Accurate Hearing was established in 2010 in Lower Sackville, Nova Scotia. Our second location opened in 2015 in Cole Harbour.
We are committed to helping people improve their quality of life by providing the best hearing experience possible. Accurate Hearing’s goal is to improve lives through sound restoration by offering reliable and well-crafted hearing aids. Our clinics offer patient centered care and are owned and operated by people who live in their local communities.
Both locations are audiology clinics offering hearing aid services, custom hearing protection and specialized audiology care including earwax removal and tinnitus assessments.
How are we different?
We provide individualized service; taking the time to get to know our patients and their specific needs. It is important to us that we take a holistic approach to audiology to ensure that we achieve the best possible results.
Our service model is patient focused: the process of bringing you better hearing should be as comfortable as possible.
Whatever each patient’s needs are, we are dedicated to providing solutions such as hearing devices and aids, custom personal protective equipment for on-the-job use, or lifestyle assistance for musicians and athletes.
Your hearing health is our first concern.
