“Hearing evaluation was done quickly and professionally. Office staff and audiologist was very helpful. Cost of proposed hearing aid was high compared to others in the area (I checked with other local providers). Also, testing/trial of hearing aids was not risk-free, I would be out $500 if the prescribed hearing aid did not work for me. That's a steep price just to see if the hearing aids provide any benefit to me or not.”

“I have been going to Hearing Assoc. for over 5 years. I needed an urgent appointment and when I called to get in the receptionist who took my call was very kind and found a time for me to come in to have my hearing aid fixed. Jennie I believe her name was able to fix my issue on the spot and spent time with me to explain how to fix the issue if it happens again.”
