In Dr. McFadden’s words: “I believe that many patients do not realize all they are missing when hearing loss goes untreated. As an audiologist, I feel fortunate to improve the quality of life for my patients. It is truly rewarding when my patients share their success stories about what they can hear now, and how their friends and family have positively reacted!”

“What I like about hearing health center is that they are always first with the newest technology. They also really seem to care about their patients and after the last two years l feel that we have developed a real friendship. ”
“Now in my mid-80s, I have acquired over half a dozen health care providers I see on a regular or semi-regular basis and the only one I look forward to visiting is Hearing Healthcare Center. This is partially because they really know what they’re doing and the results have been excellent, but also because they are the nicest, most genuinely concerned group of people. I had been told that they treat their patients like family and I was skeptical. But I have to say that maybe they treat me even better. I usually go to their office downtown, not far from my apartment. But sometimes I am close to one of their suburban offices and in need of an adjustment or batteries. Although I have not been there in six months or longer, when I go into one of those offices everyone seems to know me, greets me by name and is fully aware of my needs. This is totally unlike any of my other doctor’s offices. Most of my friends have hearing aids or need them and I unhesitatingly recommend Hearing Health Center. Nobody has complained. ”
“Hearing aid test and Dr great. Billing not so. Be sure you are aware of the reimbursement and contract for your insurance BEFORE going. I was charged 5x what my insurance contracted for, and not helpful in getting $ returned. ”
Received 03/18/2019Official Response from Hearing Health Center - Chicago:“You have been a patient for ten years and purchased three sets of hearing aids. Our billing protocol, on each occasion, was the same. We billed your insurance the MSRP (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price) nearly the same amount for each set of hearing aids. The MSRP is approximately twice the usual and customary charge, not “5X,” as stated in your review. Every patient is billed the MSRP. Patients who pay at the time of service receive a “prompt pay” discount. This prompt pay discount is not reflected when filing to insurance. For patients with a defined benefit (a stated amount), the reimbursement from insurance is the same, regardless of the amount billed. There is no advantage to Hearing Health Center in billing the MSRP. For many of our patients however, it can be significantly advantageous. Oftentimes, hearing benefits are unknown and unclear. Reimbursement might be a percentage of the amount billed and deductible requirements vary widely. Our patients are extremely grateful when their out of pocket costs are reduced. After ten years, and three sets of hearing aids, I am unclear as to why you are suddenly surprised, upset, complaining and writing bad reviews. ”
“The audiologist was very knowledgeable.”
