“I have been a VERY satisfied client of Berry Hearing Aid & Audiology for the last 4 years. Coral Jud is the greatest at her job. She has always been very thorough in answering all my questions and concerns from the very beginning. I am so glad that I chose BHAA when I decided to pursue the possibility of purchasing hearing aids. I moved away from Fort Dodge last year but she continues to give me support whenever I need it. I made a return trip to Fort Dodge this past week. I made an appointment with Coral and always her service was impeccable. Coral cleaned and check my aids and I was on my way. I highly recommend BHAA to anyone considering hearing aids or those that have older hearing aids to schedule an appointment to visit with Coral. You will be glad you did.”

“The Doctor was very rude. I had an appointment on the 18th that the clinic had made and I call immediately to Change the appointment to today at 10:30. When I arrived the Doctor said no you missed your appointment it was the 18th and before I could say anything she turned and left.
The receptionist was nice. I explain I had called and changed my appointment and she admitted that they didn’t write it down. Why doesn’t this office send appointment reminders so this could have been prevented? Very rude. I’ve haven’t seen this rudeness from a Doctor ever. I rebooked again but I felt like if she’s this rude now what would she be like if I was a patient. Also for a hearing facility it was so noisy. Office tv was on, me and the receptionist couldn’t hear each other. No wonder why they didn’t write my appointment down probably couldn’t hear me over the phone!!!

“My hearing has improved so much since being fitted with my Oticon hearing aids. I really notice how poorly I hear when I remove them at night. My audiologist has also provided me with a TV Sound Box which is great so I do not have to have the TV volume turned so high. ”

“I like the OPN miniRite aids. I like watching TV, talking to my wife is better and i hear better. Dr. Jud has been great, listens to me and advises me what to do to help my hearing.”

“I like the OPN miniRite aids best. I like being able to understand words when people speak, even when in crowds, voices are more clear. Like being able to understand the TV very comfortable. Tried and purchased hearing aids from 2 other local businesses, very unsuccessful experience.”

“I'm getting used to my new aids, hearing people's voices better, even in noisy places. I hear the background noise, I didn't hear that before, but it's ok, I like them. I hear much better now!

“So never did I ever think that I would need hearing aids at the age of 52, boy was I wrong. I was a little down having to have them at such a young age, but a family member recommended Berry Hearing Aid center to me.
When I went in I didn't know what to expect, I haven't had a hearing test since I was in school. With the staff and Dr. Jud they made it simple and painless. Mindy at the front was super nice and super sweet and helped me through the process and made me feel comfortable. When I meet Dr. Jud it was amazing, its not everyday you go into a doctors office and they take the time to listen, and get to know you. Dr Jud listened to all my concerns and addressed everyone of them, and she cared about me and spent sometime getting to know me as well.
So to make a long story short I went through the process and was fitted for my hearing aids.
Hearing aids are not cheap and Dr. Jud walked me through all the financial options and we picked the best option for me. I never realized what I was missing until I got my hearing aids. There comfortable and not only do I love them but everyone around me loves then because they don't have to talk loud now.
Dr. Jud and Mindy at Berry hearing center in Fort Dodge Iowa are amazing and I would highly recommend them to anyone. You would be a fool to go anywhere else, they will make you feel good about yourself and you will have a great experience.

“When I came in with problems, Dr Jud helped me which I really appreciate! She is wonderful! She has always helped me - loaned me hearing aids until I could afford to get mine repaired. She has always given me something to wear if I need them. ”

“Don't let them waste your time like they did mine. It took 2-1/2 weeks to get in, had to fill out countless redundant forms, only to finally be told it would be "at least 2 or 3 months" before I could get hearing aids. I was treated EXTREMELY RUDELY by all staff members throughout the frustrating "process". I then went somewhere else and within 3 days had my hearing aids and experienced none of the hassles or rude, uncaring treatment I received at Berry.”

“She's very thorough and is very good at explaining everything and the technology and how it works. She convinced my husband that he needed hearing aids. That was the best part.”

“I recently had to send my aids in for repair. Every morning, the radio plays the National Anthem. One day it sounded bad and I wondered why they changed the recording. Then I realized, I didn't have my aids on. I no longer could pick out the sounds of the musical instruments, like the trumpet. I now know how much my Oticon hearing aids help me to hear more clearly. ”

“Yes, I would recommend Berry Hearing Aid & Audiology. Gone are the days when I have to struggle to hear conversations at meetings. I now know I missed our so much on what was said. I would suggest that anyone thinking they may need hearing aids should not hesitate. You will not be disappointed. ”

“I would recommend BHAAC to others. I was fit with the new Oticon Atlas Pro (mini RITE) aids recently and am amazed that as poor as my hearing is, the sound is so natural. They work well and I understand more of what is said. TV even sounds good. The aids are easy to insert and I forget that I even have them on. ”

“I would recommend Berry HAAC to others - Dr Jud has opened up a whole new world to me when she fit my new Agil Pro mini RITE aids. I hear like I never did before. I just love these aids!!”

“I have been wearing one aid that I purchased from Berry's many years ago. Several months ago I decided to get a second aid. While there, Dr Jud gave me a complete hearing test and determined I needed a second aid. Since then I've been hearing better than I ever thought I could and my family is happier. Thank you, Coral!!”

“I have been coming to Berry Hearing Aid & Audiology Center for about 2+ yrs now. Dr Jud fit me with new aids that are small, light weight and the sound quality is excellent. I can wear them when I go out with my friends to restaurants, bars & to the bowling alley (sometimes). I hear and understand in most all of these situations. I am happy with the service that I receive @ Berry's. They are great to work with!

“I like coming to Dr Jud, she helps me to hear better! She let me try different aids until we found the ones that I heard the best with. I have Meniere's and my hearing is loss is more complicated. I have trouble understanding what people say to me, sometimes even in quiet. Dr Jud has helped me learn communication strategies to overcome my inability to hear conversations, especially in noise. ”

“I'm a lifelong customer of Berry Hearing Aid ... over 50 years ... I remember Coral when I as a little squirt! Coral started out as a receptionist!! I have seen & experienced the growth of her career into a professional, updated technology of the hearing world. She's compassionate of her client's needs, honest, trustworthy. I HIGHLY recommend her .... with the ever changing technology ... I have worn many aids over the years .... Coral knows her field very well and stays on tasks with the technology. ”
