We follow one of the most advanced test protocols in the Fraser Valley and also offer basic hearing screenings for job or workplace requirements.
Pediatric Hearing Assessments (Ages 4+)
Our child-friendly sound booth and age-appropriate testing methods make hearing care engaging and stress-free.
We use otoacoustic emissions, tympanometry, acoustic reflex testing, and tone and speech tests suited to each child’s development level.
Every session is designed to identify everything from temporary ear fluid to permanent hearing loss, in a setting that feels safe and playful.

Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) Assessment
APD affects how the brain interprets sounds, even when hearing is normal.
Common signs include:
- Difficulty understanding speech, especially in noise
- Poor listening and short attention span
- Trouble following verbal directions
- Reading and language delays
If you or your child struggle with speech clarity or attention, our comprehensive APD evaluations can help identify challenges and guide targeted management strategies.
FM / Roger Systems
FM and Roger systems enhance listening in noisy spaces or from a distance – ideal for classrooms, workplaces, or public settings.
We assess, recommend, and fit these systems for both children and adults based on their specific auditory needs.
Auditory Training Programs
Customized auditory training helps strengthen listening, sound discrimination, and speech understanding.
Programs are tailored to individual goals and are often part of hearing aid rehabilitation or APD management.
Cerumen (Earwax) Management
Blocked ears or muffled hearing?
We offer safe, professional earwax removal using gentle techniques to restore comfort and clarity – ideal for all ages and hearing aid users.
Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT)
We provide Tinnitus Retraining Therapy following the internationally recognized program developed by Dr. Jastreboff. This evidence-based approach supports individuals experiencing tinnitus, hyperacusis, or misophonia, whether or not a hearing loss is present.
Custom Earplugs
We offer custom-fit swim plugs, noise protection plugs, and musician earplugs, designed for comfort, durability, and optimal performance.
Hearing & Cochlear Implant Candidacy
We perform candidacy assessments for cochlear implants in individuals with severe-to-profound hearing loss, whether unilateral or bilateral. We also offer hearing aid programming for bimodal (implant + hearing aid) users to ensure balanced auditory input.
