"Amazing and awesome experience! I have had the pleasure of getting service from Dr. Reza Ataee on two occasions. On the first he came in on a holiday to repair my hearing aid and order a new one and the second when I lost one of them. He was awesome and had a replacement hearing aid sent out within 48 hours - incredible service. I highly recommend Quantum Hearing Clinic!"

This simple and painless test helps understand how well you're hearing everything around you. Just like a health check with a doctor, a hearing test catches any little changes in your hearing. Your expert audiologist will guide you through some listening exercises, paying special attention to how you hear different sounds. And here's the best part: once you know what's happening with your hearing, we can work together to develop a plan, including options like hearing aids or a treatment strategy, aiming to enhance the clarity of the sounds you experience. So, if you've been curious about your hearing or want to make sure you're not missing out on conversations, music, and all the amazing sounds, a hearing test is like an adventure to uncover the magic of sound waiting for you.

Types Of Hearing Loss
Ⓐ
Conductive Hearing Loss
Conductive hearing loss occurs when there is a problem in the outer or middle ear that prevents sound from reaching the inner ear. Common causes include earwax buildup, fluid accumulation, ear infections, and structural abnormalities. In most cases, conductive hearing loss is treatable through medical intervention or surgery.
Ⓑ
Sensorineural Hearing Loss
Sensorineural hearing loss results from damage to the inner ear or the auditory nerve pathways to the brain. This type of hearing loss is often irreversible and can be caused by factors such as aging, noise exposure, genetics, and certain medical conditions or medications. Sensorineural hearing loss can impact a person's ability to hear faint sounds and comprehend speech clearly.
Ⓒ
Mixed Hearing Loss
Mixed hearing loss is a combination of both conductive and sensorineural hearing loss. It occurs when there is damage or impairment in both the outer/middle ear and the inner ear/auditory nerve. Treatment depends on the specific causes and may involve a combination of medical intervention and hearing aids.

The Dangers of Using Amplifiers Without an Audiologist's Prescription
Using amplifiers without the guidance and expertise of an audiologist can lead to serious risks. These devices lack the tailored approach of hearing aids, potentially causing over-amplification that damages your hearing further, unclear sound amplification that hampers communication, and the inability to address underlying issues. Moreover, inconsistent performance, feedback problems, and the absence of customization can result in unsatisfactory experiences. To ensure your hearing health and overall well-being, it's crucial to consult with a licensed audiologist for proper evaluation and recommendations.

Types of Hearing Aids
BTE
Behind-the-Ear Hearing Aids
Behind-the-Ear hearing aids rest comfortably behind the ear and connect to the ear canal via a thin tube or ear mold. BTEs are versatile and suitable for various degrees of hearing loss. They offer excellent amplification and often house advanced features like noise reduction and directional microphones.
RIC
Receiver-in-Canal Hearing Aids
Receiver-in-Canal hearing aids have a behind-the-ear component connected to an earpiece that rests in the ear canal. This design offers a natural sound experience, with the receiver placed closer to the eardrum. RICs are suitable for various degrees of hearing loss and often include wireless connectivity options.
ITE
In-the-Ear Hearing Aids
In-the-Ear hearing aids are custom-molded to fit inside the outer ear. They are discreet and can be comfortably worn throughout the day. ITEs are popular for their ease of use and can accommodate mild to moderately severe hearing loss.
ITC
In-the-Canal Hearing Aids
In-the-Canal hearing aids are smaller than ITEs and fit partially into the ear canal. They offer a more inconspicuous option while providing decent amplification for mild to moderate hearing loss.
CIC
Completely-in-Canal Hearing Aids
Completely-in-Canal hearing aids are virtually invisible as they fit entirely inside the ear canal. They're an ideal choice for those seeking a discreet solution for mild to moderate hearing loss. Due to their size, they may have fewer additional features.
IIC
Invisible-in-Canal Hearing Aids
Invisible-in-Canal hearing aids are the smallest and most discreet option, fitting deeply inside the ear canal. They're custom-made to ensure a snug fit, making them virtually invisible to others. IICs are designed for mild to moderate hearing loss and may not have all the features of larger models.
Sudden Hearing Loss
Sudden Hearing Loss refers to the rapid and unexpected loss of hearing ability in one or both ears within a short period, often occurring over a few hours or days. This condition can be distressing and requires immediate attention from your audiologist in Vancouver. Acting promptly within the first 72 hours may lead to signs of restored hearing ability for some individuals. However, in certain cases, hearing may not fully recover, and the need for hearing aids may arise.
