Hearing Improvement Center - West Hartford

“I am very happy with the service. Caren offers an excellent service. I am glad I found this location to be one of the best in hearing services. ”

“Caren is the absolute best! She practices the upmost highest level of care and customer service! I’ve been seeing her for the past 7 years. I feel extremely comfortable and at ease that she has my best interest at heart! She never refuses to see me when I’ve reported issues with my hearing aids. She takes the time to listen to my concerns and issues and is very proactive in making sure that I’m paired with the best hearing aids and tools that my insurance offers. When ins. does not cover the cost she goes out of her way to find the most affordable option available.. She is the best hearing specialist I’ve ever had. I’ve been wearing hearing aids for the past 17 years. I started and needed them since I was 30. I wouldn’t trade her for anyone else and I would be extremely disappointed if I couldn’t see her anymore! I refer her to all of my friend and family cause I know that she will take good care of them!”

“Service was outstanding but the only only thing I have to say is that the batteries in the filters and the dorms should be covered under insurance if it’s part of the Henry needs as well so if you guys could look into having the domes in the filters and everything that goes along with the hearing aids are covered under Medicare Medicaid that would greatly be appreciated but overall the Hearing Improvement Center L.L.C West Hartford and I have recommended it to numerous of people who have a needed hearing it thank you and have a good new year”

“Caren is very helpful in determining your extent of hearing loss and identifying the options to maximize your hearing. My husband and I feel very comfortable in calling her if we have any questions or issues regarding our hearing aids or changes to our hearing.

“Karen Barone at HIS is efficient, timely & professional - no waiting. She seems to have a high level of expertise, which inspires confidence. If I were to quibble, I would suggest she make it a point to be generous w/ batteries (e.g. put in a new one of her own)”

“How do you thank someone for treating you like a family member when you are with them? I have been coming to hearing improvement center for almost twenty years and always feel very comfortable. I know they want me to have a good quality of life and being able to hear is very important. I recently went to HIC because I thought my hearing was getting worse. Caren did a thorough exam and hearing test and explained my options for a new hearing aid. She answered all my questions and I never felt rushed or pushed into buying anything. However, my husband and I decided to upgrade one of my hearing aids so that it could "work" with my other aid and we are both pleased we did. Caren made sure I understood how to work with the aids, how to adjust the programs and how to set it up to work with my telephone. It has changed my life.”

“Good place to go! I had an excellent experience at the Hearing Improvement Center. The audiologist is knowledgeable, helpful, understanding, knows the product and wants the patient to be happy with the product. She goes above & beyond!”

“What I like best is that my doctor gave me Oticon for my hearing. It made a huge change in my life. I can hear my friends, my fiance & my parents along with a huge family. I enjoy what people have to say and I'm happy to hear it better! I can also hear my bosses at work better!”

“I like the friendly, professional service of all the staff!!”
