Envision Hearing
Led by a Doctor of Audiology (AuD), Envision Hearing provides assessment and management of auditory processing disorder (APD), tinnitus and decreased sound tolerance in Ottawa.
Is a locally owned, independent audiology clinic in Ottawa, led by a Doctor of Audiology (AuD). Our practice has a primary clinical focus on the assessment, testing, and management of auditory processing disorder (APD), as well as tinnitus and decreased sound tolerance.
Unlike hearing clinics that offer a broad range of hearing healthcare services, Envision Hearing maintains a focused clinical practice centered on auditory processing disorder, also known as central auditory processing disorder (CAPD), tinnitus, and decreased sound tolerance, allowing us to devote our time, expertise, and clinical resources to providing comprehensive care for children, adolescents, and adults.
Auditory processing disorder, tinnitus, and decreased sound tolerance can occur together and may affect how a person hears, listens, communicates, and responds to sound. Our integrated approach allows patients to access care for these concerns within one clinic.

Improve the quality of life of our patients by providing exceptional customer service and patient-centered care.
Foster an environment of inclusivity, respect, compassion, and empathy where every patient feels heard, understood, and supported.
Improve patient care through ongoing professional development and collaboration with other healthcare providers, including speech-language pathologists, psychologists, otolaryngologists, occupational therapists, and educators.
VISION
Help each person live a more fully engaged life through individualized, evidence-based audiological care.

Our approach goes beyond a standard hearing test. Tinnitus and sound intolerance are often influenced by more than just the auditory system, and our assessment looks at the full picture. In addition to evaluating the auditory system, we also screen for sensory factors that may contribute to increased sound sensitivity. Some tinnitus is influenced by muscle and nerve input from other parts of the body. We also perform a physical examination of the jaw and neck to check for somatosensory tinnitus.
