A New Way to Take Charge of Your Hearing Health: Flagship World of Hearing Now Open in the GTA
TORONTO, May 17, 2023 /CNW/ - Hearing loss hurts Canadians' physical, mental and economic health, yet low awareness and limited access have kept many from taking care of their hearing. That's why Connect Hearing is bringing a whole new way for people to look after their hearing health to Toronto and the GTA.
Connect Hearing, the #1 physician-referred hearing healthcare provider in Canada, is excited to announce the opening of World of Hearing—Canada's first flagship hearing health store in Ontario, at 1963 Yonge Street, Toronto.
World of Hearing is an innovative, modernized concept in hearing health that puts clients' needs at the forefront. It empowers people to take control of their hearing health, at their own pace, with direct access to more transparent hearing information, new immersive learning tools, and support from hearing care professionals.
Examples of the innovations clients can expect at World of Hearing include:
- A Self-Screening Station—where clients can do an independent hearing test and receive immediate results.
- An Impact Wall and Touch Tables—from hearing protection to hearing aids, with the help of the interactive LED Impact Wall and the multimedia Touch Tables, people can get all the product information they need in no time at all.
- The Experience Room—allowing clients to interactively experience how a hearing solution could help them by presenting real-life situations via large-screen video with 5.1 surround sound. Family members can also experience a simulation of hearing loss to understand the impact it has on their loved ones.
- The ultimate in convenience—no referral or appointment is necessary. Visitors can drop in when it works for them.
World of Hearing builds on the global hearing health store concept introduced by Sonova, the world's leading provider of innovative hearing care solutions. "Allowing today's clients to customize their experience helps reduce barriers to addressing hearing loss," shares Lilika Beck, Managing Director, Connect Hearing Canada. "This new flagship store will empower clients on their journey of discovery and provide support with all their hearing health needs including hearing technology and hearing protection, and access to the world's most advanced hearing care including tinnitus therapy, balance treatment and more."
