Our mission is to enrich the lives of those in our community through our Hearing Aid Clinic in Chilliwack. Regaining your hearing can help you reconnect with loved ones and the world. With a focus on customer service and quality, we strive to enhance your auditory experience in the most natural and effortless way possible.
Fraser Valley Beltone offers thorough and precise hearing tests conducted by our certified audiologists right here at our clinic in the Sardis community of Chilliwack. Understanding your hearing health is the first step towards improving your quality of life, and we’re here to guide you with expertise and care.
At Beltone Fraser Valley, Chilliwack, understanding your hearing needs involves much more than just a basic hearing test. Our Registered Hearing Instrument Practitioners conduct a thorough, yet simple evaluation that encompasses your physical hearing, lifestyle, health, and hearing history, ensuring a holistic diagnosis.
Every individual in Chilliwack lives a unique lifestyle, and there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution to hearing care. Beyond measuring your hearing loss, we consider how you live your life. Whether you’re an outdoor enthusiast who frequents the Vedder River, enjoys watching the Grandkids play hockey at Sardis Sports Complex, or regularly visits Chilliwack’s bustling local restaurants, we want to hear about your experiences. These details help us customize a hearing solution that lets you fully enjoy these activities without distraction. Even the simple pleasure of watching TV can be hindered by hearing loss, but we’re here to restore the joy of your favourite activities.
Your overall health significantly impacts your hearing. Conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, and kidney disease can all contribute to hearing loss, as can certain medications. During your assessment at our Chilliwack clinic, we’ll discuss your health and any medications you’re taking to understand all factors affecting your hearing. Key questions we explore include exposure to loud noises, family history of hearing loss, symptoms like tinnitus or vertigo, and specific challenges you face in hearing men, women, or children in various environments.
After assessing your lifestyle and health history, we’ll administer a “test”– which is actually several tests that measure how well you hear a variety of sounds, such as tones and speech. A baseline hearing screening is recommended at age 50 unless you’re experiencing symptoms of hearing loss sooner. Tests will measure your ability to hear a range of sounds, from tones to speech. This includes:
After your evaluation, we’ll show you your results on an audiogram– a visual representation of the sounds you’re hearing and the sounds you’re missing. Your Chilliwack Beltone hearing care professional will review your lifestyle and hearing goals with you and provide you with an in-office hearing aid demonstration of the hearing aids right for you, should you need a hearing aid. Your hearing aid will be custom-fit and programmed for you. We’ll also provide follow-up care to ensure you enjoy the very best possible experience with your hearing aid.
