It’s International Cochlear Implant Day. 💙

Cochlear implants are hearing devices for children and adults with severe to profound hearing loss in one or both ears, especially when traditional hearing aids are no longer providing clear access to speech.

For some people, this technology opens up new pathways to sound, communication, and everyday participation.

If this sounds like you or someone you love, a conversation with your audiologist can help clarify whether cochlear implant candidacy is worth exploring.

Our team can guide you through the next steps and help arrange a referral to St. Paul’s Hospital for a full surgical and audiological assessment.

We are honoured to be featured in Canadian Audiologist, the official publication of the Canadian Academy of Audiology.

This article explores the real world diagnostic challenges of horizontal canal BPPV and introduces the Kurtzer Hybrid Maneuver, a practical approach designed for the complexity clinicians see every day. Balance concerns rarely arrive neatly packaged, and careful assessment, clinical reasoning, and experience matter deeply when someone feels dizzy, off balance, or unsure of their body in space.

Being included in a national publication grounded in advocacy, education, and research reflects how seriously we take our role as audiologists and how committed we remain to advancing care beyond the basics. It also speaks to the collaborative spirit of a profession that keeps learning, questioning, and refining how we support people through hearing and balance changes.

Thank you to the Canadian Academy of Audiology for continuing to elevate audiology across Canada, and to Canadian Audiologist for creating space for thoughtful, clinically relevant work.

Good balance care begins with careful listening and taking the time to understand what is really happening.

Dr. Claire Beldi is back from an unforgettable week in Denmark! 🇩🇰

She had the incredible opportunity to dive deep into the world of hearing care innovation — visiting Oticon’s Global Headquarters and the Eriksholm Research Centre, where groundbreaking studies focus on how the brain processes sound with and without hearing aids.

One highlight? Stepping inside an anechoic chamber — a completely silent room used for advanced hearing research!

Dr. Beldi also toured the production facility where Oticon hearing aids are made, explored a historic hearing aid museum, and met with the brilliant engineers and scientists behind Oticon’s cutting-edge technology.

Beyond the educational opportunities, she connected with fellow Canadian audiologists and soaked in the culture — biking through Copenhagen, enjoying a backstage tour of the Opera House, cruising the canals, and exploring Tivoli Gardens and Kronborg Castle. 🎢🚴‍♀️🎶

Dr. Beldi returns inspired, energized, and excited to bring the latest in hearing science back to our clinic. 👂💡

For those of you who haven’t been around the Lakeshore office in a while, our Audiologist Shandryn is expecting her second little girl! She’s heading on maternity leave in September and so we wanted to celebrate this next chapter with a little Baby Sprinkle Send-off. The night was filled with fun games, bib decorating, mocktail making and dips in the pool! What a blast! Shandryn, we are so excited for you and your growing family 💕🐣🌸🤰🏼💓👶🏼🎀🍼🌷

We’re excited to share that Jim was the lucky winner of our Hearing & Balance Expo draw! He’s now wearing a pair of Pure Charge&Go 7 BCT IX premium hearing aids—and already noticing a real difference.

A longtime hearing aid user, Jim transferred to our clinic looking for more personalized and elevated care. With his new hearing aids, his hearing has improved, he’s feeling more confident, and his tinnitus is noticeably less bothersome.

We’re so glad you found your way to us, Jim.

And to everyone who joined us at the Expo, thank you! It was a pleasure to connect with you, answer your questions, and share what better hearing care can feel like.

Reminder! Our Compassionate Care Giveaway winner will be contacted next week so stay tuned!
