What Are VAC Hearing Services and How Do They Benefit Veterans?
Overview of VAC Hearing Services
Veterans Affairs Canada provides a broad range of hearing-related services for former military personnel and RCMP members. These services are designed to address the long-term impacts of service-related hearing loss and exposure to high-noise environments. At Bravo Hearing Centre, we provide:
- Hearing assessments for veterans conducted by experienced professionals
- Hearing aid fittings and device maintenance
- Hearing aid replacements and repairs through VAC programs
- Tinnitus counselling
- Hearing protection solutions for ongoing auditory health
These services are fully coordinated by our team to reduce paperwork and eliminate barriers to care. Veterans can expect clear guidance, efficient service, and ongoing support.
Benefits of VAC Services for Veterans
The VAC program offers veterans significant advantages, including:
- Full coverage for hearing aids, accessories, and batteries
- No-cost follow-ups and adjustments
- Tinnitus support and education
- Preventive solutions, such as noise protection devices
- Improved social engagement and independence
These benefits support not only hearing health but also mental well-being and quality of life. We work closely with VAC to ensure every eligible veteran receives access to these essential services.
Additionally, VAC coverage ensures that veterans receive regular check-ups and personalized counselling, which helps them adapt to hearing changes over time. This long-term support is especially valuable for those dealing with progressive hearing loss or recurring tinnitus symptoms.
The program also provides peace of mind to family members and caregivers, knowing their loved ones are receiving professional care without the burden of out-of-pocket costs. Whether it’s navigating noisy environments or improving conversations with family, VAC hearing services are designed to restore connection and confidence.

For veterans in the Greater Toronto Area, including Etobicoke and Mississauga, we are proud to be your trusted local provider of VAC-approved services.
Hearing Aids and Devices for Veterans
Veterans approved through VAC programs are eligible for a wide selection of advanced hearing aids. At Bravo Hearing Centre, we specialize in helping veterans choose the right solution based on lifestyle, hearing profile, and medical history. Devices include:
- Custom hearing aids that are moulded for individual fit and comfort
- Discreet behind-the-ear and in-the-ear models for subtle, effective use
- Rechargeable and Bluetooth-enabled hearing aids that integrate with phones and TVs
- Devices with built-in tinnitus masking features for dual support
Each hearing aid fitting is conducted with precision, ensuring a comfortable fit and optimal clarity in everyday environments — whether you’re at home, outdoors, or engaging in social activities.
Understanding VAC Hearing Aid Coverage
VAC provides comprehensive support for all approved hearing aids and accessories, including:
- Hearing aid devices and custom earmoulds
- Batteries, chargers, and cleaning supplies
- Remote microphones, television adapters, and phone streamers
- Periodic upgrades as technology evolves
Our clinic ensures veterans are not only fitted with the latest technology but also receive training on device features, such as directional microphones, volume control, and Bluetooth connectivity. These tools are vital for those who need reliable performance in meetings, family settings, or public spaces.
In cases where your hearing changes significantly, VAC allows for reassessments and potential device upgrades. This adaptability ensures your hearing care evolves with you, rather than becoming outdated or ineffective.
We also assist with the hearing aid replacement process for veterans whose devices are no longer effective. Our professionals guide you through eligibility confirmation, documentation submission, and follow-up care.

Tinnitus Management and Treatment for Veterans
Many veterans experience tinnitus, often described as a constant ringing, hissing, or buzzing in the ears. This condition can result from noise trauma experienced during service and may lead to frustration, sleep disturbances, and difficulty focusing.
Bravo Hearing Centre provides VAC-supported tinnitus treatment tailored specifically to veterans. We focus on both the auditory and emotional impact of tinnitus, offering comprehensive solutions such as:
- Sound therapy using hearing aids with integrated masking technology
- Custom sound generators that promote neural adaptation
- Cognitive behavioural therapy tools to reduce the psychological burden of tinnitus
- One-on-one counselling and education to empower clients in their daily lives
We understand that tinnitus is more than just an ear issue — it’s a whole-person challenge. With the right care plan, veterans can regain control and reduce the negative impact of persistent auditory symptoms.
Since VAC recognizes tinnitus as a common consequence of service-related noise exposure, many treatment tools, including devices and therapeutic support, are fully funded, giving veterans access to holistic care without added financial stress.
