We provide services to both children 6+ and adults, and as a private business, Boreal Clinic accepts referrals but they are not required.
​
What are the costs?
​
-
A full diagnostic test costs $315. This typically takes a little over an hour.
-
A workplace screening/routine audiogram costs $60 and typically takes about 20 minutes.
-
Hearing aid repairs costs vary depending on the service required.
-
New hearing aid and custom hearing protection cost varies greatly depending on your needs.
​
Please note:
-
We do not direct-bill to private insurance plans but can help with whatever documentation your insurance requires.
-
We do direct-bill Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB), Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC), and most workers compensation boards (WCB).
-
Since we are a private clinic, we do not take payments associated with your Yukon Health Benefits.
​
​
Have old hearing aids sitting in a drawer? Donate them! We fit donated devices to people struggling with the cost.
​
Behind the ear styles can be re-fit endlessly. Custom (in the ear) hearing aids unfortunately cannot be refit to a new ear.
Reasons to have a hearing test
-
Difficulty hearing in noisy environments
-
Phone conversations are unclear
-
Turning up the TV too loud
-
Frequently asking others to speak more slowly, clearly, and loudly
If you are concerned about your hearing and are experiencing any of the symptoms of hearing loss, see our Audiologist for a hearing test. A hearing test can check the type of hearing loss you have and how severe it is.
