Did you know that only Health Canada approved hearing aids can be advertised in Canada?

This includes:
🔹No Over-the-Counter (OTC) hearing aids
🔹No advertising or online promotion of OTC devices
🔹A prescription is required to purchase a legal hearing aid in Ontario

Unauthorized over-the-counter hearing aids aren’t allowed to be sold or advertised in Canada, and they can potentially be unsafe for users. Health Canada monitors these violations and can take legal action if necessary.

How can you help?
If you see illegal advertising or sales of hearing devices, you can report it to Health Canada by submitting a complaint by email or by filling out the online complaint form.

Your health and safety matter.
A certified Hearing Instrument Specialist (H.I.S.) ensures every assessment, device, and recommendation meets Canadian standards for quality and safety.

Did you know winter can affect your hearing health?

Cold temperatures, dry air, and frequent colds or sinus infections can influence how your ears feel and function, but…

A Hearing Instrument Specialist (H.I.S.) can help you stay ahead of any changes and keep your hearing clear through the season.

Here’s why a winter check-in matters
✔ Cold weather increases earwax buildup
✔ Seasonal congestion can block sound
✔ Hearing devices need extra care in dry, cold air
✔ Holiday gatherings are noisier and harder to navigate

Stay connected this season with professional care.
