You rarely test your hearing. The day you need to, there's no time left. A child needs a hearing test before kindergarten, an older relative needs ear cleaning, and the clinic only opens weekdays until five. We looked at when hearing specialists actually see patients. Counted on October 20, 2026: ooon.ai lists 102 hearing specialist profiles, and 77 of them show hours
Four times out of five. Saturday appears in the schedule for 62 of the 77 profiles. Sunday appears for almost half
| Sign | Profiles | Share of 77 |
|---|---|---|
| Saturday in the schedule | 62 | 81% |
| Sunday in the schedule | 38 | 49% |
| Saturday opens before 9:00 | 35 | 45% |
| Weekday closing at 20:00 or later | 40 | 52% |
Almost every profile with listed hours sits in two cities: Almaty and Astana. Other cities have only a handful
| City | Total profiles | With hours | Saturday | Sunday | Weekday closing from 20:00 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Almaty | 54 | 41 | 85% | 61% | 63% |
| Astana | 21 | 14 | 71% | 43% | 57% |
Shymkent has five profiles, and only one shows hours. Ust-Kamenogorsk and Aktau each have three profiles. If you live outside the two big cities, start with a phone call
If you only need ear cleaning, call and ask whether an ENT doctor can do it the same day
People write about hearing problems in the evening, right when they remember them. A message left unanswered until morning often goes to another clinic instead. The ooon.ai AI staff member replies on WhatsApp right away and books the next open slot
We counted active profiles in the ooon.ai database, built from 2GIS, under the "Hearing specialist" category. Counted on October 20, 2026: 102 profiles, 77 with hours listed. Shares are calculated against the groups named next to them
Saturday and Sunday mean that day appears in the schedule. Weekday closing from 20:00 counts any weekday with that closing time
This is a dated snapshot of the ooon.ai database, not a full list of hearing specialists nationwide. Smaller cities have too few profiles, so we didn't calculate shares for them
A profile without listed hours doesn't mean the doctor isn't seeing patients
A clinic's hours don't confirm that the specific specialist you need is working that day
