“The folks at Timpanogos Hearing were extremely pleasant, thorough, and competent with our hearing exams. My husband and I each had our first hearing test by Dr. Garrett. Though my husband will require further treatment and hearing devices, Dr. Garrett found that my hearing was within the normal range and I do not currently need hearing devices. Dr. Garrett is extremely honest and knowledgeable about the best hearing options. We would recommend Timpanogos Hearing to anyone! ”

“They have an impressive desire to help others hear better. I had a problem that was difficult to fix. They tried several options and worked on it without giving up, until they found the answer. I am now able to hear more normally and miss out on much less of what is going on around me. I am astounded at their dedication to their career. In this age of no customer service, I found it refreshing to have them treat me like I was an important person and that they were there to serve and assist me in any way.”

“I have never had such a positive experience with a Dr Appt nor treated so well. I am so glad I started here with my hearing issues instead of going to primary care physician and then on to a specialist. I can’t believe how much knowledge Timpanogos Hearing & Balance offers in just one visit. I am so pleased to be able to hear without all the static I have been experiencing for years. They have remarkable testing, and I am able to hear so much better with my hearing devices. Thank you Seth for taking the extra time with me! This means the world to me!!”

“Had an amazing experience with my new Oticon More 1 hearing aids. Went to a Utah State football game and with all the background noise from the crowd, I could clearly hear my daughter speaking to me in the seat next to me! Dr. Garrett took over 2 hours testing my hearing, reviewing my options and provided great professional service. I am now connecting another family member with him to seek the same helpful care!”

“when they say they can help with your hearing don't believe it . they don't listen to you they try to tell you what you hear . you spend 7,000 .00 for nothing. don't go there if you have ringing in your ear. They will tell that they can fix it . They can't . For a hearing clinic they don't hear you. it's madding . ”

“Over the years, my hearing has been declining due to a genetic disease. When I finally decided it was time to get some hearing aids, I didn't know where to start. I stumbled up Timpanogos Hearing & Balance and read good reviews. I scheduled my initial appointment and showed up for a hearing assessment. Dr Garrett and his staff were very friendly and understanding and explained everything about the process. I took the tests and they went over the results with me thoroughly. When it was decided that I needed hearing aids, they showed me the different options. They allowed me to choose a set for a trial period of a couple weeks. When I returned them, I tried a different style to see which I preferred. Finally, after getting to trial a few different styles, I decided on the ones I wanted and they set me up with a new pair. The price was great and actually lower than I was expecting. They are always helpful and friendly when I talk with them and do not hesitate to offer any help I may need. If you're in the market for hearing aids, whether a first time user or not, do yourself a favor and give Timpanogos Hearing and Balance a try. You won't be disappointed. ”

“I am really pleased with the new hearing aids I recently purchased from you. The Doctors and Staff at Timpanogos Hearing and Balance were very friendly and professional, giving expert advice on the right product for me. It was really terrific being able to give the hearing aids a test run and I knew within a day they were perfect for me. Staff members from the Hearing and Balance office contacted me a couple of times during the first 24 hours to see how they were working out and whether any adjustments were needed. The Doctors gave me detailed instructions at a follow-up appointment on the myriad technical functions built in to the hearing aids and took the time to answer all my questions. Overall, my experience at Timpanogos Hearing and Balance, and the service I received was outstanding! Thank You! ”

“From the time I first walked through their doors, I have received only the very best service from Timpanogos Hearing and Balance. The front office staff are pleasant, respectful and helpful. The doctors are excellent and efficient. I knew I had been experiencing hearing loss for years. I just didn't realize how much loss. I was fitted with an excellent pair of hearing aids and given a whole week to try them out without obligation. I was sold within minutes of leaving the office, as I was hearing things I had missed for years. I was given the option to finance the hearing aids and received excellent counsel on how to make the payments. I just had my first year follow-up, and am still impressed and delighted with my whole experience at Timpanogos Hearing and Balance. ”

“My experience at Timpanogos Hearing and Balance was both refreshing and rewarding from reception to exit. Dr Garrett took the time to explain my hearing test results. He explained them so that I could understand. He assisted me in my decision process as to what type of hearing aids would work best for my situation. This being my first pair of hearing aids I was treated with patience and respect. No question was treated as insignificant or left unanswered. I left with a pair of hearing aids suited and programmed for my hearing loss. I heard my turn signal for the first time in many years. My grandkids always told me it made a noise. My second visit for a tune up was equally refreshing. A Five Star Experience”

“I have had excellent service from both Dr. Garrett and Sparrow during the last 5 years. They have helped with new technology as it has become available, and also helped me avoid wasting my money on cheap substitutes for the hearing aids I really needed. I feel I am even experiencing some restoration of brain function with the latest aids. I have many times recommended them to friends and associates, without reservation.”

“Dr Garrett and Dr. Sparrow are the best hearing professionals to provide hearing care for me ever. They are knowledgeable and up to date on the most recent hearing technologies. They listened to me and then researched to identify the best hearing instruments for my needs. Now I am able to not only hear better, but also talk on my phone with blue-tooth connection through my hearing aids. As I retire and move away, I will miss them and their staff greatly.”
