Hear What Our Patients Have To Say About Our Services During COVID-19:
I am on my second set of hearing aids from Carrie and her crew, and still more than happy with the service I receive.
Over the years, whenever I have had a concern, there was always someone available to problem solve with me and find a solution.
Even during this COVID 19 shut down, when I had a part break on my aid they were able to find a way to help me out.
Can't say thank you enough.”
-Sandy Z.
Dr. Scarff and her team have made an immeasurable difference in my life. I’ve been wearing hearing aids for years, and they’ve always been a ‘make-do’ appliance for me. They helped me quite a bit, but failed in crowds, meetings, and on the telephone. I honestly thought that mediocre was the best I could hope for. I didn’t expect that to change, but when Dr. Scarff spent a week researching the best devices for my hearing loss, I dared to hope a little. She recommended the Phonak M90s with high power receivers and C-Shell domes, along with some Roger accessories. Wow. I can hear again. And I can hear far better with these devices than I could with any previous device.
Suffice to say, when COVID happened, and the entire world was seemingly working online, I realized that were it not for Dr. Scarff and her team, I would be unemployed. If I couldn’t hear and participate in Teams, Skype, and telephone meetings, all the knowledge, experience, and tenure in the world wasn’t going to change the fact that I couldn’t contribute to the level that I was previously able to when face-to-face conversations were the norm. My career is still viable thanks to Dr. Scarff and her team of experts. I recommend this clinic unreservedly.”

+ How Are You Keeping Patients Safe In Their Clinic During COVID-19?
As professional health care providers, we at Audiology Innovations have always adhered to proper sanitation protocols when it comes to our clinical operations. However, we do understand the increased concern for sanitization during this time. In light of COVID-19, we are following the Alberta Regulatory Guidelines to ensure that our patients who need to see us in-person are safe. We screen each patient and staff member for symptoms before they enter our clinic. Additionally, we are sanitizing each area that our patients and staff use continuously in between patients, as well as throughout the day. We are also following strict hand washing protocol and have hand sanitizer available to our patients at all times. Considering social distancing is essential right now, we are only seeing one patient at a time in our clinic, and only having one clinician see the patient.
+ Are You Open For Hearing Tests?
Yes for urgent care! It’s up to your discretion if you would prefer to come to our hearing clinic (within our current Alberta Guidelines), or if you would like us to come to you . As an Audiologist with extensive hospital-based training, Dr. Scarff is permitted to provide hearing evaluations.
+ Are You Taking New Patients?
Yes, for patients with urgent hearing care needs! As mentioned above, hearing is essential for safety and communication, so we are continuing to accept new patients while taking the precautions needed to ensure every patient and staff member’s safety.
+ Are You Still Providing…
- Hearing Aid Repairs?
- Tinnitus Evaluations?
- Emergency Care?
- Remote Adjustments?
- Home Visits?
Yes, to all of the above for urgent care! Whether you want to schedule an appointment to come to our clinic, or you would prefer to have us come to you, we are still providing all of the services listed above.
+ What Are Your New Hours Of Operation?
We are open Monday through Thursday 9am-4pm, Friday 10am-2pm
We hope the answers to your questions above provide you with the reassurance necessary to help you feel comfortable if you need to use our services during this time. Should you have additional questions or need more information, please contact us.
