A Personal Message From Annette Cross, BC-HIS

Yet the truth is — from helping thousands of local people to achieve better hearing — that it’s actually often a sign that you’ve lived an abundant and experience-rich life that your ears have struggled to keep up with.
At Provincial Hearing, we have had the pleasure of helping incredible local people to regain their hearing, reconnect with what they love, and continue to bring their best selves to the world for over 50 years.

Ways We Can Help
COMPREHENSIVE HEARING ASSESSMENTS
When Was Your Last Hearing Test?
The large majority of people with a hearing challenge simply need a helping hand – they don’t need a doctor to conduct a multi-point inspection, test their balance, or check their cognition. Instead, they just require a little bit of amplification and support.
By having your hearing evaluated by hearing instrument specialists, it ensures that you partner with a team that understands your needs and you don’t end up paying for things that you do not need.
With hearing loss being incredibly prominent yet hearing testing still being a low priority for many people, we’re passionate about raising awareness for the importance of regular hearing testing.
HEARING TECHNOLOGY
Access to All Levels of Hearing Technology Based on Your Unique Needs and Circumstances
Today’s hearing technology is very different to the large, clunky devices that you may remember your grandparents wearing.
They’re very powerful, connect with all of your other technology, and are highly discreet. In fact, some patients have even shared that nobody has even noticed that they’re wearing them!
However, there is never a “one size fits all” – that’s why our team spends time with you to understand your needs, your unique circumstances, your lifestyle, and your budget.
With President Annette Cross being nominated to sit on the International Board as Canadian Governor for Hearing Instrument Sciences, and also serving a third term as the president of the International Hearing Society – you’ll be working with a team that has some of the most respected hearing aid experts in the world.
EARWAX REMOVAL
Nova Scotia’s Earwax Removal Specialists
Earwax is a natural substance that your body produces to trap unwelcome dirt and dust. But when you have an over-accumulation of earwax (too much) or impacted earwax, then it can cause many challenges.
The causes of impacted earwax can vary, but the most common reason is using cotton swabs to attempt to “clean” your ears. That just leads to the earwax being pushed deeper into your canal, leading to a buildup or blockage.
Although there are many myths and misconceptions about removing earwax, the safest and most effective way is to work with a hearing care professional.
With the latest equipment and video otoscopes, we can show you what is lurking within your ears and then effortlessly remove it in a quick and pain-free way.
