“Including my ins coverage, my aids cost $3,000. I ordered them from HCA in late July, 2022-delv'd and tuned in mid Aug, right one failed after 3 days. Had to go to HCA for it to be fixed, then both Oticon aids failed and were returned for repair/repl in next 10 days. New aids with another appt, which is an inconvenience. Both of them failed, again, in next 3 weeks. All the while sound quality was poor with background noise obliterating speech even 3 feet away. Horrible experience from start to finish. I have asked for a full refund and will return the charger today to get the process started.”

“Ashley was my audiologist and she was great! I only have positive things to say about her service. She even contacted my insurance company and made it easy for me to get my hearing aids. Her advice was spot-on and I feel that I got the best hearing aids for my hearing. *****”

“Ashley Richburg was my audiologist and she was great to work with. She helped me select the right hearing aid and made several adjustments to get it just right for me. She told me I can come back any time to get further adjustments if I need them. Definitely recommend HCA and Ashley. ”

“I'm not one to write reviews, but had such a good experience that I decided to write one. Ashley Richburg, Au.D., CCC-A, is my audiologist and was able to get the perfect hearing aids for me (that are covered by my insurance)! She answered all of my questions, and was able to get me all set up in a short amount of time! Very professional, great experience, I highly recommend her!”

“HCA came highly recommended by a friend of my wife, and I am so pleased I followed up. Ashley Richburg, Au.D., CCC-A, is my audiologist and consultant. She quickly picked up on my frustrations with my hearing aids at the time, gave me a full audiological assessment, and together we identified a couple of hearing aid models. I had done my own research as well before deciding to upgrade my hearing aids, and the model Dr. Richburg recommended was the model I was most impressed with and ended up buying. Dr. Richburg impressed me with her concern and interest in my hearing loss and her commitment to improving my quality of life.”
