Audiology/Hearing Aid Program services in Yorkton will be reduced over the next 12 months to manage a leave of absence. The health regions regret that recruitment to the temporary vacancy was unsuccessful.
The Audiology/Hearing Aid Program is operated by Regina Qu’Appelle Health Region and is provided in Yorkton at the Public Health Office with appointments coordinated by the Sunrise Health Region.
People who are already on the hearing program wait list will see their positions maintained. Hearing program staff will contact those people when an appointment becomes available.
New clients seeking hearing tests or to order hearing aids can call the Public Health office in Yorkton at 306-786-0647. Callers will be placed on the waiting list and prioritized, according to their needs, for the next available appointment.
Drop-in assistance is not possible as there is no audiologist or technician on-hand except for scheduled days. Clients having issues with their hearing devices or requiring technical services are encouraged to phone for a scheduled appointment.
Residents who do not wish to wait for an appointment, or do not wish to be placed on the waiting list, can access services through the Regina clinic. Clients can call 306 –766-7555. Other service providers can be found in the Yellow Pages of the Yorkton and District SaskTel phone directory.
For more information, please contact the Audiology/Hearing Aid Program in Regina at (306) 766-7555.
Regina Qu’Appelle and Sunrise health regions thank people for their patience and understanding during this service reduction period.
