling Club, where they sponsor the day ladies section; the Burlington Golf & Country Club, where they sponsor men’s and women’s leagues; and the Burlington Pickleball Association, where they are lead sponsors.
