HEARING INSTRUMENT SPECIALIST (S117)

The Hearing Instrument Specialist program provides students with the opportunity to study and develop clinical skills that will enable them to test hearing, select appropriate hearing instruments and dispense these aids to those in need. Skills are reinforced at our on-site WAVE Hearing Clinic. For applicants with a relevant degree or diploma, we offer an opportunity for advanced standing into 3rd semester of the program.

 

Hearing Instrument Specialist is a three-year, six-semester advanced diploma program that uses the latest technology to train students to work in this field.
As our population ages, there is greater demand for highly qualified hearing instrument specialists who can provide a client-centred approach to better hearing health care. Our vision is to be the leader in preparing hearing professionals with applied and academic skills and competencies.
Students will develop clinical skills that will enable them to not only test hearing, but to select and fit hearing aids.

Graduates will have a strong foundation in the theory and skills related to the hearing instrument sciences, such as:

• acoustics
• audiometric testing
• hearing aid technology
