Test Your Ears at 60 Years
Y*ou’re 60, eh? (Don’t worry. You don’t have to disclose your age to us.) We just want you to know that The National Campaign for Better Hearing is an initiative with the simple, but lofty goal of providing a FREE hearing test to EVERY Canadian aged 60 and over. The reason is clear: research shows significant connections between hearing loss and other serious health problems like social withdrawal and isolation, depression, and mental fatigue. With nearly half of all Canadians over 60 suffering from hearing loss, this is a major issue.*
So, if you are 60 or older, make a hearing test part of your regular wellness protocol and treat hearing loss in its early stages. To find out more about how the National Campaign for Better Hearing is improving lives, click here.
Remember Hearing the News Through This?
4A lot has changed in the last 40 years...your hearing probably has too.
The National Campaign for Better Hearing was launched in 2014 to highlight the importance of hearing health and getting one’s hearing tested. Thanks to over 400 clinics sponsoring the Campaign nationwide, we have been able to provide FREE hearing tests to thousands of Canadians. Our goal? To provide a hearing test to every Canadian 60 years of age or older!

Give Back Program
Our Give Back program allows us to help people in need by providing brand new hearing aids to folks in our local communities. For every hearing test completed at one of our sponsor clinics, our sponsors will donate $4 to The Program. That means your test will provide $4 for the fund and so will your friend’s. The more people we test, the more people we help! See the stories of our Give Back program recipients.
