“I HAVE HAD HEARING AIDS FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND THIS IS MY FOURTH PROVIDER. I HAD ONE ON ROCKLAND. I ALWAYS HAD TROUBLE KEEPING THEM IN AND ALWAYS GOT DIFFERENT PADS. MY DAUGHTER WORKS AS A HOUSE MOTHER AND SHE HAS TAKEN RESIDENTS TO HEARING ASSOCIATES AND TOLD ME TO GO THERE. THEY WILL FIX MY PROBLEMS. FIRST VISIT TOTALLY IMPRESSED. NEVER SAW ANY EQUIPMENT USED BY H.A . THAT WAS USED BY ANY OTHER PROVIDER. THE TESTS WAS EXTENSIVE AND IT WAS FOUND THAT I NEEDED TWO DIFFERENT SIZE PADS AS MY EARS WERE NOT BOTH THE SAME. NO ONE EVER THOUGHT TO TRY THAT. I HAD FOAM INSERTED IN MY EARS TO MAKE A MOLD OF MY EARS. THE DIFFERENCE WAS AMAZING. AND MY HEARING WOW. I HAD MY TV ON VOLUME 100 BEFORE H.A. AND I STILL HAD TROUBLE HEARING IT. NOW WITH MY NEW AIDS I AM AT VOLUME 15-20. MY HEARING IS VERY VERY BAD. LAST WEEK I WENT IN FOR SOME NEW WIRES THAT I HAD BENT. I ALSO HAD A PROBLEM WITH PAIN IN MY RIGHT OUTER EAR. I WAS AFRAID I WAS STUCK WITH THE MOLD I HAD . I SAW SELINA AND SHE CHECKED AND SAID YES MY EAR WAS RED. SHE TOOK THE AID AND FILED OFF SOME OF THE MOLD. THE PAIN HAS LESSENED BUT I MAY NEED A BIT MORE TAKEN OFF. SO I WILL CALL FOR AN APPOINTMENT. NOW THIS OFFICE, LIBERTYVILLE, IS AMAZING, HARDLY ANY WAIT IF ANY. EVERYONE INCLUDING TRICIA AND THE LADIES AT THE DESK ARE GREAT. FREINDLY, KNOWLEDGEABLE AND EFFICIENT. I KNOW THAT IF I HAVE OTHER PROBLEMS I CAN CALL FOR AN APPOINTMENT WITHOUT A LONG WAIT.. I AM SO GLAD MY DAUGHTER DIRECTED ME TO H.A. AND I HAVE BEEN TELLING A LOT OF PEOPLE ABOUT H.A. IN CASE THEY NEED HEARING HELP. I WOULD GIVE H.A AND ALL THEIR STAFF UNLIMITED NUMBER OF STARS. BRAVO”
