Recently, they detected that my left ear hearing aid wasn't working, and needed repair. The repair was quite effective, and the hearing aid was quickly returned. I am very pleased with how the hearing aids are working now.”

“Friendly and excellent follow-up using and maintaining my hearing aids.”

“I WENT TO THE OAKBROOK LOCATION TO HAVE MY HEARING AID AND HEARING CHECKED BECAUSE MY HEARING SEEMED TO HAVE DEMINISHED WITHOUT THE AIDS. I DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THE DOCTOR. SHE WAS NOT VERY PERSONSBLE. SHE WAS MERELY FUNCTIONAL. I HAD TO ASK IF THERE WAS WAX BUILD UP IN MY EARS AND WHAT WAS THE HEARING TEST RESULTS. SHE NO EXPLANATION AS TO HEARING TO ISSUE WITHOUT AIDS BUT SAID THE AIDS THEMSELVES WERE DIRTY AND SHE CLEANED AND RESET THEM. HOWEVER, THE REST OF THE STAFF WAS VERY FRIENDLY AND PROFESSIONAL. ”

“Very disappointed in the service I was given by the dr. I’ve been a previous customer and never have been treated so cold at a hearing test. The dr. Never went over my test and comparisons to past tests. It felt like all she wanted was sale. I asked about different manufacturers that they carry, for maybe getting a better price on different hearing aids, and she told me they were all the same. B. S. I can get the same hearing aids, same manufacturer elsewhere for more then half the price. Will not be going back to hearing health center.”

“Very professional and courteous staff. ”

“Everyone on staff always provides excellent care in addressing all my concerns. Professional and friendly service, always.”

“Great staff. Excellent audiologist addressed my concerns. Still in process of getting my hearing aid. But so far so good. ”

“Friendly staff. Nice product selections. Willing to accommodate various schedules. I'm on the subscription Phonak Lyric 4 hearing aids to assist with my sudden sensorial hearing loss that occurred being exposed to 150+ decibel basement music. The Lyrics are invisible, worn 24/7, and are replaced every 2 to 3 months at the office. There is a trial for these to make sure they are right for you, give them a chance.”

“I have been suffering from tinnitus for over five years and visited an audiologist before being recommended by a friend (a patient at Hearing Health Center of Oak Brook), encouraging me to get a second evaluation last year at OB Hearing Health Center. From the start, I received compassion and understanding, as I had unsuccessfully tried acupuncture, natural supplements, while an evaluation and hearing test was conducted by Dr. Risley, and options to consider my hearing issue. Working with the friendly, wonderful clinic-office staff and excellent audiologist and assistant, my tinnitus was addressed with some education to consider hearing aid options available that can increase the higher frequencies (which I am loosing) and attenuate (reduce) the tinnitus intensity. With the Office Manager's professional and keen experience, she worked patiently with my insurance company to approve the cost of hearing aids, and I am SO HAPPY with these Starkey hearing aids, FINALLY achieving more clarity with higher frequencies, hearing better and some relief from the screeching tinnitus in my head! It takes some time to get used to wearing hearing aids but they are a life-saver. Without hesitation, I highly recommend the benefits of seeking professional hearing help at Hearing Health Center and hearing aids that will improve the quality and attitude of anyone's life. Hearing Health Center is the best! I am very grateful, thank you everyone at HHC! ”

“Dr. Risley and staff are wonderful and professional. Always on time”

“My last appointment with Michelle was great, for the very first time I actually had the hearing aids properly in my ears. I have been going to Hearing Health for a year and Michelle was the only person that noticed that they weren’t in all the way. Even though I had been telling them that they popped out all the time and didn’t improve my hearing in any way. Thank you Michelle for being so helpful and maybe I finally feel the hearing aids weren’t a waste of money.”

“Comforting. The best hearing experience I have received. I felt the anxiety lifted after a short while into my appointment. I am hoping that my trial with lyrics is a success. Thank You!”

“This is the most professional office in the hearing world. Paige and Michelle are not only extremely knowledgeable but caring and helpful in every way.

I like the idea of the audiologist checking the hearing aids every six months to make sure there doing there job.”

“As a wearer of hearing aids for many years, I was at a point to get a new pair. One of my shopping stops was Hearing Health Center in Oak Brook. The receptionist, Paige, was extremely patient during my multiple reschedules. Once I met Dr. Risley, he was able to assess where I was at currently, explain all of my options and help me identify my optimal solution. I am looking forward to many years of being a patient at Hearing Health Center.”

“I have been a patient at HHC/Oakbrook for a long time! I love the fact that this office makes you feel like family. The evaluation appt. was thorough and Michelle even was able to clean out my wax-impacted left ear. She talked me through every step of the eval. She then talked me through the results and compared them with my last eval. Wow! I learned a lot. She gave me solid advice. I love my Phonak hearing aids! They have made a world of difference for my daily life. Improving my speech reception gives me confidence to enjoy social interactions instead of shying away from them. Thanks, HHC! Update November 2022: My appointment started right on time. No trouble during testing. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. They always let me know what my bill will be before the appointment, and the details, right up front, nothing hidden. I like that. I walk out with a current audiogram and cleaned hearing aids. Thank you HHC”

“My new hearing aids have not only changed my life but the lives of my entire family. I never realized how my poor hearing impacted my family.

She was friendly and professional and represents the service well. Dr. Robert Risley is extremely knowledgeable, patient and focused on finding the right solution for the client. I consider them the "Dynamic Duo." Both represent the company well.”

“Dee at the front desk is always helpful and friendly. I made my appointment to see Dr Risley. Upon arrival I was told by Dee that I would not be seeing Dr. Risley, but an assistant, Ashley. Ashley did fine with the cleaning and reprogramming. However, I was disappointed that Risley did not perform the services. My appointment was with him, he was sitting in his office and did not even acknowledge my presence to further indicate that interim cleanings and programming would be performed by a tech. When I paid $6,000+ for the aids I was led to believe that I would be seeing a doctor at least twice a year. Somewhat disappointing.”

“Dr Risley, or Dr Robert as I call him is remarkable...always professional, knowledgeable and caring...he listens!!! Love this doctor...BUT, also must say that Dee is the face of Hearing Health...She is a Godsend....welcoming, professional, always goes the extra mile....I’ve seen her leave to walk a feeble patient all the way to their car...she is just a lovely lady...I am very happy to have found Hearing Health!”
