Independent hearing guidance for Canadians.
Good hearing care is more than a hearing test and a pair of devices. It is ongoing, relational care that changes with you.
Hearing Empowered™ helps Canadians understand their hearing, compare their options, know what good ongoing care should include, and find independent clinics we trust.
Created by Michelle Stewart from more than 30 years of lived experience with hearing loss, with clinical guidance from Doctors of Audiology Dr. Nichole Sorensen and Dr. Claire Beldi.
Our Vetted Hearing Care Partners
Hearing Empowered carefully evaluates independent clinics and recommends trusted clinic partners in selected regions.
Where Are You With Your Hearing Right Now?
Start with the situation closest to yours. You’ll find practical guidance on what may be happening, what to ask, and what good care should look like.
What We Look For in a Hearing Clinic
Good hearing care builds over time. We look for clinics that understand how you hear, test carefully, explain things clearly, and continue adjusting your care as your hearing and daily life change. View our full Gold Standards of Care.
Real People. Real Stories. Real Change.
Michelle has worn hearing aids since she was a kid. Steve had no idea he had hearing loss until recently. Different starting points, different technologies, completely different experiences of what it means to finally hear well. Between us, we’ve probably lived whatever version of this you’re in right now.
