“Northeast Hearing Center's focus on patient care here is wonderful!! I have been a patient here for over 10 years and the continuity and level of care is unmatched!!! I just picked new Oticon Opn MiniRite hearing aids. This is my third pair of hearing aids, over the years, and they are absolutely amazing. The sound quality and reproduction is excellent - Oticon's technology just keeps getting better and better. My wife's has difficulty speaking, due to age and disease. Dr LaForge recommended this latest Oticon model to help with this problem. Now when I pair my aids with my phone, my wife can use it a a microphone to talk to me even when I am in the next room. Thank you Northeast Hearing Center for your commitment to the high quality of our care.”
