It’s not uncommon for those over 65 years to struggle with the beginnings of hearing loss. Or perhaps, you care for an older adult who is losing confidence or struggling to maintain their independence because of hearing loss.
Many adults struggle with hearing as they get older. Hearing loss has a big impact on daily life and on keeping mobile and social. Some seniors find themselves staying home more, and not spending time in meaningful activities like going out, taking part in hobbies or being with their grandchildren.
It can be frustrating for caregivers and family members too, who worry about a loved one’s change in health. They worry about how to find the best care, how they can help their family member gain access to a clinic due to issues around mobility, time or distance. There are concerns around the cost, how well the hearing aids might work or how difficult it might be for Mom or Dad to adjust to the hearing aids.
If you are unsure what to do, or where to get a hearing test, don’t worry. Ears To You is coming to Edmonton to make all this easier.
Ears to You is a fully functioning mobile hearing clinic that goes to you! When you book an appointment, a van with a professionally staffed hearing clinic comes to your home. There is no need to go out at any stage. Once the appointment is booked, a hearing professional will guide you through everything, from the initial needs assessment all the way to follow-up care.
“There was clearly a need for this kind of mobile service in Edmonton,” said Scott Voisey, the director/owner of Ears to You. “The winters here are dark and cold and that can be intimidating for seniors who don’t want to go outdoors in the winter. This service comes right to the home and does the tests, the adjustments and the cleanings right in your driveway.”
“It’s a great service for seniors and for anyone with a disability or mobility issues,” he continues. “We offer information and free hearing tests, but our focus is on health and what we really want is for people to be aware and to be able to hear. “
The service is convenient but also cost-effective. With no need for bricks and mortar locations everything can be delivered at a lower price, which eases concerns around cost. Hearing care is more accessible than ever thanks to their convenience, competitive pricing and access to third-party insurers.
Ears To You already have vans ready and are taking bookings. “It doesn’t stop with Edmonton,” Scott adds. “Our goal is to serve all Northern Alberta by 2026. We plan to be fully operational with six vans on the road in the next 16 months.”
