Who we are

Every person deserves a voice. Every voice deserves to be heard.

We are Hearing and Speech Nova Scotia (HSNS). Established in 1963, we’re a provincially funded resource dedicated to testing and treating hearing, language, and speech-related issues in Nova Scotians of all ages.

Our provincially registered audiologists and speech-language pathologists are here to help you with whatever challenges you’re experiencing, from prevention to diagnosis to treatment. And because we’re committed to serving all Nova Scotians, our services are free with a valid Nova Scotia health card. Beyond hearing, language, and speech, we collaborate with a network of partners to offer several special programs for autism, swallowing, balance, cochlear implants and much more.

With our 35 clinical sites across 25 Nova Scotian communities, support is always close to home.
