Blue Sky Hearing & Audiology

“Dr. Storm and Emily were super efficient, personable and congenial. I felt taken care of from completing forms to taking hearing test. Dr. Storm gently guided me through all aspects of hearing test to make for a very nice experience!”

“I can't say enough good about Dr. Storm and Blue Sky Hearing. Her manner is personable, her testing is comprehensive and when I walked out of the office my hearing was much clearer than it was when I walked in. Everyone in the office is friendly and knowledgeable. I live most of the time in New Mexico but the care I've been receiving there has not been good so it's very much worth it to schedule my visits to my family in Berkeley around visits to Blue Sky Hearing as well. I couldn't be happier with my experience there.”

“Dr. Storm and her staff are outstanding. The doctor is very knowledgeable and kind. Seeing Dr. Storm was a pleasant experience and I am looking forward to being able to hear once again. My next visit I will be selecting hearing aids.”

“Dr. Strom and her staff and the best. They have dealt with many of my family members. Some pleasant and some not so. Regardless of how my family shows up, they were always pleasant and professional. As far as the skill set, I'm very pleased with the way they handle the testing, instruments and explanations. Very pleased”

“If you're considering audiology services, I highly encourage you to visit Dr. Storm at Blue Sky Audiology. Her exceptional expertise and genuine care for her patients set her apart. Dr. Storm takes the time to truly listen and understand your needs, making every visit a positive experience. Her thorough and professional approach ensures you receive the best possible care. In addition to Dr. Storm's outstanding service, the office staff make scheduling and appointments seamless and pleasant. With their warmth and efficiency, you'll feel at ease from the moment you walk in.”

“Want to feel comfortable having your hearing tested? Want friendly people to help you with the process, help you make decisions that are best for your needs. Want explanations to your questions? Come meet Dr Storm and staff of Blue Sky Hearing. This is where I have been going for many years and have never regretted it and neither will you.”

“Dr. Storm and her gracious staff are helping me adjust to new hearing aides. It is a tedious and uncomfortable process but so far they have been patient with me. My new hearing aids work but while still not totally satisfactory are somewhat of an improvement. I hope to be able to write a more positive review when things work better for me.”

“Blue Sky Hearing and Dr. Storm are fantastic. I have been struggling with past audiologists who were unable to help me hear well and the difference between them and Dr. Storm bears no comparison. She is so much more knowledgeable and so much more willing to look for solutions. Plus everyone in the office is friendly and helpful. I am happy to have found Blue Sky Hearing and Dr. Storm and if you use them I know you will be satisfied as well.”

“Dr. Storm and her office are great. Best aids I've ever had and her attention to detail and making sure everything is optimally working are outstanding. Emily on her staff was incredibly helpful in working with my insurance company. ”

“I have been taken care of by Dr Storm for more than 10 years. She is an excellent technologist as well as a warm caring person. I have recommended many of my friends and family to see her for hearing issues. ”

“I've been seeing Dr. Storm for more than 15 years, and have always received excellent care. She has my strongest recommendation,”

“Timely, thorough and very pleasant”

“My husband and I used online reviews to find Susanna Storm, and it has been a great experience---her professionalism and especially her technological know-how and up to date equipment far surpassed our first audiologist. She is a woman of heart and makes a genuine connection with both of us. Her staff is competent, helpful on the phone and in person, and cheery to be around. Though the cost is greater than our previous situation, I wouldn't trade for the trust and quality of care we have now.”

“ I WAS VERY PLEASED WITH MY APPOINPMENT WITH DR STORM. I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH HER REGARDING BETTER HEARING.”

“Excellent service. Great personality. She took the time to explain everything and answer my questions. Very warm reception and enthusiastic attitude. It was worth the wait. ”

“Excellent evaluation and discussion of options. I'm looking forward to finding more satisfactory aids than I've had in the past ”

“The service Dr Storm provides is excellent. She tested my hearing with 3 different brands of hearing aids. Unfortunately my Phonak hearing aids have had to be repaired or replaced 3 times. Not Dr Storm’s fault but it’s been a problem for me. ”

“Dr. Storm is the absolute best. Knowledgable, supremely competent, and fun! I've been a patient for years and have only positive things to say.”

“Dr. Storm had adjusted a pair of hearing aids that I had purchased out of state. When their warranty ran out and I decided on new aids, Dr. Storm tested my hearing and made the suggestion of Oticon. There were a few 'maintenance' plans for me to choose from. I've been happy with the Oticon aids, with Dr. Storm's support, and with her testing. The office is "squeaky clean" - so important in these Covid times. Her office administrator, Emily, replies quickly when I call with a question. I began with Blue Sky when I moved from out of state, temporary in Berkeley, then to Walnut Creek for two years. Now I'm pleased to be living nearby again. Five stars ! ”

“Dr. Storm is very knowledgeable and intelligent about hearing aids and hearing. If there’s a problem, she takes care of it right away. I like the fact that she tested me on 3 different brands of hearing aids to find the right one for me. That goes way beyond the testing I received at Kaiser and Costco. ”

“As a hearing aid user I've been torn between the benefits that hearing aids bring and the limits of the technology. Blue Sky Hearing has changed all that for me. They have gotten my comprehension up to a level that I haven't experienced for decades. It has made all the difference at work and with friends and family. ”

“Excellent service, very professional. ”

“Dr. Storm and Emily were very professional and efficient. They were extra helpful to my needs as a person who uses a walker. All the steps during the visit were explained well. The office is pleasant and relaxing. A very good experience!”

“I have been going to Dr. Storm for a few years and have always received excellent service. She is thorough and ensures that she's informing me of what she sees. I recently moved and am still willing to drive in because I trust her.”

“I cannot improve on the word “excellent.””

“My first Audiologist & will be my ONLY ! She is the BEST as well as her Office Manager !!”

“I always look forward to my appointments at Blue Sky Hearing and Audiology.”

“After putting off hearing aids for too long, I finally came to Blue Sky Hearing in 2017. Dr. Storm is not just a talented audiologist, but also a pleasure to work with. I couldn't be happier with my fine hearing aids, and the change in my life that being able to hear well has made. Highest recommendation!”

“Friendly, expert and prompt service with very good results. I could ask for nothing more.”

“I am very impressed with Dr.Storm's ability to diagnose and treat my hearing impairment. Not only is she a good diagnostician she also is very effective in remediating problems, which in my case required perserverance with having the manufacturer make adjustments to the devices to fit my needs. Emily and Mathew, the office support staff, are personable,helpful, and efficient. It is a pleasure to work with them and to know that my concerns are taken seriously. Overall I highly recommend Blue Sky.”

“I have had the best possible experience with Blue Sky Hearing. The audiologist is experienced, skillful, kind and cheerful. She carried out extensive testing when I first came to see her in 2018 and found the perfect hearing aids for me. I am very satisfied with the care and service I have received since then. The reception staff are also very efficient and pleasant.”

“Very competent and helpful. ”

“Cheerful and very efficient service. I appreciate your keeping me in the land of the hearing!”

“Dr. Storm is very knowledgeable about hearing issues and hearing aids. I trust her expertise. ”

“This office is friendly and efficient, good with reminders of appointments. Doctor Storm has, in addition to prescribing and providing my hearing aids, greatly eased my problem with wax buildup. She also explains well all the test in she does on my ears and my hearing aids. I think this office is great!”

“Dr. Storm is very knowledgeable about all things related to hearing and hearing devices. I have a lot of confidence in her ability to provide the best experience that my hearing aids are capable of producing. I have recommended her to friends who have problems with hearing or with their hearing aids.”

“My first choice would be to have perfect hearing. Since that is no longer an option, my second choice is to work with Dr. Susannah Storm at Blue Sky Hearing. It seems that she knows everything there is to know about the physiology of hearing and the technology of hearing assistive technologies. I am recommending her without reservation to all my friends with hearing loss.”

“Wonderful, caring service including a lovely office space.”

“A pleasure to deal with people who listen and are knowledgeable in their craft. Dr. Storm is attentive and explains her diagnosis in easy to understand terms. The front desk is a pleasure to deal with as well.”

“They know what they are doing, and take care of me wonderfully. I would not go to another hearing group!”

“I always enjoy my visits to Blue Sky Hearing. Dr Storm is so pleasant to meet with, so professional and efficient at completing her assessments. I feel I receive the best examinations and carefully considered recommendations. I would be happy to recommend her services to anyone seeking hearing help.”

“Dr. Storm is efficient and very pleasant to deal with. As far as I can tell, her machinery and practices are at the cutting edge and certainly work for me and my hearing.”

“Dr. Storm is best described as a hearing professional who has an excellent ability to provide knowledge and experience in her hearing practice. She is gracious and attentive to her patients needs and well deserves a five star rating.”

“I have been seeing Dr. Storm for several years, and she always provides thoughtful advice and dependable examinations. As a result, the hearing aids she recommended work very well and help me to maintain a normal and active life. ”

“I had an excellent experience with Dr. Storm and I’ve recommended her to several friends. She tested my hearing with different devices to find the perfect choice for my particular deficiency.”

“Dr. Storm and staff are very personable and approachable. The office is spotless, and they take patient safety very seriously. I'm very glad I found this practice! ”

“This is a very professional clinic. Friendly reception, quality provider and without any qualification I would recommend Dr Storm and Blue Sky hearing. ”

“I switched to Blue Sky a year ago after a bad experience with another provider. I have been so happy with the service there. Dr. Storm took all the time needed to fix my ongoing problem and was such a pleasure to work with as was Kathy, the receptionist. I recently lost one of my hearing aides, and Kathy worked very hard to try and work out some way to help cover the replacement cost. When that didn't work (due to my decisions with the earlier provider,) they quickly replaced the device at a reasonable cost. I have recommended Blue Sky to friends, and they have been happy with the service as well.”

“I have been to a few different audiology practices in my decade-plus of hearing loss and Susanna Storm and Blue Sky Hearing are the best by a mile! Dr. Storm is not only highly trained and knowledgeable, but she is always a delight to interact with -- as is Kathy in the front office (SO important to have a pleasant, competent person in that position!!) I have recommended Blue Sky Hearing and will absolutely continue to do so!! ”

“My experience with Blue Sky Hearing & Audiology has been superb. On a scale of one to five, Blue Sky deserves a rating of ten. Dr. Storm is thoroughly professional, skillful and helpful. Without hesitation I would highly recommend Blue Sky to anyone interested in better hearing.”

“Blue Sky Hearing is about as user friendly as you can get. They are professional, friendly, obviously very competent and reassuring. I couldn't recommend them more highly. ”

“Just superb knowledge, service and care....I am so glad to have found Blue Sky!!”

“These guys are competent and professional, and really nice! All very top notch!”

“Dr Storm and Kathy are fantastic, and Blue Sky has fresh technology. My new hearing aides are so much nicer and more capable than what I had as a child. Scheduling is very easy, and appointments are on time! ”

“I went to Dr. Storm on the recommendations from several friends and she is fantastic. I never thought I’d be so excited to get hearing devices. ”

“Absolutely a fabulous doctor who makes going to get ones ears checked (In this case my elderly mothers) a fun experience. She is clear, thorough, knowledgeable and very sparkly fun. Wonderful person with a great personality. My elderly mother really feels taken care of. We highly recommend her. ”

“Blue Sky is a premier audiology facility. Dr. Storm is knowledgeable and warm. The office is welcoming and the staff are helpful. The only drawback is that they do not bill your insurance, which makes it harder to get reimbursed for the services even if they are covered. The prices are high, but you get what you pay for. Better hearing is worth every penny.”

“Had a very pleasant visit with Kathy and Dr. Storm in a bright efficient office. Dr. Storm had the most extensive testing devices and explained the procedures clearly. She mentioned the reasons for the latest hearing aid recommended for me. As a VA patient, she mentioned when the next visit would be to be fitted with the new device. I can't wait to put them on.”

“You guys are great! Thanks for all your help.”

“Dr. Storm is excellent. She pays careful attention to your problem. She communicates clearly and is efficient and prompt. Highly recommended. ”

“Easily the most efficient, encouraging and pleasant time I have spent with any healthcare provider. I felt immediately like I had a new partner in maintaining a good and aspirational quality of life.”

“Dr. Storm is professional, experienced, competent, quick and pleasant. The office--unlike two other Berkeley hearing outlets I visited--is pristine. Nobody, or perhaps just one person, waits in the hallway because an appointment starts precisely on time and ends precisely on time--not 5 or even 3 minutes late! The very same approach she undertakes regarding the professional assistance. Good advice, responsiveness to email, and, equally important, Dr. Storm is assisted by a professional and efficient receptionist-secretary. I choose the top of the line ReSound device, and price wise I found it comparable or cheaper than other providers. The price structure of Blue Sky ($ device+ $ service) is quite unique in the industry. Most providers sell complete packages. So if you opt for only 3 month service with Blue Sky you can cut the total price significantly. As a first time patient I opted for the full 2 year service.”

“Great experience, professional, informative, successful.”

“Purely responsive, professional, punctual, polite, kind and exceptionally proficient. It is really a joy to interact with a healthcare provider of this caliber. Don't spend anymore time looking for the best choice for your audiology needs, you have found it. ”

“When I walk into the Blue Sky Hearing office I am always greeted pleasantly, like the beautiful sunshine in the Blue Sky. When Dr. Storm comes into the lobby I am again welcomed with a bright smile! I was referred to her office by the VA. DR. Storm is compassionate in thanking and providing her services to Wounded Warriors. The VA has made an excellent Choice in having Dr. Storm partner with them to serve the needs of our veterans and community. Thank you Dr. Storm! ”

“I want to know everything and to understand it all - this requires great patience. Dr. Storm has been wonderful. She answers all my questions, she responds to emails, she understands, and she responds to unique situations with clarity. I just read the reviews that others have written and I agree with them all. It is a wonderful experience to find such a competent and kind and patient person who keeps an office running efficiently and pleasantly. Dr. Storm, and her staff (Karen) take care of all of us with our various hearing problems, focusing on the unique situation of each person/patient. I have recommended her without qualifications to many people and will continue to do so. ”

“Dr. Storm is an excellent listener/observer, and searches for the cause of hearing issues. She seems very up-to-date on devices, and is a pleasure to work with. She has gone out of her way to be helpful and supportive to me. I have recommended her to close friends.”

“I had several audiologists before Dr. Storm. She is the best. A great listener and very understanding of the issues faced by hearing impaired individuals. She actually was able to get me to be able to hear our of my right ear when many had said it was hopeless. She is very easy to work with.”

“Without reservation, Dr. S. Storm’s Blue Sky Hearing Clinic in Berkeley is definitely the place to visit for anyone needing an excellent service with hearing loss issue. She does an amazingly thorough examination. Thanks, Dr. Storm”

“I was sent to Dr Storm at Blue Sky Audiology as a VA referral. I am very happy with her attentiveness. She was fully prepared and ready with a comprehensive proposal and solution to my needs. Thank you Dr Storm and Blue Sky Audiology... and thank you to the VA for excellent care and service for myself and all bay area Veterans. YOU ROCK. !!!! ”

“I can’t imagine any better experience with an audiologist. Dr. Storm obviously enjoys her chosen profession and uses her knowledge to evaluate the hearing needs of and inform her patients. I came away from my first visit with confidence that I will end up with the appropriate solution for my hearing needs. It was enjoyable too.”

“Completely new to needing hearing aids, and not happy about entering this new world of assisted hearing devices—yet another marker of aging. Went to Dr. Storm, and couldn’t be more satisfied. Personable, knowledgeable, patient. She is exactly the guide I needed to navigate me through this complex process. Highly recommend her!”

“I learned so much about TLC for hearing aids from Dr. Storm. She really knows her stuff!”

“Blue Sky Hearing and Dr. Storm are amazing! The attention, service and knowledge exceeded what I was expecting. I am beyond happy and satisfied with my experience and my titanium ears. This is a relationship based boutique, not a buy and bye-bye storefront. Highly recommend!”

“I have been wearing hearing aids for 20+ years. I changed audiologists because I wasn't satisfied with the casual attitude of my previous professional. I have found the audiologists at Blue Sky to be very thorough with my examination and the fitting of my hearing aids. I'm very satisfied with my experience at Blue Sky.”

“Who would think that the work of dealing with hearing loss could be pleasant, up-beat, exciting and fun? Well that’s exactly what happens at Blue Sky. Incredible customer service, deep knowledge and a feeling that you are in very good hands. Dr. Storm and Dr. Gregoire approach their work with passion. ”

“Drs. Storm and Gregoire are the doctors I trust most with my hearing. I've worn hearing aids for 40 years. Finding Drs. Storm and Gregoire was the best thing to have happened to my hearing in that time. As doctors of audiology, they understand the physics of sound and the physiology of hearing in a way no other kind of hearing aid vendor could. They also understand people--or at least me--and they're great at solving problems, explaining things, and offering different options in different price ranges. I especially appreciate that they are up-to-date on the latest hearing aid technology--thanks to which I'm able to function well even as my hearing gets worse.”
