Hearing aids don’t help you?
Poor benefit, poor fitting and comfort, poor performance? No improvement in speech understanding and listening comfort in background noise?
Hearing loss is overly complex, and it requires time and effort working with a practitioner to get the right fit, the right program, the right wearing schedule and learning curve to overcome years of auditory, linguistic and cognitive withdrawal. Your success depends on the treatment and rehabilitation process, not on the hearing aids themselves.
Your hearing aids don’t meet your expectations?
Try to find a practice you can trust. If you feel that your practitioner is consistently ignoring your concerns, find another clinic who will serve your needs.
Confused on how to get the best performance from your devices?
Technology is making tasks easier and less time-consuming, but the constant changes in technology can be confusing. We are here to answer your questions and teach you how to manage your devices. We will support you at all times, always.
Your friends miss hanging out with you…
Treated hearing loss significantly decreases loneliness, social anxiety, paranoia, social introversion, and distress.
They said you can’t have the job
Hearing loss can be a barrier to employment opportunities. Surveys found that unaided groups were unemployed at a higher rate than their aided peers, and employment income is directly related to the degree of hearing loss10.
Your son misses your road trip talks…
New technology is a great assistance in the car. Your son can speak into a wireless microphone, and his voice streams directly to your hearing aids. This makes you able to communicate, to laugh, to love, and to experience joy in all dimensions.
No more “Never mind!"
When they say ‘Never mind!’ before ignoring you, it can be frustrating. They become impatient, especially if they have to repeat things more than once. The first step towards overcoming this frustration is to admit defeat. Society accepted glasses for impaired vision, and it will accept the wearing of hearing aids
Hearing aids are not only an amplifier but also a reminder of impairment. Just as a yield sign on a road tells you to proceed with caution, hearing aids relieve you from frequently having to mention to strangers that your difficulty of hearing is due to your physical, not intellectual, defect.
Unable to hear is a disability and therefore excusable. Not listening is an intentional act and viewed as antisocial, unacceptable, and distressing.
They say “I love you” more often than you hear…
Hearing aids help you hear those sweet whispers your spouse gives. Your intimacy gets rekindled as brightly as it was many years ago.
Tinnitus might be a sign of hearing loss
Do you hear constant or intermittent ringing, whooshing, pulsing, or buzzing sounds in your ears?
Tinnitus is a symptom of dysfunction and, in most cases, damage to the hearing system. There have been many treatments developed. Hearing aids are one of the ways to help people with mild to moderate levels of tinnitus disturbance. While improving your hearing, hearing aids also work just like tinnitus maskers and teach your brain to ignore unwanted sounds
.
Mumbling….
Without hearing aids, you miss certain sounds, which means the brain is missing stimulation. As a result, the auditory nerve responsible for hearing reduces the transfer of sounds to the brain. Without hearing aids, you may hear speech but cannot make sense of it.”
Hearing exams may reveal underlying medical issues
Hearing tests not only examine your hearing sensitivity but can determine whether or not you have an underlying medical issue and will lead to being referred to a physician if necessary.
You are missed. Every day. Every way.
Hearing loss impacts your life?
Your life will be improved with our treatment and support every step of the way.
Embarrassed about wearing hearing aids?
The newest devices are hardly noticeable and are designed to blend in with your hair, glasses, or skin.
Loud but unclear music?
The latest hearing aids allow for seamless wireless listening superior to technology like Apple Air pods.
Did you pretend you heard what was said and laughed like every one else?
Avoiding social interaction to protect your vulnerability? Loneliness is a trap that requires effort to escape. Hearing aids improve clarity of speech, protect from sudden noises, and filter out all noise.
Kate was extremely knowledgeable and very client focused. She took the time to explain all the different facets of hearing in an understandable language, which gave me a great deal of confidence that we were going to have a successful outcome.I couldn't be happier with my hearing aids and the ongoing support Kate has provided after the initial fitting. I look forward to seeing her every few months just to make sure I am still getting the most out of hearing aids.Thanks so much Kate for giving my hearing back to me.
Kate was amazing and very professional with her interaction. She described what she was going to do with some helpful additional information about caring and protecting the ears. I would really recommend her for anyone.
Kate was so nice and accommodating. She even went over our alloted time meeting to answer questions. It was an educational and very pleasant experience. Thank you Kate!
I have undergone numerous hearing tests throughout my life, and I must say that this was by far my most exceptional experience. Kate was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and experienced. She dedicated time to thoroughly explain each step of the process to me, enhancing my understanding of my ears and their functions in just one hour. I wholeheartedly recommend this service to anyone seeking answers regarding hearing issues.
excellent customer service. She taking care of me until I got the results. Thank you so much...
I highly recommend Kate! I have had complex ear issues, and she has been so helpful and kind through it all. I even called her on a Saturday for help with a very acute issue I was dealing with, and she got me in later that day and did all the tests available to her to fix my problem. Dealing with health issues can be anxiety-inducing, but Kate was so kind and reassuring, and she really put me at ease through the whole process.
I recently had an audiogram test at the 44 Sounds Hearing Aid clinic, and Kate was fantastic. She is extremely knowledgeable and explained everything clearly, including important precautions and recommendations after the test. I highly recommend visiting the clinic for any hearing test needs. Excellent service!! Thanks Kate.
I have been having hearing issues for about 3 years. My only regret is that I did not go see Kate from day one. Kate was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable. I was blown away with her knowledge and also the hearing test as well as knowledge of my hearing loss and the cause. Bottom line is if you are requiring hearing assistance, this is definitely the place to go. Kate will help you and offer uncompromising service as well.Thank you Kate.
Kate Powell of 44 sounds hearing aid clinic is an excellent provider, explains well, follows up with her clients, always willing to meet with you.
I showed up today for a walk-in hearing test, and Kate was happy to take me in. On top of a standard evaluation she also provided me with more tests and a wealth of information on the ear. Not only was she helpful, but I also learned so much about keeping my ears safe. Great service and great prices, thank you so much, I will be back next year for my next exam!
Had my hearing tested by Kate Powell at 44 Sounds Hearing Aid Clinic yesterday and was very impressed with how knowledgeable and professional she is. Her clinic is comfortable, clean and very easy to get to. My results were good, but I’ll return for check ups each year, knowing that when the time comes, Kate will ensure I have the best hearing aids for me.
When I found out that I required hearing aids, I was very hesitant to get them. When I went in and saw Kate, she was kind and very informative about what steps needed to be taken. She made the whole experience comfortable. Kate explained everything from the hearing test to the fitting. She makes sure that you are happy and comfortable with the hearing aids, and answering any questions or concerns, and offering lots of knowledge. I cannot be any happier, and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone.
I would like to thank Kate for the very professional exam she did on me. I was impressed about her knowledge and explanation for all the steps and results. I'm recommending Kate and The 44 sounds for everybody to take the exam. Thank you Kate!
I was not particularly happy to be going down the road to using hearing aids on a regular basis, but Kate made the experience much more pleasant than I ever anticipated. Hearing well is a major component of everyday living and I am just beginning to appreciate how much I have been missing over the past years. A good part of my reluctance resulted from the frustrations I had dealt with helping my elderly mother adjust to hearing aids in the past – if only I had known Kate at that time! She has spent a lot of time with me on numerous occasions and she has answered all of my questions with very detailed and informative responses. For anyone requiring hearing aids, I highly recommend The 44 Sounds Hearing Aid Clinic. Kate Powell is simply wonderful!
Kate was an awesome person to work with. She explained everything in great deal and made sure I was happy with my hearing aids! I would recommend her to anyone!!
Professional and unbeatable customer service.Kate is very knowledgeable, caring and explained every steps.I unfortunately had to get my form resigned, Kate agreed to meet me after hour at 9 pm to get it done. I cannot thank her enough for her service and being so patient and kind
I would highly recommend 44 Sounds. Ive been wearing hearing aids for 20+ yrs and this was one of the best experiences I've had. Costco might have cheaper prices but you will not find a more caring, experienced and knowledgeable person than Kate and that ultimately translates to better hearing.
I have used hearing aids for 14 years and have always had problems hearing conversations in noisy restaurants or similar situations. I thought this was impossible to correct until I met Kate at 44Sounds. She did an extensive test of my hearing and spent 2 hours adjusting my new "Resound" hearing aids and arranged two follow up appointments. I am very pleased with 44Sounds and strongly recommend them.
Kate is so professional. She has so much knowledge about what she is doing. She explains things in depth so that the clients understand it in a better way. She is never rushing and always invest time in making things clear. I would recommend people to visit her for hearing test and all other things related to ears.
Very comprehensive, professional and attentive service. Highly recommend.
5 star experience all around! Kate was absolutely lovely in every way, very professional and she explained each step she took. I left feeling confident about my health and learned a LOT about how the ear works. In addition, she educated me on all the DO’s and DONT’s for how to set yourself up for long term health, rather than a quick bandaid solution. The interior was incredibly clean and aesthetically appealing as well. Kate is a professional in every way and it is clear she knows what she is doing and cares about her patients. I would recommend her / this clinic to anyone!
I came here on a recommendation from a friend and it was an amazing experience. She answered all my questions and educated me about my hearing. I highly recommend coming here if you have any problems with your hearing.
Kate Powell is a one of a kind professional. She is thoughtful, caring and without a doubt one of the easiest professionals I have ever talked to. She takes time to listen to you and answers your questions thoroughly. I highly recommend coming here for a consultation.
Accolade’s to Kate Powell and the 44 sounds Hearing Aid Clinic. Kate handled my grandfather with great professionalism and programmed his hearing aids to his needs. I highly recommend this business to anyone when buying hearing aid and problems with their hearing aids. Great experience Kate/ Bill Dekker
I came here for a second opinion with my hearing loss, I was hesitant as the first place I went to didn't feel as welcoming.Kate is absolutely amazing, she was very informative and showed examples of what's going on in my ears, I left feeling comfortable and confident about needing hearing aids, even though I'm just shy of 40yrs old. I will recommend her to anyone and everyone that has questions or needs help with hearing loss.
I am completely impressed with the amount of support I received!! I recommend this place to everyone 🙂
Kate is awesome!!!Not only does she treat you, but she educates you. You understand your diagnosis and the treatment she provides to best help you.I would highly recommend her services.John
Kate saved my hearing! She saw an object in my ear, up against my eardrum. She implored me to go see an ENT as soon as possible.The ENT told me I had about 6 months left before the object wore away the delicate bone inside my ear. My eardrum had grown over the object. I would have lost my hearing completely in the right ear. I had my hearing checked by another clinic October 2022, they said nothing about an object in my ear. But they did offer me hearing aids. I can't thank Kate enough for taking the time to make sure I understood the gravity of the situation.
Kate is professional, knowledgeable, patient, and caring. She treats you like a family member! I had the most amazing experience with her! I took my father for his hearing test. As he does not speak English, and it was my first time being in an audiology clinic for the test, I was a little bit nervous! But as soon as we got into the clinic, I knew we had made the right choice. She took the time to explain everything step by step and waited for me to translate them for my dad! She did a thorough assessment, explaining each step. Kate explained in detail how to use hearing aids, adjust them, and care for them! I recommend Kate to anybody looking to get a hearing aid for themselves or a family member who would like to get high care and support!
Kate has been fabulous! Accommodating, patient, informative, transparent, profesional and supportive. Answered my questions and concerns, explained the process and has continued to provide attentive aftercare follow up support.UPDATE! Struggled with getting reimbursed costs from my insurer. Long after I paid 44 Sounds up front, Kate would not stop fighting on my behalf even when I was inclined to give up! This kind of after service attention is so rare and above and beyond what we have come to expect these days! She fought on my behalf when there was nothing in it for her. Wow! This is a throw back to the days of actual supportive customer service and caring! Thank you Kate! ⭐️
Contacted 44 Sounds for a second opinion regarding my loss of hearing. I cannot believe the professionalism provided by Kate. She did a thorough assessment and explained each step. No high pressure to buy but instead explained where I would improve my hearing and why I should have hearing aids. She is very patient and is very clear with her directions for use. Kate’s goal is to help people hear and that is exactly what she has done for me!
Kate is fantastic and compassionate to work with. My mom is a senior and Kate is so patient and helpful. I recommend anyone who is looking for someone who is kind and supportive with getting hearing aids.
I had the most amazing experience with the excellent services I received from this clinic and practitioner Kate Powell! In all my years of obtaining hearing aids from other practitioners at different companies, I have never met anyone as professional, knowledgeable and passionate about making sure their customers receive the highest quality of care for the most suitable hearing aids to perfectly match the level of hearing loss for each individual. Kate is very client focused because she genuinely cares and takes the time to teach and thoroughly explains the medical details about each individual type of loss, in order to understand the importance of choosing the right hearing aids best suited, to give you the maximum quality of hearing to meet normal levels. Kate is also readily available for any questions or concerns you may have and she is wholeheartedly willing to assist you on demand. It is the first time I can say I love my hearing aids! It is the best I have ever heard since my hearing loss as a child because no other practitioners I’ve had in the past has taken the time to care like this. I’ve learned so much along with being encouraged, enlightened and inspired to view my hearing loss from a different perspective than I had before . I am so thankful to have found this hearing aid clinic and I highly recommend it to anyone searching for excellent service to look no further you will not be disappointed. Thank you so much Kate, and God bless you! I’m so glad I finally found a practitioner for life.
I came into Kate's clinic with an older hearing aid. I had been wearing only one for as long as I can remember. She explained to me that this should have never been. She literally took me under her wing and provided me with personalized support and care. She went above and beyond on so many levels. She truly cared about me and that shined through in her professionalism and authenticity. She is exceptionally knowledgeable on all types of hearing aids and hearing loss and will take the time to explain it all to you (she explained a lot to me that other practitioners hadn't). The time that she has spent helping me with my specific needs has been priceless.If you are looking for professional, personalized care, someone who genuinely cares about you, your hearing health and quality of life, I "highly" recommend The 44 Sounds.- Tina
I’m extremely happy with the help I got from the 44 Sounds hearing aid clinic. I love and suggest needing any consultation about hearing aid please proceed to this clinic and get right treatment. Thank you.
Kate is one of the best audiologists here in Edmonton. She is the only clinic in the city I know of who’s open on Saturdays. My mom got top notch quality hearing aids as well as Kate going through in great detail how to use them, care for them, and it made the world of a difference with moms hearing and Kate helped her improve her quality of life. I myself also wear hearing aids and when it’s time for me to get new ones, I will definitely go here for them. I would wholeheartedly recommend Kate and her clinic for all your hearing needs!
Kate taught me in excellent detail about the human ear, how it works, and how to keep them healthy for years to come. I would highly reccomend her clinic for any concerns involving the ears!
My friend had a wonderful experience at this clinic. Hearing aids are set so perfectly he occasionally forgets he has them in. The service was excellent, he never felt rushed and appreciated the personal care.
Amazing experience! Went with my father and she really took the time to listen and ensure he was set up with a device that’s both comfortable and discret. My dad hardly even knows he’s wearing his device! HIGHLY recommend you check this place out if you’re looking for a new hearing aid. Nothing but good things to say ☺️ thank you everyone!!
I went to see Kate due to a sudden onset of tinnitus. Not only did Kate perform a very thorough (and comfortable) series of hearing tests, explaining each test along the way, but she took it a step further and provided an incredibly useful education on general hearing and ear health and some of the reasons that are potential causes of tinnitus. I would encourage anyone to go see Kate, including people as young as 18 in order to establish a baseline as an indicator of hearing health to monitor throughout one’s lifetime. It will serve you well, and Kate wants to help.
Kate arranged a prompt apt. She is my 3rd audiologists took the time to explain many different aspects of my hearing loss and the technologies behind the aids. My first visit was very proffessional and highly recommend her.
Kate was really impressive, with my dad, who was a little skeptical at first. He was going to a different aid clinic who did not show anything that Kate was able to show him. Not only did Kate help my dad, but she also helped mom! I would recommend her to anyone you care about, because she will show care and compassion for them.
As soon as you walk in, the atmosphere is wonderful, beautiful decor and welcoming and comfortable. Ms. Kate Powell was so caring, and helpful and she explained everything we needed to know.
First time doing this, absolutely gorgeous place! Nice to discover I got no hearing loss!
Kate was absolutely amazing and very professional .I brought my mother for hearing aids and was extremely impressed with her service, patience and dedication to her patientsI highly recommend her hearing aid clinic.
I first met Kate when we were doing the same schooling for our profession. She was passionate in her learning then and even more passionate about providing the greatest hearing enhancement technology in Hearing Aids to her clients for the least cost to her clients. She is most certainly THE Trusted Professional her clients rave about! And…have you visited her Clinic yet? Very chic surroundings and professional environment! I recommend Kate, as a trusted source in the Hearing Aid industry to everyone!
I initially took my Mom to Kate @ 44 Sounds, because her hours are very flexible. I ignorantly assumed all Hearing Clinic's were pretty much the same, but we weren't there long before we realized we had literally stubbled across someone who not only knows an incredible amount about hearing & hearing aids, but someone who genuinely cares and wants to improve people's quality of life. My Mom is completely deaf now without a hearing aid, and Kate taught me how to talk to my Mom so her hearing aids could help her understand what I was saying.We spent literally years seeing another Hearing clinic that only ever offered us the lowest hearing aid available, under the pretense that it was the only one covered by Alberta Seniors Health. Kate set my Mom up with a very high end hearing aid, (at no additional cost) which can actually connect to my iPhone and now my Mom enjoys FaceTime with her other daughters that are out of Province. Kate is one in a million literally, she not only cares deeply about her patient, but also the entire family and teaches us all how to communicate around the hearing loss. I am very grateful we found Kate, she has helped us immensely. Carol & Audrey
My hearing declined over years because Iam CNC machinist and Kate provided amazing service.She took time and explained every step of procedure and adjusted the hearing aid perfectly to my needs .Thank you Kate and we will highly recommend the clinic to everyone in need for help to improve the quality of life .
Kate provided me with an excellent service starting from my hearing test up to acquiring my hearing aid devices. She explained to me everything I needed to know on how I should use and maintain my hearing aids. Kate is very professional on dealing with her clients. I will definitely recommend her to my friends and co-workers who need to check their hearing problems.
Kate was so knowledgeable and professional. I don't think we realize how important it is to get our hearing checked, so you can catch any issue's before it gets too serious. Like myself, we just take hearing for granted until there is an issue. The question is, "will it be too late?"
Kate has been wonderful throughout the whole process . She carefully explained all my test results, answered all my questions thoughtfully and demonstrated a caring attitude at all times. She encouraged me to call her at any time with any questions or difficulties I might be having with my new hearing aids.At no time did I feel pressured to purchase hearing aids or additional item.I have recommended Kate and her The 40 Sounds Hearing Aid clinic to a number of friends and at least two have followed through and sought her assistance. They have both been delighted with the advice and care they have received.Keep up the great work Kate, you are a gem who treats your customers with care and concern.
For over 40 years I've worked abroad as a teacher. I suspected some hearing loss, especially in my right ear but it took me a long time to seek professional help because for many years I wrongly convinced myself that hearing always decreases with age, and nothing can be done about it. Finally, I made an appointment. After the examination, I was recommended hearing aids which work the best for my hearing loss. Now when I wear them, I feel like I’m a completely different person. I would like to thank Katya for her knowledge, advice, and work. I recommend anyone who has hearing problems to contact The 44 Sounds because those visits can change the quality of your life.
It’s very hard to find now days dedicated professionals. Katya was very helpful and professional,taking a lot of time explaining and practicing with the new device. I will recommend this clinic to my friends. Awesome and friendly atmosphere, calm environment.
My husband recently suffered a head injury resulting in significantly reduced hearing and ability to understand speech. Kate, at the 44 Sounds clinic is profoundly knowledgeable and was able to clarify his condition and make astute recommendations. We are indeed grateful for her expertise and the understanding she demonstrated. Both my husband and I highly recommend her services!!!
Kate is very thorough and helpful. She took the time to explain everything, and answer questions during the examination. She truly cares about the health of her clients, and is very knowledgeable. I recommend that you see Kate, especially if you’re concerned about your hearing, but even if you’ve just not had your hearing checked before.
Attended the 44 sounds hearing aid centre in March 2023. Looking for a great hearing aid centre look no further. Kate is extremely passionate about her business and this is clearly shown by the high quality of care shown to her patients. She takes time to address her patients needs and answer all questions and concerns in a friendly and professional manner.The testing is very thorough and if hearing aids are in fact required Kate is very knowledgeable and can advise on the options available and assist to make sure you obtain what is best for your situation. Thank you for the terrific care.
Service was complete and professional. I learned a lot about modern hearing aids. Completely not what I thought. There are so many settings that you can control with your smart phone. I am still new to my hearing aids, but it is exciting to be able to hear sounds that I struggled to hear only a few days ago. Great place all round including great prices.
Thanks to Kate at the 44 sounds hearing aid clinic I can finally after years of not hearing I can hear things, like my cat purring the dishwasher makes a wonderful sound when it's running. My list of new found sounds will go on and on. Thank you Kate at the 44 sounds hearing aid clinic so wonderful to being able to hear again I am forever grateful. Awesome customer service
I have had hearing loss from the age of 15 and was told by many audiologists and hearing aid clinics that they can do nothing for me. Kate was the only one that took on the challenge and wanted to do the work and analysis to see what could support me in finding an appropriate solution. We tried two types of hearing systems, and after three consults to fine tune the hearing aids, my experience is life altering.I am not struggling to hear dialogue and conversations at work or with family and friends. The cross system allows me to hear others while in a vehicle and I am not afraid or uncomfortable to go into a crowded room anymore.Her ability to fine tune my hearing aid system and supporting me with the various programs on the phone app, Helps me further fine tune my hearing aid system for the various situations I may find myself in.I am forever thankful that she took on the challenge as no one previously wanted to deal with someone who had Meniere’s Disease. I even have directional sound location again, which makes life a lot easier.People take their hearing for granted and do not comprehend the struggle hearing loss causes in ones life.Thank you Kate for your passion to find solutions for people with hearing loss.
Excellent service and highly knowledgeable!! Ms. Powell took me in as a walk-in with no notice and went above and beyond, fully cleaning, programing, servicing, and recalibrating my hearing aids, all based on a very comprehensive hearing test.I would highly recommend.
I have never had such an in-depth and comprehensive hearing test in my life. Katherine was extremely knowledgeable and explained things in such a clear manner that provided me with a very clear understanding of what the tests revealed and recommendations going forward.I highly recommend anyone who at a minimum is looking for a baseline of where your at OR experiencing problems, give Katherine an opportunity to give you an honest and thorough examination.She is highly knowledgeable and credible.
