Ears for Life
Over the years, ABC Children's Audiology (est. 2005) has evolved into Ears for Life. We are specialists in pediatric audiology but work with all ages. We have recently added Tinnitus Management. Presently, we offer audiologic services not provided elsewhere in private practice in Manitoba, such as Auditory Training Therapy and Auditory Processing Assessments.
Ears for Life still remains the only private practice in Manitoba to assess Auditory Processing abilities and the only option for Auditory Training Therapy.
Diagnostic Hearing Tests for Children
Regrettably, the waiting list for hearing assessments can be lengthy through the provincial audiology programs. Many parents decide to seek a hearing test privately but it can be difficult to find an audiologist in private practice willing or able to assess a small child. Many times it is due to equipment constraints. Ears for Life specializes in children and will assess younger then any private practice audiologist in the province.
Diagnostic Hearing Tests for Adults
Ears for Life also tests adults hearing. If you have had your hearing tested and you were told it was "normal" but you still struggle, you may have a functional hearing loss. An assessment at Ears for Life will differ from most hearing tests and investigate your concerns in a more in-depth manner.
If a medical specialist has requested a hearing test prior to an appointment, contact Ears for Life to set up an appointment.
First Nations Children
If you or your child is 17 years old and younger and identifies as First Nation with a Treaty Number or one parent with a Treaty Number, Ears for Life may be able to get our services covered through Jordan's Principle. Please contact for further details.
