Program Overview

Hearing instrument specialists are valued members of a hearing health-care team. They conduct comprehensive diagnostic hearing assessments, develop hearing health-care plans, dispense advanced digital assistive hearing devices and evaluate outcomes using evidence-based verification methods.   

In the Hearing Instrument Specialist diploma program, you will develop the academic knowledge and hands-on, real-world experience required to become a valued hearing health professional. We combine online and in-person learning models, work-integrated learning, exceptional faculty and state-of-the-art facilities to prepare students to skillfully work within their scope of practice and collaborate effectively as part of an interdisciplinary health-care team. Graduates of our program develop the confidence to adapt to the evolving needs of today’s patient and the emerging technologies for patient care and hearing devices.   

This program develops holistic and critical thinkers, confident clinicians and compassionate communicators who will become outstanding professionals, effective practitioners and leading contributors in their field. 

Work-Integrated Learning  
Our curriculum is designed to emphasize depth and breadth in your clinical experience. You will have the opportunity to practise your skills with two mandatory professional practicums. These will include a combination of on-campus clinical and community opportunities. You will be offered a selection of approved placement sites which will allow you to experience clinical work, marketing and sales, or research and development. Some professional practicums may be outside of the Greater Toronto area.

Graduates of the Hearing Instrument Specialist program can apply to the Association of Hearing Instrument Practitioners of Ontario (AHIP) and then complete their internship hours to become fully licensed professionals in Ontario.
