ABOUT SOUND IDEARS

Our aim at Sound idEARS Hearing & Speech Clinic and the Vancouver Tinnitus & Hyperacusis Clinic is to provide the finest possible audiological and speech-language pathology services. By having our staff constantly trained in the newest treatment techniques by regularly attending conferences and workshops and by continually upgrading our equipment to state-of-the-art technology, we can ensure that our clients have the best care available to them. Since our inception, Sound idEARS Hearing & Speech Clinic in 1996 and the Vancouver Tinnitus & Hyperacusis Clinic in 1999, we’ve taken pride in offering a gestalt service to all our clients; we strongly believe that the treatment of a communication difficulty, whether it is a hearing, listening or speech impediment must address the complete person in order to be truly effective. In so doing, we consider ourselves much more than just a hearing aid dispensing clinic. We are one of the few clinics to offer complete audiological and speech-language pathology diagnostic and treatment services to individuals of all ages.
