Was very happy with my husband's experience. Got an appointment quickly and received hearing aids within a few days. Staff was friendly and helpful... I would recommend to whoever has hearing issues. And the best thing he can hear more clearly.

We were very satisfied with the staff. Everything was explained to us thoroughly but were surprised at the cost and also what portion the insurance company would pay. I’m checking with my insurance company to see just how much they will cover.
