Otoacoustic Emissions (OAEs)

November 12, 2014 tfhmahsa

Dear Readers,

I mention in my website that I can provide otoacoustic emission (OAE) testing in my clinic. In fact, I am one of very few private audiology clinics in the GTA with this capability. This is an area of practice that I am very excited about because it is so unique.

An otoacoustic emission (OAE) is a very soft sound that is generated by the inner ear. It can happen on its own or in response to a sound that we present to the ear through testing. If you have a healthy inner ear, then chances are your are producing OAEs.

The Basics of your Hearing Health

Dear Readers,

As an Audiologist I feel it is my responsibility to help the public better understand their hearing health. I started this blog to educate people about hearing health and what an Audiologist can do for them. I will focus my first post on the basics: 1) protect the hearing you have, and 2) deal with a hearing loss when one is identified.

Dear Readers,

If you were anywhere in the Roncesvalles area on September 13th or 14th you would have noticed one of Toronto’s largest street festivals in action — the 2014 Roncesvalles Polish Festival. Toronto Family Hearing was there with a booth in the centre of the action. We had lots of give aways (including hearing protection!) and a prize draw. Having recently opened our clinic this was our first time attending the festival. In between all the great food and rides many people found time to stop by the booth and ask questions about what we can do for them and their friends, family and children.
