We are Hearing & Speech Nova Scotia

At Hearing and Speech Nova Scotia (HSNS), we help those who call our communities home to live life to the fullest with provincially funded hearing and speech services.

We’re here to guide Nova Scotians of all ages through challenges related to hearing, speech, balance and more. And with 35 locations across the province, support is never far away.
