MAY IS BETTER HEARING MONTH
Communication is priceless. Unfortunately hearing loss can hinder this much needed ability. Loved
ones become mumblers and punch lines are missed. Hearing loss, even when slight, has a great
impact on one’s quality of life and so selecting the right hearing healthcare provider is crucial.
Rosanne McNamee, a Registered Audiologist and owner of Hearing Solutions Clinic, is in many
ways, the #1 reason to choose Hearing Solutions Clinic as YOUR hearing healthcare provider. ‘’I
opened my practice in 2001 to offer the kind of hearing healthcare I felt could not be found anywhere
in Nepean’’ notes Rosanne. With a focus on patient care, Rosanne strives to offer them nothing
but the best. ‘’I treat my patients like family. This helps them to open up and tell me about
their real hearing needs.’’ Rosanne also prides herself on personalized care. Unlike larger facilities,
patients at Hearing Solutions Clinic have the luxury of always dealing with Rosanne, each and every
visit. ‘’I also feel that to offer real value, a wide range of product is necessary because every patient
I meet has distinct needs’’ adds Rosanne. Consequently, as an independent private clinic, Hearing
Solutions Clinic has no Manufacturer limitations. All hearing aid makes and models can be sold and
serviced. Consequently, you can be sure that you will find a hearing aid that is right for you and at
a very competitive price because Hearing Solutions Clinic doesn’t have the enormous overhead of
larger clinics. Finally, patients of Hearing Solutions Clinic also receive hearing healthcare from a professional
whose credentials are impressive. ‘’I’m constantly educating myself to better help my
patients’’ says Rosanne. Rosanne is a Registered Audiologist, with a Master’s degree in Health
Sciences and is currently working on her Audiology Doctorate. She is also a part-time Professor at
the University of Ottawa and St-Lawrence College and is a Council Member of the College of
Audiology and Speech-language
Pathology of Ontario. Consequently,
Hearing Solutions Clinic is kept up to
date in technology and practice. She
also does a lot of public speaking about
hearing and hearing protection so look
for her at local community events this
month, or better yet, meet her personally
by booking your consultation at
Hearing Solutions Clinic, conveniently
located at 202-1915
Baseline Rd (across from Home Depot).
