Recent research suggests that improving hearing loss with hearing aids reduces the risk for Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. In 2011, a team of Johns Hopkins medical school researchers discovered a significant association between hearing loss and the risk of developing these unwanted cognitive conditions. The worse someone’s hearing gets, the greater their risk of developing these unwanted cognitive conditions. The worse someone’s hearing gets, the greater their risk of developing Alzheimer’s or dementia. The researchers believe their findings could have substantial implications for individuals and public health because hearing loss is treatable with hearing instruments. These findings underscore how important regular hearing tests are as part of preventative health care.

The key piece of information I took from the Dementia webinar was the information provided about the difference between dementia and alzheimer’s disease. I found it informative and would attend again.

Jennifer is amazing. She came to our home to test my great Aunt & Uncle’s hearing. They are both disabled and unable to leave the house. We ordered hearing aids for Auntie, and had a little difficulty from the supplier but Jennifer quickly solved the problem. She followed up to make sure everything went well. She went out of her way to provide hearing aids for Uncle. She was patient, understanding and very accommodating. I really appreciate everything she did for us. Thank you.

Hearing loss can be a tricky subject to address with elderly folks. I’ve had a hard time getting my parents on board - at first they seemed in denial and then afraid of the cost. I finally got them to agree to a test and Jennifer came this week. Her professionalism and patience were so appreciated. She is very sensitive to the feelings of those with hearing loss - elderly or otherwise. Her extensive knowledge and years of experience as well as her kind and empathetic nature made the process much better than I anticipated. And the unique service or coming to the hone makes such a difference for those with mobility issues. I highly recommend Jennifer and the team at Hear at Home.

Jennifer was incredibly helpful to my mother (new client) and I on very short notice. today. She was warm and friendly, thorough and informative, efficient and very fair. We were grateful to learn new hearing aids were not needed, just some cleaning (which she demonstrated clearly) and recalibrating, following a hearing test. I would definitely recommend her business to anyone with mobility issues or privacy concerns or just wanting someone in the business of hearing and hearing support on their side, not beholden to a single manufacturer.

I can't say enough about Jennifer and her team. All very easy to speak with and the response is always timely - from setting up an initial consult, hearing test, moulds for ear piece/s and if necessary, taking another mould to ensure the best fit, followup with warranty issues. In particular, all this can be done in-home which helps with meeting the needs of those who can't get to their location.

My mom has hearing impairment that must have been there for a long time but got overlooked, she recently moved into a nursing home in Richmond. We were in the market looking for getting her ear properly tested and find a device that fits both her hearing needs and our budget. My mom has limited mobility so finding out Hear At Home Mobile clinic will come to her is absolutely thrilled. Jennifer responded promptly upon my initial inquiry and appointment was setup within a week. Jennifer is very friendly, patience and accommodating with my mom when testing her (mom doesn’t speaks any English). She explains in detail the test results, types of option available out there, and help us make an informed decision with her professional expertise and experience. Jennifer even goes to extra miles to provide alternative consultation via video call to walk me through the steps trouble shooting and resetting the device after we started using it for 2 months. I explained and showed her the device condition on the video call, she was able to give a diagnosis as well as guide me through the reset process. In just a few minutes the issue was resolved. It was just a technical glitch and a hard reset is all it takes for it to return to working mode again. Jennifer is certainly professional and resourceful. We have an exceptional positive experience with Hear At Home Mobile Hearing Clinic and Jennifer is amazing helping us during the entire course, we would highly recommend her service to anyone who needs hearing aids to be fitted with a caring professional.

Thanks to Hear at Home Mobile Hearing Clinic and Jennifer Abbott my 94-year-old mother is hearing better than she has in years and is enjoying it. Despite the fact that I live in Victoria and my mother lives in Vancouver, Jennifer made it easy for me make all the arrangements from a distance. Jennifer: • deals well with the elderly and cares about her clients • takes charge and manages all the details • is very thorough: she gave me regular updates by telephone and email on how she was progressing. She emailed me photographs of the devices we had purchased so I could inspect the product. • made a video clip – and posted it on YouTube – that illustrated how the hearing aids were functioning with my mother and giving very clear instructions on how to use the external microphone accessory we ordered, and demonstrating its effectiveness. This has been invaluable. I sent the YouTube link to family and friends and now they all know how to use the microphone when they visit. Jennifer is filling an important niche for people who are homebound or have limited mobility. She went the extra distance to make it easy for me to remotely arrange for improved hearing for my mother. And she delivered results! Darrell Victoria

What an incredible experience- Jennifer’s caring, knowledgeable & professional approach was amazing! We recently had our mom fitted with hearing aids, and with Jennifer’s expertise, the process was smoother & more positive than we could ever expect- from choosing the product to offering advice & guidance for all of us. Most importantly she helped our mom feel comfortable & the result has been truly life-changing. Cannot recommend Hear At Home more highly!! Thank you 🙂

A few years back I met up with Jennifer and she recommended and fitted me with a crossover hearing aid system. It was amazing and emotional to find and hear my voice again after a 40 year hearing loss. Jennifer continues to support me and my hearing and hearing aid needs with such professional and unique finesse, even though I now live on the island. Hear at Home is a leader in their industry and Jennifer is an amazing person to work with.
