When Should I Visit an Audiologist in Toronto?
An audiologist should be consulted if you experience any of the following:
- Frequently asking others to repeat what they say
- Feel like others are often mumbling
- Having a hard time hearing or understanding in background noise.
- Turning up the volume on the radio, television or other device
Audiology is a regulated healthcare profession in Ontario, governed by the Regulated Health Professions Act (RHPA) of 1991. This act, which also regulates physicians and nurses, is designed to protect the public by ensuring that health professionals practice ethically and competently.
The College of Audiologists and Speech-Language Pathologists of Ontario (CASLPO) is the governing body that regulates audiologists in Ontario, ensuring they adhere to best practice protocols and provide high standards of patient care. In Canada, audiologists need at least a Master’s degree and must continue working in their field through clinical practice.
- You receive a high standard of care.
- Your Audiologist is legally required to provide ethical and competent services, accountable to their governing body, CASLPO.
- Your Audiologists will make knowledgeable and appropriate referrals to other healthcare providers when necessary, ensuring comprehensive care.
- Social Isolation: Hearing loss can lead to withdrawal from social interactions, reducing mental stimulation and increasing the risk of dementia.
- Cognitive Overload: Struggling to hear can put extra strain on the brain, diverting resources from memory and thinking functions.
- Brain Structure Changes: Long-term hearing loss can cause changes in brain structure, impacting areas involved in memory and cognition.
- Regular Hearing Tests: Early detection and management of hearing loss can reduce the risk of cognitive decline.
- Hearing Aids: Using hearing aids to address hearing loss can improve communication, social interaction, and cognitive function.
- Active Lifestyle: Staying socially active and mentally engaged can help protect cognitive health.
How much do hearing aids cost?
At Owl Hearing Clinic, we’re committed to transparent pricing for our hearing aids. You can find all our prices easily on our website. For an in-depth look at our hearing aid costs, [click here]. For a quick overview: after OHIP coverage, the complete cost of a hearing aid along with all included services is between $1,2500 to $2,750 per ear. This is, on average, $500-$1,000 less than many of our competitors. The price you see is what you pay, covering everything from dispensing/fitting services to batteries, warranties, and follow-up appointments.
Does OHIP cover the cost of hearing aids?
Yes, for all Ontario residents, OHIP offers partial coverage for hearing aids under the Assistive Devices Program (ADP). This program grants $500 per ear, available once every 2-5 years as needed. Owl Hearing Clinic will provide all the forms you need and will direct bill OHIP so you won’t need to wait for reimbursement.
What is the difference between an Audiologist and a Hearing Specialist?
Audiologists in Ontario hold either a Master’s or Doctoral degree in Audiology, which involves extensive training in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of hearing and balance disorders for children and adults including hearing aids and assistive listening devices. They are licensed and regulated healthcare professionals governed under the College of Speech Language Pathologists and Audiologists (CASLPO).
Hearing Instrument Specialists on the other hand are able to complete their education immediately after high school at a college offering the program. Their focus is testing hearing and fitting, servicing, and maintenance of hearing aids in the adult population. They are non-regulated professionals.
In order to access OHIP coverage for hearing aids through the Assistive Device Program (ADP), hearing aids must be prescribed by either a licensed physician or a registered audiologist. Most private insurance benefit plans require a prescription from a licensed physician or a registered audiologist in order to access coverage.
How much does ear wax removal cost?
Ear wax removal at Owl Hearing Clinic costs $80 for both ears, and is covered under most private insurance plans under Audiology.
What types of hearing aids are available, and how do I choose the right one?
Did you know that most large hearing aid clinic chains are owned by hearing aid manufacturers?

Whether you’re looking for small, nearly invisible hearing aids or more powerful options for more severe hearing loss, we have you covered. We also carry the latest 2025 models featuring rechargeable batteries and wireless connectivity. Our team is dedicated to educating you about all available options, ensuring you find the perfect hearing aid that meets your listening goals and fits within your budget.
