Where to Get Hearing Aids in Edmonton — 2026 Local Guide
A practical guide to hearing aid clinics in Edmonton — where to book a free test, what to expect at your fitting, and the trusted local clinics we recommend.
Losing a bit of your hearing sneaks up on you — you turn the TV up, ask people to repeat themselves, or start avoiding busy restaurants. A proper hearing test takes about 30 minutes, is free at most Edmonton clinics, and gives you a real answer.
What a hearing test involves
You sit in a small sound-treated room. The clinician plays tones at different frequencies and volumes; you press a button when you hear one. Then a quick speech-in-noise test — repeating words at varying loudness. Total time: 20–30 minutes. You leave with a report showing your hearing across each ear.
Where to book in Edmonton
- Medicine Place Hearing Care — 97 St North at 13514 97 St NW is the flagship clinic. Free hearing tests, hearing aid fittings, and repairs. The team is quiet, patient, and unhurried — regulars come back for years.
- Medicine Place Hearing Care East (Beverly) at 4243 118 Ave NW covers the northeast side of the city. Same team, same standard of care.
Choosing a hearing aid
Modern aids are almost invisible — behind-the-ear models with a thin wire, or fully in-canal. What matters more than the shape is:
- Speech-in-noise performance — how well it handles restaurants, crowds
- Bluetooth streaming — for phone calls and TV
- Rechargeable vs battery — rechargeable is simpler if you have dexterity issues
Ask the clinic for a trial period. Most reputable clinics will let you wear a set for 30–60 days.
When to go
Any time your hearing changes noticeably. Don't wait years — untreated hearing loss is linked to cognitive decline and social isolation. A free 30-minute test on a Tuesday morning is the easiest first step.
