What if better hearing didn’t start in a clinic, but in your own living room? For many, hearing is more than sound; it’s connection, independence and confidence. Yet, accessing care can be frustrating or downright impossible for those with mobility issues, busy schedules or living in remote areas.

That’s where Ears To You steps in, with its fully-equipped mobile clinic that's changing the way people access hearing care by meeting you where you're most comfortable: at home.

The mobile service removes the stress of travel, waiting rooms and scheduling struggles, providing state-of-the-art diagnostic tools and a sound booth just like a clinic. They bring everything needed for comprehensive hearing assessments, hearing aid fittings, adjustments, counselling and follow-up care.

"The beauty of mobile hearing care is that we’ve removed almost every barrier to getting help,"
says Katie Daroogheh, lead audiologist, with Ears To You.

"We come to you, on your schedule, with the same professional care you’d receive in a clinic. It’s convenient, it’s personalized and it can change your life. And what surprises people the most is they don’t have to take time off work, find parking or travel far — especially beneficial for seniors and busy families.”

Benefits of a mobile clinic

Ears To You offers a calmer, more private and more convenient option, especially important for seniors or if you suffer from anxiety, mobility challenges or just have a busy schedule. It also allows the audiologist to observe your real-life listening environment, leading to better recommendations.

"We also emphasize that aftercare doesn’t end with the first visit," says Daroogheh. "We provide ongoing support through follow-up appointments, remote adjustments when possible and direct access to an audiologist for any concerns. This ensures you receive the same professional care, if not better, because it’s more convenient and personalized to your lifestyle."

Unlike many larger traditional hearing clinics that are often owned by hearing aid manufacturers and primarily sell their own brand of devices, Ears To You is proudly independent. This means our audiologists have access to every hearing aid on the market and the freedom to recommend what’s truly best for you—not what’s best for the company. It’s personalized care, with your hearing needs at the center.

What to expect from your mobile clinic experience

When the audiologist sees you in your home, it gives them a unique perspective they can’t get in a clinic setting. They're able to observe your real-world listening situations, whether it’s background noise in the kitchen, soft conversations in the living room or difficulties hearing the TV.

This allows them to identify specific challenges that might not come up in a quiet clinic environment. They also fine-tune hearing aids on the spot for the exact spaces where you spend the most time and provide practical strategies and education to help you communicate better with family members in your daily routine.

"Ultimately, this approach ensures that care is highly personalized and truly effective in the settings that matter most," adds Daroogheh.

We can also complete all hearing testing in our fully equipped mobile clinic, right in your driveway—perfect if you'd prefer the convenience or if the home setting isn’t ideal for testing. We provide flexible options, always with your hearing health as our top priority.

Enhance your quality of life

For many people, the hardest part of hearing care isn’t accepting they need help, it’s figuring out how to get it. Sometimes, all it takes is a change in setting to change everything.

Daroogheh recounts a time when one of their clients on Bowen Island had avoided getting hearing help for years because travelling to a clinic was stressful and time-consuming.

"When we brought our mobile service to her home, she told us, ‘I can’t believe I didn’t do this sooner.’ After fitting her with hearing aids and fine-tuning them in her living room, she was able to hear her grandchildren clearly for the first time in years. She called it ‘life-changing,’" recalls Daroogheh. "Moments like that remind us why mobile care matters.”

Just one home visit led to an increase in quality of life and a breakthrough that brought a family closer together.

"We’re seeing growing awareness that hearing health is closely linked to cognitive function, emotional well-being and overall quality of life," says Daroogheh. "As that understanding deepens, mobile audiology will continue to expand because it removes key barriers like transportation and time constraints."

With direct-to-door service, a hearing check-up has never been easier; there's no more second-guessing what you might be missing.

"Don’t wait," Daroogheh advises. "Untreated hearing loss doesn’t just affect your ability to hear, it impacts your relationships, your confidence and even your brain health. The sooner you address it, the better your outcome."

"If you’ve been putting off a hearing check, now is the time. Your future self will thank you."
