“Mackenzie and Brandon have taken care of me in the past year and they are both personable and know their products. I have gone there for years and never was disappointed. I recently moved to Nashville, but still came in when my husband worked in Chicago. Hearing aides were the best decision I made, Hearing Health Center is also.”

“My left hearing aid stopped working, so I called HHC, hoping to fix it without a trip downtown. And it worked. Brandon walked me through the problem, helped me to diagnose it and then took me step by step through how to resove it. Half an hour and I was good to go! Excellent, friendly service. The best!”

“I'm extremely disappointed in this office. They issued me trial hearing aids which I returned. I asked the front desk for a receipt when I returned them and they said they don't issue receipts on return, yet they made me sign a checkout form when I was loaned them. But I did return them, the receptionist acknowledged it and now they are saying they will charge me if they aren't returned by a certain day. I knew something like this would happen and should've insisted even more but the receptionist ASSURED me they were returned. She offered to issue my invoice for my hearing appointment which I already has but wouldn't issue a receipt. So now they will try to charge me for their error. I also called their office for a hearing technician appointment and they said they'd call me back which they never did. I ended up just ordering Jabra OTC hearing aids even though I loved the Widex ones that they are accusing me of keeping. Be aware And to add I'm a repeat customer, I spent like $3 or $4 thousand a couple of years ago and now am being accused of being dishonest. I haven't been this angry in a long long long time.”

“On August 1, 2024 I had a hearing test and evaluation with Dr. Lindsey Koehn, Audiologist at the Hearing Health Center, Streeterville location. I sat in a booth with headphones on while I listened to quite a variety of sounds at various volumes, pitches, background noise and silence. Afterwards, Dr. Koehn provided me a nice pictorial of my “Audiogram Test Results” and spent a lot of time patiently explaining the results and answering my many clarifying questions. According to my results I had hearing losses in both ears and she provided me sample hearing aids to experience the difference hearing aids could make. I did notice a positive difference, but I decided to wait and check back in another year. I will look forward to seeing Dr. Koehn next year! ”

“My husband and I have been clients for about 10 years at the Hearing Health Center in the city of Chicago. The service is excellent, thanks to Jennifer who holds the front desk together. There's a lot of turnover of audiologists and technicians but almost all of them have been pleasant and competent. In a couple of incidences when I've lost a hearing aid or was having some technical issue, they have been available and helpful.”

“As a long-time patient, I continue to have only the best experiences with the doctors and staff. Most recently, I had an urgent need and the office manager, Jennifer, went above and beyond to assist me and resolved the issue in the shortest possible time. Anyone with hearing loss understands how each hour with sub-optimal hearing is excruciating. Jennifer has helped me in similar ways time and time again. She is dependable, resourceful, and compassionate. I feel very fortunate to be a patient here. ”

02/26/2024 Review submitted online
“I’ve been a patient of Hearing Health Center, first in the western suburbs and then in Chicago, for well over a decade. I started with the in-the-ear-canal Lyric device and after several years progressed to traditional hearing aids. At every stage, the audiologists at Hearing Health Center have helped me select the most appropriate solution for my changing hearing. They’ve provided great support when any occasional problems arose. I am aware that hearing aids are available at lower cost from a variety of other sources – – but for me there is no substitute for the professionalism and expertise I count on from Hearing Health Center.”

“I have been going to this hearing clinic since the 90's. They are very professional and knowledgeable with any hearing concerns you have. Jennifer as always is very welcoming. I didn't get the young lady's name on my last visit but she was also very helpful. My audiologist Brendan Molina was great and very attentive to my nee ds and concerns. Would definitely recommend this clinic if you are experiencing any hearing issues.”

“I went in for my 6-month hearing aid check this week and let MacKenzie know that I had been struggling with inserting the aids resulting in my rarely wearing them. She listened and explained options that included a new smaller dome. She then helped me practice until I was comfortable pitting in and taking out the aids, all the while providing positive and encouraging feedback. I am much happier with the hearing aids and am taking her mantra to heart -- practice, practice.”

“I would have said excellent but on this maintenance visit I had to leave my hearing aids until pick up the next day. That was a double inconvenience. A) not hearing well for the evening B) having to return to the office a 2nd time when I normally wait for them to be checked and cleaned”

I was in and out within 5 minutes. My experiences with the Hearing Health Center have always been wonderful.

“Brandon is Superman. My hearing aid need a prompt repair. In the time it would take to run to a phone booth, he had replaced the missing part, solved two other problems not the subject of my visit, and advised me about innovations on the horizon that will improve my hearing even further. And he did this with patience, professionalism, and a smile. EXPERT in all caps.”

“I have been a patient for over 5 years with the Hearing Health Center in Chicago. The professionals, the technicians and the administration have been excellent each and every time I have been there. From accurately assessing my needs, to providing excellent testing and quality products as well as working with the insurance companies, they have been excellent. I trust them. Dr. Koehn has proven to have a very extensive knowledge of audiology and it was a pleasure working with her. Brandon, and the person he was training, did an excellent job in preparing my phone for the new hearing aids I just received. Thank you all. When I lived downtown, I could walk to the offices. Now I travel over 20 miles to return and meet with the most amazing and competent Jennifer at the front desk, as well as the professional staff, and I consider it well worth it. Thank you for providing me with the ability to hear and engage in conversations with friends. YOU ARE ALL TERRIFIC. ”

“This place is amazing. They are so helpful and compassionate from the beginning through the appointments. I was referred to them by my insurance company who gave me several choices in my area. I picked Hearing Helath Center based on their reviews and website. My Audiologist was great and very knowledgeable.

“I received a great deal of personal attention. And some new (to me) technology I had to deal with was explained in a manner that was easy to understand and apply. Knowing I would need time to adjust to the new hearing aids, a date in about a week was set to come in and review. Costs were not discussed, which I found to be what I expected, but I'd recommend discussing costs early on in the session with patients who are new to the cost of top-grade hearing aids.”

“I have been a customer of the Hearing Health Center for over 6 years. Their professionals are always courteous, curious and knowledgeable. Their testing has always been up to date and evolving as necessary. They work well with insurance companies now that much is covered. I recommend them to anyone for testing. I did not realize I needed hearing aids even when close friends and relatives told me I did. As I was being tested, I could tell that I needed them. I wear them ALL DAY and only take them out at night. You will IMMEDIATELY notice the sounds that you no longer hear but remembered from when your hearing was better. I have moved miles away from their office, but schedule a trip 2x a year for cleaning and updating because I trust them. ”

“I was referred to Dr.Katrina Lapham Guntin by a young man who had lost hearing in one ear, and was grateful for all her care and help. I've been to excellent Northwestern Hospital specialists for my debilitating tinnitus. Dr. Guntin was very thorough in her testing and determination in selecting a device that would improve my diminishing hearing, and counteract maddening pulsating. After selecting the best device, the improvement in hearing was immediate. I have had no problem adapting to the small ear devices anatomically & aesthetically. I have great confidence continuing my treatment under Dr. Katrina Guntin's expertise.”

“This review is a little late. I was telling my sister of my experience with this hearing center and she said I needed to write a review. I did not know how so she showed me. I live in Utah. My daughter met a native of Milwaukee and they planned an outdoor wedding at the Daley Plaza in downtown Chicago. The wedding was scheduled for the Labor Day weekend. I am deaf in my left ear. I have only 30% hearing in my right ear. I wear a hearing aid in my right ear and a cross over hearing aid in my left ear. The day before the wedding my hearing aid for my only hearing ear failed to charge. I would not be able to hear the wedding without a new battery. On the Friday afternoon before the Holiday weekend this hearing center who was a stranger to me agreed to try to assist me. I do not know their names but the receptionist and hearing aid technician were the kindness saviors a 70 year old father could ever expect to find. I left with the ability to hear and attended the rehearsal dinner and wedding being fully able to participate. This business has the most wonderful employees and culture of caring for the hearing impaired. They saved memories I would not have but for their kindness ”

“I am a musician and music lover, and the sound quality of my Signia hearing aids is fantastic. Because I so depend on the aids, I was dismayed when one of them suddenly stopped amplifying. I called for an appointment at the Chicago office and was seen by Ms. Linet Lopez the same day. Within half an hour, she solved the technical issue, cleaned both hearing aids and their case, and had my on my way--hearing perfectly. I so appreciate HHC's responsiveness and Ms. Lopez' expertise, professionalism, and kindness! ”

“I have been to three previous providers and Hearing Health Center is by far the best I have ever been to. The entire staff is knowledgeable, personable and highly accommodating! Of special note is Dr. Fisher, the audiologist, whose good humor, knowledge, sparkling personality and generosity are without equal. I had a rather complex problem with trying to switch from a current provider to Hearing Health Center and thanks to the efforts by Dr. Fisher, it was finally resolved. They truly work to satisfy their clients and establish the best working relationship with them. No wonder they have been so successful since 2008! The staff who works there is unmatched in their knowledge and professionalism, as well as their interpersonal relationships. ”

“Amanda has been very helpful in assisting both me and my wife, Katie, in selecting and maintaining our hearing aids over the past several years. Corrine was very understanding and patient yesterday while giving both of us instructions in how to make the best use of them.”

“As a long-time Chicago resident and user of hearing aids, I've visited perhaps a half-dozen audiology centers downtown and in the suburbs. I discovered Hearing Health Center a couple years ago and plan to stay with them for the duration. My current audiologist is HHC's Dr. Katrina Lapham. I appreciate her interest in my particular expectations regarding hearing aids, makes her own suggestions, and then works with me for the best possible solutions. ”

“I have not been to the office in a year and a half because of COVID and wasn’t having any problems. The remodeling has been completed and has the look of professionalism which the staff of professionals exudes as well. I have been to the office three times and was taken at the time scheduled. During my appointments I was treated with both courtesy and patience without being rushed and having all my questions answered. Time was taken to be sure I understood my answered questions. I would recommend the office at 142 Ontario in Chicago to someone needing hearing aids and wants to be treated in a friendly manner. ”

“I came in for a reassessment of my new hearing aids. I had two issues that Dr. Lapham worked very patiently to resolve. When the domes were corrected and the charts on the computer screen meticulously set I was ready to test the aids. Going home on the bus I realized I was hearing very clearly everything around me with no static. At the end of the day at home the domes had not made my ears sore. I feel that I was hearing almost as I normally would have before. Unless there is any change, I don't expect to see Dr. Lapham until my next exam in December. She spent the necessary time to make sure that my aids did the job they're supposed to do. It was a great visit. Many thanks for Dr. Lapham.”

I am confident I will be happy with them and am looking forward to hear all the things I have missed. ”

“On April 13, I had an appointment with with Elizabeth Matthews at 4:00pm. I arrived about 3:50 signed in but around 4:35 I had not been called-in or spoken to by anyone therefore, I approached the receptionist and asked her if no one was available to help me that I must leave, the receptionist then informed Elizabeth Matthew that I was waiting to see the technician. Once I was in with Elizabeth Matthews she was very knowledgeable, helpful and also apologized for the wait. I rate Elizabeth Matthews Above and beyond Average . I believe the front desk needs more customer service training. ”

It is easy to get an appointment when needed. I recently visited to inquire about newer and more advanced hearing aids and I was given a new different type of hearing aids to try for a few days to see how I liked them. Now how's that for service? I can't wait for Covid restrictions to end so they can put their delicious cookies back in the waiting room. Just a nice perk. ”

“This is somewhat a tale of the pandemic. My mother has been a client here for awhile, as was my father. We’d been enjoying not having to show up every month for her Lyric replacements, & we let the fine-tuning slide with her new brand, as it only required a battery change at home. Then Covid hit. After several months of lockdown, her 1st outing was to Hearing Health. When you only have the phone for contact & your hearing aids aren’t working, it’s bad. Unfortunately the test in the soundproof booth was a bust, & we were told that unfortunately there was nothing to be done but turn up the volume. I had just read an article about the critical effect hearing loss has on cognition, so I called back. At that point we were introduced to Dr. Emily Trittschuh. Dr. Emily, it turns out, had trained at a pediatric hospital, & she brought all of her specialized experience to bear on my mother’s hearing test. The standard system hadn’t worked, so the doctor invented methods which worked for my mother. On the spot. And remember, we all had on masks, so the visual part was gone— no lip reading, facial cues, etc. She was creative, innovative, resourceful, patient, precise; her professional experience & personal sensitivity enabled her to improvise new methods of communication and, lo & behold, she succeeded in extracting ALL the information she needed to reset every single value in those hearing aids which could help my mother hear. Not just the volume. As I watched this maestro work her magic, I burst into tears. You don’t realize the terrible stress of what is, in effect, the loss of a relationship because of technical difficulties! Until you realize that you’re going to get it back. Over the years we have had one audiologist pay a house call to my dad in the hospital, one do a curbside removal of my mom’s Lyrics prior to an MRI, & Dr. Emily is now working with the manufacturer to optimize settings for the technology of my mother’s landline. Even Jennifer & the receptionists are lovely~ pre-Covid, they baked you cookies in the waiting room! I can’t recommend Hearing Health Center, and especially Dr Emily Trittschuh, enough. ”

I cherish, and take great pride in our overwhelmingly positive reviews. That being said, sometimes, we mess up. John, in your case, we messed up big time. Nearly everyone with whom you spoke or met dropped the ball somewhere. Since reading your review, I have relentlessly pursued and investigated what happened and where we went wrong. We, Hearing Health Center, and I personally, are renowned for being brutally honest and totally transparent. I just want you to know that your poor experience is not dismissed or taken lightly. If I were you, I would be outraged, upset and frustrated. You have every right to be angry. On behalf of my team, I apologize to you. Dr. Ronna Fisher, AuD, FAAA Hearing Health Center ”

“Now in my mid-80s, I have acquired over half a dozen health care providers I see on a regular or semi-regular basis and the only one I look forward to visiting is Hearing Healthcare Center. This is partially because they really know what they’re doing and the results have been excellent, but also because they are the nicest, most genuinely concerned group of people. I had been told that they treat their patients like family and I was skeptical. But I have to say that maybe they treat me even better. I usually go to their office downtown, not far from my apartment. But sometimes I am close to one of their suburban offices and in need of an adjustment or batteries. Although I have not been there in six months or longer, when I go into one of those offices everyone seems to know me, greets me by name and is fully aware of my needs. This is totally unlike any of my other doctor’s offices. Most of my friends have hearing aids or need them and I unhesitatingly recommend Hearing Health Center. Nobody has complained. ”

Received 03/18/2019Official Response from Hearing Health Center - Chicago:“You have been a patient for ten years and purchased three sets of hearing aids. Our billing protocol, on each occasion, was the same. We billed your insurance the MSRP (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price) nearly the same amount for each set of hearing aids. The MSRP is approximately twice the usual and customary charge, not “5X,” as stated in your review. Every patient is billed the MSRP. Patients who pay at the time of service receive a “prompt pay” discount. This prompt pay discount is not reflected when filing to insurance. For patients with a defined benefit (a stated amount), the reimbursement from insurance is the same, regardless of the amount billed. There is no advantage to Hearing Health Center in billing the MSRP. For many of our patients however, it can be significantly advantageous. Oftentimes, hearing benefits are unknown and unclear. Reimbursement might be a percentage of the amount billed and deductible requirements vary widely. Our patients are extremely grateful when their out of pocket costs are reduced. After ten years, and three sets of hearing aids, I am unclear as to why you are suddenly surprised, upset, complaining and writing bad reviews. ”
“The audiologist was very knowledgeable.”
