Frequently Asked Questions
How long has the clinic been in operation?
How young can children be tested?
Do you have financing?
Can you bill my private insurance?
When should I get my hearing tested?
1. All babies should be screened at birth, but since Universal Newborn Hearing Screening (UNHS) has not been established in Saskatchewan, parents must seek this testing on their own.
2. All children entering kindergarten should have a hearing screening.
3. Anyone working in the presence of excessive noise (85 dBA) should have an annual threshold check.
4. An assessment around the age of 50 will help determine a progressive hearing loss in the future.
5. A sudden shift in hearing acuity requires a hearing test within 48 hours.
Additional testing may be recommended by your audiologist depending on case history and audiometric results. Once hearing loss or tinnitus is determined, an audiometric test every two years is recommended (sooner if any of the above is applicable).
How often should I have my hearing tested?
Do I need a referral to see an audiologist?
Why do I have ear wax and what is the best way to get it out of my ears?
There are three methods a regulated health care professional will use to remove excessive ear wax:
1. Instrumentation: wax is removed using a curette;
2. Suction: wax is removed using a mini vacuum (safest and most preferred by clients);
3. Irrigation: flushing with water.
NOTE: Ear candling is not a recommended method for cerumen removal.
I have hearing loss in both ears, but do just fine with only one hearing aid. Why would I get a second hearing aid?
I know someone with a hearing loss. What can I do to make communicating easier for both of us?
- Speak normally; not too exaggerated, too quickly or too loudly.
- Be sure you have eye contact before you begin speaking to the person.
- Use facial expressions, gestures and body language.
- Ensure the person is aware when the topic changes.
- Be aware of competing noises or sounds in the room such as music, other people talking, or mechanical sounds such as air conditioners. Background noises make it much more difficult to hear.
- Reword your sentence if the person does not understand what you are saying.
- Most importantly, ask if there is anything you can do to improve communication.
I woke up this morning with significantly poorer hearing than usual in one ear. What should I do?
Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL) should be considered a medical emergency and be dealt with in the first 48 hours. The sooner you seek medical attention, the more likely you are to recover some or all of your hearing. Since there are more than 100 possible causes of SSHL, it is often unlikely that it will be identified. Possible treatments include antibiotics, low salt diet, and most commonly, steroids.
What is the difference between and audiologist and a hearing aid practitioner?
Audiologists are regulated in Saskatchewan through the Saskatchewan Association of Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists (SASLPA).
I have one "dead" ear. Can you do anything to help me?
