About Speech and Hearing BC

Speech and Hearing BC is a not-for-profit association with more than 1200 member speech-language pathologists and audiologists in British Columbia.

We believe in the importance of providing treatment to individuals of all ages who may experience problems with their speech, language, hearing, voice, swallowing, fluency, and social communication.

BC Needs Coverage for Hearing Aids

British Columbia is falling behind the rest of Canada in ensuring that people are able to access consistent hearing health coverage.

Help us change that by sending a letter to your local Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA).
