Hearing Health Center - Chicago

“This is somewhat a tale of the pandemic. My mother has been a client here for awhile, as was my father. We’d been enjoying not having to show up every month for her Lyric replacements, & we let the fine-tuning slide with her new brand, as it only required a battery change at home. Then Covid hit. After several months of lockdown, her 1st outing was to Hearing Health. When you only have the phone for contact & your hearing aids aren’t working, it’s bad. Unfortunately the test in the soundproof booth was a bust, & we were told that unfortunately there was nothing to be done but turn up the volume. I had just read an article about the critical effect hearing loss has on cognition, so I called back. At that point we were introduced to Dr. Emily Trittschuh. Dr. Emily, it turns out, had trained at a pediatric hospital, & she brought all of her specialized experience to bear on my mother’s hearing test. The standard system hadn’t worked, so the doctor invented methods which worked for my mother. On the spot. And remember, we all had on masks, so the visual part was gone— no lip reading, facial cues, etc. She was creative, innovative, resourceful, patient, precise; her professional experience & personal sensitivity enabled her to improvise new methods of communication and, lo & behold, she succeeded in extracting ALL the information she needed to reset every single value in those hearing aids which could help my mother hear. Not just the volume. As I watched this maestro work her magic, I burst into tears. You don’t realize the terrible stress of what is, in effect, the loss of a relationship because of technical difficulties! Until you realize that you’re going to get it back. Over the years we have had one audiologist pay a house call to my dad in the hospital, one do a curbside removal of my mom’s Lyrics prior to an MRI, & Dr. Emily is now working with the manufacturer to optimize settings for the technology of my mother’s landline. Even Jennifer & the receptionists are lovely~ pre-Covid, they baked you cookies in the waiting room! I can’t recommend Hearing Health Center, and especially Dr Emily Trittschuh, enough. ”

“Beginning in 2018, in the course of four (4) visits, or so, I've been satisfied with services from Hearing Health, downtown, Chicago. However, my recent visit, August 24, 2020, was exceptionally notable. Audiologist, Elizabeth Matthews' friendly and welcoming disposition in conjunction w/her knowledge and professionalism made for an exceptionally pleasant experience.”

“Dr McFadden is Amazing! She is most knowledgeable. She has a wonderful manner & a delightful personality. She explained all the necessary details & answered all my questions. How refreshing to have a doctor who is not only knowledgeable, but who is also very personable. Excellent! ”

“Excellent service and advice. I am very happy with the quality of my hearing aids and with the expertise of Dr. McFadden. ”

“Elizabeth Mathews is an excellent audiology assistant! I recommend her services to anyone who may need them!”

“I would like to say that Cheri, was awesome she helped my mom until she resolved the problem with her whistling hearing aid. She is great.”

“I was given adequate explanation and understanding, along with a comfortable experience in my testing and attention given to my aids themselves.”

“Dr. Emily Trittschuh communicates in a very pleasant, easy to understand, concise, and complete fashion her expert knowledge of audiology in general and hearing aids specifically. I accompanied my wife to the latter's hearing aid appointment. Now, Dr. T is my hearing doc. I am a retired doc and recognized a great bedside manner and recognize an exceptional fund of medical knowledge when I come in contact with Dr. T.”

“Amanda McFadden, Au.D is one of the best Doctor of Audiology we have been to in years! She is a very caring and patient person, and her attention to detail is refreshing. She has a wonderful bubbly personality that make you feel at ease the second you meet her. And her follow up for any issues brought to her attention is impeccable. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a Doctor of Audiology, you will not be disappointed!”

“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. ”

“The audiologist was very knowledgeable.”
