Ian Murray Hearing Centre
We are centrally located at 1867 Carling Ave, at the corner of Maitland, but also provide clinics at over a dozen Retirement Residences, throughout Ottawa. Expert, owner-on-site, personal service, with the flexibility to 'bend the rules' to suit your unique needs. Tinnitus/Misophonia therapy.

We have been trained in Tinnitus Retraining Therapy, which has a 94% success rate, to reduce bothersome in-ear noises, and disturbing environmental sounds, such as chewing and clicking, etc.Specialized ear canal debridement (cleaning), using curettage and micro-suction, which is rarely offered at other clinics, nor in Family Medicine offices.
Services
Our two clinicians and administrative staff provide consistent care and have a total of over 60 years of combined experience in the hearing health field. At Murray Hearing, each patient is always cared for by the same clinician, as building a relationship involves a lot more than just understanding the hearing loss: it's about understanding your lifestyle and particular needs.
To begin with, all hearing aids dispensed in Ontario must meet specific standards and requirements for quality and technology. But knowing that all hearing aids have the -potential- to meet an individual's needs does not necessarily help them to choose which device is the most appropriate.

Our approach to selecting hearing aids is primarily based upon an individual's needs and lifestyle, and not rushing to talk about 'the best technology, ' as frankly, that is basically putting the horse before the cart.The first step in the process is to provide a full hearing test. With those results, we can better discuss specific concerns encountered whether at home or away, as well as workplace or social requirements or restrictions.
We had been looking for someone honest and reliable that could provide us with replacement hearing aids. Our previous experience with hearing aid providers had not been very good as the after-purchase support was much less than we expected. We found the Ian Murray Hearing Centre while doing an Internet search.

Had a wonderful visit with Dr. Murray this morning. I went in for a hearing test and a cleaning. I found him and his staff welcoming, and the environment very comfortable. Dr. Murray is clearly knowledgeable and made the entire appointment fun. Thank you for a memorable and informative experience!

I brought my 12 y/o daughter to visit Ian today due to a wax build up in both ears. She was incredibly nervous as we have tried many attempts to remove the wax (visits to the MD, flushing, oil, etc) and nothing seemed to work. She was in pain, frustrated and nervous.
Within the first 20 seconds, as he met us in the waiting room, his calm demeanour, humour, professionalism reduced her anxiety and gave me the confidence this would be a positive experience.
During the was removal, he let my daughter know she was in control of the appointment and within 25 minutes, both ears were unplugged, we had

Integrity. I visited Ian Murray Hearing Centre because I often find myself asking others to repeat themselves. He performed a thorough examination, and a full hearing test. I was somewhat relieved to hear (sorry for the pun) that my hearing is at the usual levels for my age. He didn't try to sell me a single thing, and the test was free. I don't know what the industry is like as a whole, but Ian Murray is definitely as honest as it gets. I would recommend him without hesitation.

Ian is THE guy to go see for ear wax removal. There is no point in going anywhere else. The micro-suction technique is the superior way of getting wax out with minimal hazard. Don't waste your time with the water flushing method, or waiting 9 months or more to go see an ENT doctor who will do the same service. He has been doing this thing specifically for over 10 years. He really knows what he's doing. He is very easy to deal with and explains everything very well. People from all over the place come all the way to Ottawa just to see him for this purpose. After seeing him for my own significantly

OMG.....I am so thrilled to say I can hear again! Ian Murray managed to clear my ears of wax so I am no longer affected! It was painless and almost a pleasant experience! Ian is funny and engaging and explains what he is doing. I was not nervous and thrilled I went to him. He is an ear GURU! Can't say enough about his professionalism.

A fantastic experience at a fantastic clinic. I cannot say enough; on time, personable and took his time with me. I did not feel I was being rushed thru my appointment but rather listened to (lol). He addressed all my concerns and was able to help me hear much better. Thank you Ian Murray!!

I see that Ian Murray has a lot of good reviews but for me it's often suspicious. That a side I went to see him for my tinnitus since it's something that he treats has per his office sign and website. I don't recommend you see him because he basically was talking non sense on the subject of tinnitus and didn't give any good informations or advice.

I recently brought my elderly mother for a severe case of ear wax buildup. She has dementia with hostile emotional outbursts and was very resistant to attending the treatment. Once I finally got her in the clinic, Ian Murray seemed to have a magical gift in his interactions with her - patient, witty, informative and generous. He removed the wax successfully which would likely not have been possible through traditional approaches. I'm grateful to the clinic for providing us with flexibility and understanding to address this issue and would highly recommend Ian and the clinic to anyone requiring

Very professional and friendly at the same time. Talks you through his procedure while doing so you understand what the process. After wax removal, felt like the first time I was hearing (super hearing). Probably the best Doc in field at what he does hands down!
I'll recommend anyone having ear or hearing problems to definitely pay him a visit.
