If you’ve typed “hearing test near me” into Google, you’re in the right place. Edmonton Hearing Clinic offers hearing tests in Edmonton at two locations, plus mobile in-home visits, across Edmonton and the surrounding area.
Do I need a referral for a hearing test?
No. You can book a hearing test directly with us, no doctor’s referral required. In Alberta, you can see a registered audiologist without going through your family doctor first. That means you can call, fill out our contact form, and have an appointment within days rather than waiting weeks for a referral letter.
What does a hearing test include?
A typical appointment takes about 30 to 45 minutes and includes:
- An ear-health check (including a look for earwax)
- Full audiometric testing across the range of speech sounds
- A clear, plain-language explanation of your results
- Honest recommendations, with no pressure to buy anything
Your audiologist will test your hearing inside a sound-treated booth using calibrated clinical equipment. This is very different from an online screener or a phone app, which can only give you a rough estimate. A proper audiogram maps your hearing thresholds across multiple frequencies, so you get a complete picture of what you can and cannot hear clearly.
If earwax is blocking the ear canal, it can throw off your results. We offer ear wax removal for $30 per ear, so a blockage does not have to send you somewhere else first.
Where can I get a hearing test near me?
We serve the whole Edmonton region from two convenient northeast locations, and we travel to homes for those who can’t come in:
- 97 North, serving north and northeast Edmonton, Killarney, Belvedere and Clareview
- Beverly, serving Beverly, Rundle and Abbottsfield
- Sherwood Park, St. Albert, and Fort Saskatchewan, a short drive away, or ask about a mobile visit
Can’t make it to a clinic?
Our mobile hearing care service brings the full clinical test to your home anywhere in the Edmonton metro area. We carry the same calibrated equipment used in our clinics, so you get the same quality assessment without leaving your living room. Mobile visits are especially popular with seniors, shift workers, and anyone with mobility challenges.
Who should get a hearing test?
If you’re turning the TV up, asking people to repeat themselves, or straining in noisy rooms, it’s worth checking. See the 5 early signs of hearing loss.
Beyond those everyday signs, a hearing test is a smart idea if you:
- Work or have worked in a noisy environment (construction, manufacturing, oil and gas, music venues)
- Are over 50 and have not had your hearing checked in the past few years
- Notice ringing or buzzing in your ears (tinnitus often shows up alongside hearing loss)
- Recently had an ear infection, head injury, or started a new medication
- Want a baseline result on file before any gradual changes go unnoticed
Hearing loss tends to develop slowly. Most people wait an average of seven years before seeking help, and by that point the brain has already started adjusting to a quieter world. Getting tested early gives you more options and better outcomes.
How much does a hearing test cost in Edmonton?
Costs vary depending on the clinic and the type of assessment. Call any of our clinics for current pricing. Coverage depends on your plan, so ask us or your insurer what yours includes. We are happy to walk you through your options before your appointment so there are no surprises.
If you are filing a workplace hearing loss claim through WCB Alberta, ask WCB what your claim covers. Our guide explains how the claim process works.
What happens after your hearing test?
Once testing is complete, your audiologist will sit down with you and go through the audiogram in plain language. If your hearing falls within normal range, you will leave with a baseline on file and the peace of mind that comes with knowing for certain.
If the results show a hearing loss, your audiologist will explain the type and degree, then walk you through your options. That might include hearing aids, assistive devices, communication strategies, or simply monitoring the change over time. There is never any pressure to make a decision on the spot.
