Every day we have patients who return to our clinic to tell us how modern hearing devices have helped them communicate much better with their friends and families, and how the hearing aids have helped them achieve a better quality of life, such as being more involved socially.

If you haven’t visited a hearing clinic in a while, you may have some misconceptions about how much hearing aids cost. However, there are measures in place to ensure you can acquire hearing devices that suit your hearing loss, your lifestyle and your financial situation, with multiple financing options available.

The first step is recognizing hearing loss. Do you or a loved one:

• Have difficulty understanding speech well in background noise?

• Often have to ask people to repeat themselves?

• Have difficulty understanding someone from another room?

• Find that others mumble?

• Find yourself lip-reading a lot?

• Turn up the volume of the TV, radio or phone?

IF you answer ‘yes’ to more than one of these, you should take the first step to better hearing by scheduling a FREE hearing test at Hearing Well Matters.

At Hearing Well Matters, if hearing loss is present, hearing aids may be recommended, but there is never any

obligation or pressure to buy. There is a range of hearing aid styles, technology levels and price points that

are available to meet the needs of almost anyone. We also offer significant seasonal and seniors’ discounts.

At Hearing Well Matters, you can either pay the entire cost up front, or spread it out interest-free over as many as twelve months. The first flexible option is 3-month interest free financing – the client uses post-dated cheques to spread out the cost over 90 days. The second flexible option allows you to spread out the cost up to a year, through a financing partner.

There are several government funding programs in Ontario that also help off-set the cost of hearing aids. The Ministry of Health provides a grant of up to $1000 every five years to Ontarians, The Workman’s Safety Insurance Board (WSIB) may cover hearing aids for workers whose hearing has been hurt on the job, and the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) and the First Nations Insured Program (NIHB) may also cover hearing aids.

Finally, Hearing Well Matters offers demonstration Hearing Devices, which allows you to test-drive a pair of the most up-to-date digital hearing devices for free for up to 60 days, before you make a decision to acquire hearing devices. Hassle-free. Pressure-free.
