After Care Bundle
At Toronto Hearing Services, your journey doesn’t end when you leave with your hearing aids. Our comprehensive After Care Bundle ensures your hearing health and cognitive function are actively protected for years to come.
This evidence-based approach addresses the critical connection between hearing loss and relevant health risk including dementia, providing ongoing support that goes far beyond standard hearing clinic services in Toronto.
Key Takeaways
Ongoing auditory training maximizes hearing aid benefits and reduces adjustment frustration.
- Proactive monitoring catches hearing changes early for timely interventions.
- Annual cognitive tracking helps detect dementia risks linked to hearing loss.
What's Included in Your After Care Bundle
Auditory Training Progress Check
Your brain needs time to adapt to improved hearing. Our audiologists in Toronto supervise regular auditory training progress assessments to ensure your auditory system is developing maximum benefit from your hearing aids. When you’re enrolled in the training, we:
When you’re enrolled in the training, we:
- Evaluate speech recognition improvement in challenging listening environments
- Assess changes in your ability to distinguish sounds in noisy settings like restaurants and social gatherings
- Monitor tinnitus management progress for patients experiencing ringing, buzzing, or phantom sounds
- Adjust auditory training prescription based on your needs and goals
Research shows that structured auditory training significantly improves hearing aid outcomes and reduces the frustration many people experience during the adjustment period.
Proactive Monitoring of Hearing Changes
Hearing loss is progressive, and early detection of changes is crucial for preventing further decline. Your After Care Bundle includes systematic hearing test monitoring to:
- Track hearing changes across all frequency ranges with comprehensive audiometric testing
- Identify new risk factors before they cause significant damage
- Update your hearing treatment based on your latest hearing profile
This proactive hearing assessment approach ensures we catch problems early—when intervention is most effective. Read more about the standard hearing test that we utilize for regular monitoring.
Annual Cognitive Performance Tracking
This is where our approach differs from regular Toronto hearing clinics. Untreated hearing loss increases dementia risk by 200-500%, depending on severity. Even with hearing aids, ongoing cognitive monitoring is essential to ensure that you are in the know.
With our annual cognitive testing, we are able to partner with you in early detection of concerns that warrant additional neurological consultation by documenting changes in your memory and cognitive functions.
