From Dr. Vavrovicova
​
I am happy to announce my return to the community with Echo Hearing Care, a new hearing clinic located at 2533 West Broadway in Vancouver.

I am accepting new patients that are experiencing hearing difficulties or have problems with their hearing aids. Former patients are welcome to visit and continue their hearing journey with me at my new clinic.
​
I am a registered and licensed Doctor of Audiology, and I believe in using a holistic and comprehensive approach for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of hearing disorders by using advanced clinical hearing testing. Our audiology clinic collaborates with a network of an interdisciplinary team of health professionals, which is designed to provide our patients and their families with information on all aspects of hearing care.

Hearing is personal. It’s an important part of communication and having healthy relationships with our loved ones. We all know that hearing well elevates every part of our life. It increases our confidence and makes us feel better both physically and emotionally.
​
I am passionate about helping, and throughout my 17-year career, I have served to change the lives of hundreds of patients by maximizing their hearing abilities and quality of life.
