You might notice…

IT’S NOT JUST YOU.

hard to hear group conversations icon

Keeping up in group conversations feels more difficult than it once did.

hard to hear restaurants icon

Restaurants leave you tired, well fed, and disconnected from the conversation.

replaying conversations icon

You think back and wonder what you missed.

SMILE AND NOD

You laugh a moment too late or nod along so you don’t feel exposed.

hearing is hard and draining icon

By the end of the day, you feel mentally and emotionally exhausted.

avoiding situations hard to hear

You’ve begun avoiding people or places you used to enjoy.

These signs cannot reveal what type of hearing loss you may have or whether hearing aids are appropriate. A diagnostic hearing test in Vancvouer can explain what is happening and which options may make sense for you.

You’re exhausted from trying to keep up.

Missing pieces of conversations can make meals, appointments, work, and time with the people you care about feel more difficult than they should.

You do not have to navigate hearing care on your own.

After more than 30 years of wearing hearing aids, Michelle Stewart created Hearing Empowered™ to help people connect with care she would trust herself. In Vancouver, Burnaby, and Surrey, that clinic is Sonaris Ear Center.

I’m Michelle. I understand why choosing the right clinic matters.

Hearing Empowered Michelle

I have worn hearing aids for more than 30 years.

I know how important it is to have an audiologist who takes the time to understand your hearing, your daily life, and the situations where listening matters most.

They guide you through your first fittings and fine-tuning, help you get comfortable with your hearing aids, and continue supporting you as your hearing changes, technology advances, and your listening needs evolve.

Hearing Empowered carefully chooses the clinics we introduce to our community.

We recommend clinics we would feel confident trusting with our own hearing care.

For Vancouver, Burnaby, and Surrey, I selected Sonaris Ear Center.

Real People. Real Stories. Real Change.

Michelle has worn hearing aids since childhood. Steve only discovered his hearing loss recently. They came to hearing care from different places, used different technology, and experienced hearing well in very different ways. Between the two of us, there’s a good chance we understand the version you’re living now.

Common Questions

Yes. A complete diagnostic hearing assessment with one of Sonaris Ear Center’s audiologists is $100.

Hearing tests can vary considerably. Some free tests available in Vancouver, Burnaby, and Surrey are brief screenings that check whether possible hearing loss is present. Sonaris provides a full diagnostic assessment designed to build a detailed picture of how your hearing system is functioning.

The assessment measures the type and degree of hearing loss, how clearly you understand speech, the effort required to listen, and your overall auditory health. The findings can also indicate whether medical follow-up may be appropriate and provide the information needed for accurate hearing aid recommendations and programming.

When hearing aids are recommended, diagnostic results give the audiologist a precise starting point for fitting and adjusting them. The quality of the fitting plays a major role in how well hearing aids perform in everyday life.

These appointments require more time and specialized equipment than a basic screening. Your audiologist will explain the findings clearly, connect them to the situations where you’re having difficulty, and answer your questions. Sonaris believes clear pricing and careful, individualized care should begin with your first appointment.

Their appointments start with a conversation. The audiologist takes time to learn what brought you in, where you spend the most time listening, and what has been changing in everyday life. You may have noticed people sounding less clear, trouble following conversations in restaurants, the TV getting louder, feeling worn out after social situations, or ringing in your ears. These details help build a fuller picture because hearing changes can affect each person differently.

The audiologist then completes a comprehensive diagnostic hearing assessment that looks at hearing clarity, speech understanding, and how the auditory system is functioning overall. Testing may include hearing thresholds, middle ear measurements, speech testing, acoustic reflexes, and other measures that help explain how sound is being processed. Tinnitus can also be assessed as part of the appointment.

After the testing, the audiologist reviews the results with you in clear, everyday language. You’ll learn what the findings show, how they relate to the listening situations you find difficult, and why hearing in noise or keeping up with conversation may require so much effort.

The appointment finishes with a discussion about what makes sense from here. Some people may only need to track their hearing over time. Others may benefit from communication strategies, tinnitus care, or hearing technology. When hearing aids are recommended, the focus includes comfort, proper fitting, the places where you need to hear well, and the ongoing support that helps them work well over time.

Sonaris Ear Center is independently owned and led by audiologists. Recommendations are shaped by your hearing, daily routines, listening needs, and comfort, with access to technology from multiple manufacturers. The priority is careful fitting, consistent follow-up, and hearing care that continues as your needs change.

Most people don’t wake up one day and suddenly realize they have hearing loss. It usually shows up as extra effort. Conversations feel tiring. Restaurants get harder. You keep asking people to repeat themselves, or you smile and fill in the blanks. If hearing is taking more energy than it used to, it’s probably worth booking a hearing evaluation.

Many people who visit Sonaris Ear Center feel they can still hear reasonably well. What has often changed is how much concentration it takes to follow conversations and understand every word.

You may find yourself working harder in restaurants, meetings, family dinners, or group settings. Social situations might leave you mentally tired. You may lose parts of conversations when there is background noise or rely on context to piece together what someone said. It can feel like your brain is running an extra shift every time people start talking.

Hearing changes often affect speech clarity before the world begins to sound noticeably quiet or muffled. Your brain fills in missing sounds, anticipates words, and works constantly to keep the conversation moving. That effort can become draining over time.

A baseline hearing assessment can still be useful when hearing aids are not currently recommended. It shows where your hearing sits today and gives your audiologist a reliable point of comparison for the future. Hearing often changes so gradually that people adjust without realizing how much extra work listening has started to require.

When hearing support is appropriate, hearing aids can help reduce that daily strain. The aim reaches beyond volume. Good hearing care can make conversations feel clearer, easier, and far less exhausting from morning through evening.

Yes. Sonaris Ear Center offers free* hearing aid trials so you can experience how hearing support feels in the places where you actually spend your time.

You can wear them at home, in restaurants, during conversations, while watching television, at work, or while spending time with family and friends. The purpose is to find out whether they make listening feel easier, clearer, and less tiring in the environments that matter most to you.

Your audiologist can make adjustments throughout the trial so the hearing aids are fine-tuned for comfort, clarity, and the listening situations you encounter every day.

Michelle selects independent clinics that reflect the values behind Hearing Empowered™: careful clinical work, individualized recommendations, clear explanations, thoughtful follow-up, and an understanding that hearing loss affects far more than the results shown on an audiogram.

For Vancouver, Burnaby, and Surrey, she selected Sonaris Ear Center.

Sonaris is independently owned and audiologist-led, with clinics designed around ongoing hearing care rather than a single appointment or hearing aid purchase. Their audiologists take time to understand each person’s hearing, lifestyle, communication needs, and the situations where listening has become more difficult.

That approach matters to Michelle because she has spent more than thirty years wearing hearing aids. She knows that good hearing care depends on the relationship you build with your audiologist over time. The first fitting is only the beginning. Hearing aids often need adjustments as you adapt, your hearing changes, and real life reveals where more support is needed.

Sonaris also offers technology from multiple manufacturers, allowing recommendations to be shaped around the person rather than a limited product line. Their focus includes accurate testing, careful fitting, speech clarity, comfort, follow-up, and helping people hear more easily in the places that make up their actual lives.

Michelle was looking for a clinic that understood the work happening behind the scenes when someone is trying to follow a conversation. The concentration. The guessing. The fatigue after dinner with friends. The quiet decision to stop going somewhere because hearing there has become too hard.

Those everyday experiences are central to Hearing Empowered™. We want people to find hearing care that recognizes the full impact of hearing loss and provides the clinical expertise, time, and continued support required to make hearing feel easier.

Sonaris Ear Center became our recommended hearing clinic for Vancouver, Burnaby, and Surrey because its approach closely reflects that vision.
