  • When should I book a hearing test?

    If you're noticing any of these indicators of potential hearing loss, it may be time to consider a hearing assessment:


    • Difficulty with adjusting your current hearing aids.
    • Noticing changes in your ability to hear.
    • Struggling to understand conversations.
    • Increasing the volume on your TV to hear dialogue more clearly.
    • Being over 60 years old without a recent hearing evaluation.

    Should any of these situations resonate with you, we recommend scheduling a hearing assessment at Dynamic Hearing Solutions in Trail, BC

  • Are there benefits to taking a hearing test?

    Early detection: Undergoing a hearing test at our clinic can pinpoint hearing loss at its initial stages. This early detection facilitates prompt and effective management of the condition.


    Customized solutions: Based on your unique hearing profile revealed by the test, our audiologists can suggest personalized hearing aid options or other appropriate treatments, ensuring a solution that's specifically tailored to your needs.


    Enhanced communication: By identifying and addressing hearing loss with a hearing test, you can significantly improve your ability to communicate with others. This can lead to stronger personal connections and help reduce feelings of social isolation.


    Improved overall well-being: Timely discovery and treatment of hearing issues can greatly enhance your quality of life, positively impacting your mental health and cognitive abilities.

Katrina Poznikow

Hearing Instrument Practitioner Apprentice

  • Bio

    Hey my name is Katrina Poznikow. I am originally from Edmonton Alberta, but relocated to Montrose BC in 2012. I am happily married and have 3 beautiful children. I started working at the Trail BC, and Castlegar BC location in the fall of 2019. I am currently a hearing instrument practitioner apprentice. I plan on completing my education at Douglas College in the Fall of 2023. 



    I strive for excellence in my field, and love helping people better their lives through the magic of sound. I am also a credited Industrial audiometric technician. In my spare time I enjoy spending time camping with my family in the many precious secrets of the Kootenays. I’m an avid golfer, runner, and dancer. I performed for Alberta Ballet, and was in the opening ceremony of the World Championship In Athletics. 



    I have passed my love of dance to my daughter. I am extremely dedicated to my career, very personable, and very thorough to make sure our patients are taken cared of, and needs are fulfilled to their highest expectations. I hope that you will come and see me for any of your hearing needs in the future. I look forward to meeting you.

Kerra Clarkston

Patient Care Coordinator

  • Bio

    I was born and raised in Trail, BC. I have worked for almost twenty years at Kootenay Hearing Aid & Audiology Clinic, and I am very excited that we have amalgamated with the awesome team at Dynamic Hearing Solutions. One of the best parts of my job is seeing people get fit with their new hearing aids and watching their faces light up when they say they have heard their cat purr for the first time in years.



    Bringing our clients back into the world of sounds is the most satisfying part of the job. When not at work I am usually at home with my chihuahua dog and two cats and enjoying working in my garden. I also love going to the arena to watch our hometown hockey team the Trail Smoke Eaters. Go Smokies!

Aladina Caron

Patient Care Coordinator

  • Bio

    Taanishi (Hello), my name is Aladina Caron. I was born and raised in the small town of Trail, BC. I speak a bit of Michif, the Métis language, and share my home with a beloved family of pets.


    For the past few years I’ve been traveling with Métis Nation British Columbia (MNBC). As a Métis youth representative, I actively listen to the needs and concerns of Métis youth, advocating for change and working closely with the MNBC board to discuss solutions and future initiatives. As I love to travel, I found myself missing home. 


    My auntie has dealt with hearing loss since she was little. Being able to see the benefits and how it helped her life, has intrigued me to find a profession that helps others and figure out their best options for their lifestyle. Now being apart of the team here, I hope to grow and excel within the company.
