Purchasing a set of hearing aids shouldn’t be a financial risk. We have all heard stories about people who put their hearing aids in a drawer and never take them out again, or people who take their hearing aids out of their ears when things get noisy. This is a big investment for you, and North Star Hearing respects that investment. We want to ensure that you are fully satisfied with your hearing aid purchase, and we want you to tell everyone you know how much you love them!

Free Hearing Aid Trials

All of our hearing aids come with a minimum 30-day trial period, which we can extend if needed. This free trial allows you to bring your hearing aids home and into your unique daily world and ensure they are comfortable, beneficial, and worth your health investment.

Having a window of opportunity to try out your hearing aids without commitment allows you to ensure that the type and style of hearing aid you have chosen is the right fit. Not everyone has the same sound preferences, and part of our job is to ensure that we fit you with a device that works for you.

All of our hearing aids include:

An extensive warranty program with full hearing aid coverage
Complimentary batteries
Complimentary hearing aid care kit
Complimentary hearing aid accessories
Complimentary hearing aid clean & checks
Complimentary service appointments

While “test-driving” your new hearing aids, we recommend that you:

Wear the hearing aids as much as possible. Your brain needs time to get used to hearing all of life’s sounds again!
Bring them into different environments to see how they operate.
Test out Bluetooth streaming with your phone or tablet.
Come see us one or two weeks later for adjustments and to answer any questions you have.

Common concerns

Worried about what they’ll look like? We have gorgeous jewel and skin tone colours available, or we can help you find a nearly invisible hearing aid.
Worried about looking old with them on? Nodding in agreement to a conversation you can’t understand or feeling isolated in social situations is likely worse. Most even come with Bluetooth so that you can hear your TV or phone better!
Worried about the cost? We guarantee the lowest prices on the highest quality technology in Northern Alberta. We offer various options and prices and work with all major hearing aid companies. Plus, did you know that Albertans over the age of 65 are eligible for hearing aid coverage from the government? We can tell you how much.
Feel like you can wait until your hearing gets “really bad”? We even have research to support that correcting hearing loss can help fight early-onset dementia and Alzheimer’s (Bucholc et al., 2021). They can even reduce your risk of falling! Check out the latest large-population research study from the National Library of Medicine publication here.

We work with all medical hearing aid companies in Canada and with all types of hearing aids.

We”ll recommend what is best for your hearing loss, but we will outline your options – and we promise to keep it simple and easy! No matter where you bought your hearing aids or how they were paid for, if you have hearing aids from any other company, feel free to bring them to us for a complimentary cleaning and sound check.

Benefits

Hearing aids can provide many benefits for individuals with hearing loss.

Some of the most significant benefits include:

Social connections: Hearing aids can help improve your ability to hear and understand others, making social situations and communication with friends, family, and colleagues easier and more enjoyable.
Quality of life: Hearing loss can have a negative impact on your overall quality of life, including your relationships, emotional well-being, and mental health. By improving your hearing, hearing aids can help you feel more engaged and connected to the world around you.
Safety: Hearing aids can help you hear important sounds, such as a smoke alarm, a car horn, or a knock at the door, which can improve your safety in various situations. Flooded sinks often happen for people with hearing loss; the sound of running water is less apparent or gone altogether, and when those sounds are absent, it”s easier to forget.
Cognitive function: Research has shown that hearing loss can lead to cognitive decline, including memory loss and a reduced ability to process information. By treating your hearing loss with hearing aids, you may be able to prevent or slow down cognitive decline.
Physical health: Hearing loss has been linked to a number of physical health problems, including an increased risk of falls and other accidents, as well as depression and anxiety. By improving your hearing with hearing aids, you may be able to reduce your risk of these and other health problems.
