“Very professional group, very kind, as always and a pleasure to work with. I prefer dealing with a local vendor as opposed to a big box store. ”

“After visiting two other companies for hearing issues, I found California Hearing Center was the most professional and versatile. My husband accompanied me to the first, very comprehensive appointment that included a hearing test, and an explanation of my hearing deficit in both ears, seen on personalized graphs. The different types, and brands of hearing devices and accessories were described to best meet my need and comfort level. Follow up visits are easily available to address any necessary changes. The sophisticated, programming technology for hearing devices upgrades their capability as new innovations are realized. After watching this process unfold, my husband decided to have his ears evaluated! We both left that afternoon with hearing devices! ”
