Last year I left a positive review on the general Costco Yelp site but wanted to my next review to…read morebe specific to the Cole Rd Costco audiologist working in their Hearing Aid Center. Once again this review is about Teresa in their hearing aid center. This time, she did a complete update to my hearing aid that involved a few very sophisticated, technical tests to fine tune my hearing aids. She spent an entire hour, educating me and running those tests that, in the end, fine-tuned my aids to a level I hadn't thought possible. My issue had to do mostly with difficulty hearing conversation, especially in a restaurant environment. One of the tests involved a computerized process that programmed my aids to better hear within the ranges of sound loss specific to me. Teresa is a knowledgeable, charming audiologist that Costco is fortunate to have on staff.

I'm going out of my way to let everyone in the Treasure Valley know about HearingLife Center on…read moreCole Rd., in Boise. Prior to this appointment, I have been dodging these types of companies but I found the GOLD STANDARD when I walked in their door! The location isn't very convenient; the office isn't snazzy; but I'm not and I wasn't looking for convenience or SNAZZ when I was talking about my hearing! I WAS looking for REESE. This man is not only a guru and gifted at what he does, but he is a servant, a nurturer, intuitive, sensitive, and caring! I've had my hearing tested 20x since I was 18 years old...but it wasn't until we met Reese that we felt like we could believe what he told us. Whether he had told us the cheapest or the most expensive...it wouldn't have mattered. I wanted to use whatever THIS audiologist recommended to me and my husband. My husband was in complete agreement! We have been telling doctors to send their unsatisfied 'deaf' or 'partially-resolved deaf' patients to Reese, not even to the franchise because, like I said, I was running away from this business name too...until I met Reese. His receptionist is as good as they come and between the two of them, THEY have a place and time for YOU!

ONLY BECAUSE ZERO STARS ISN'T AN OPTION. I took my dad here today, after waiting for two weeks to…read moreget him hearing aids. He waited so patiently, though he was very excited to hear clearly. As we arrived, he was told that they had cancelled his appointment "for some reason". No explanation, no responsibility, certainly no accountability. No offer to squeeze him in, not even an apology. The girl didn't even look up at my dad. As we were walking out (my 90 y/o dad looking sadder than he has in a long time) we got a "sorry". Horrible experience to just cancel an old man's first hearing aid purchase. We will go any place but here. I recommend you don't make an appointment and wait and then come back to find they have canceled you. This is gonna make a horrible social media post.

After the hearing test, we needed to sit and talk with the sales guy about hearing aids. He is a traveling sales person, and today, he so happened to be in Boise. After his pitch was done. My mom nicely declined and said she has other things health wise that took priority over hearing aids. He then got super serious and proceeded to tell her that her brain was shrinking because of her hearing loss. Talk about scare tactics! I stopped him in his tracks and reminded him that she had just spoken with the hearing Doc and that he doesn't need to say that to her just to get her to buy a hearing aids!!! (HE WAS NOT A DOCTOR, SO HE SOULDN'T BE TRYING TO ACT LIKE ONE JUST TO MAKE A SALE) He then immediately picked up his pen and crossed out the $7,000 price, and told us to get out. SHOCKED!! As we got up from the desk, I grabbed my mom insurance cards that were photo copied. He then yelled at me to give her info back to him or he would call the cops!! I did, but not until i ripped it up. As I was walking out, I decided to let the hearing doctor know what was going on. As I was walking towards the door, this man grabbed my arm to try and pull me in the direction of the exit. He is lucky I didn't call the cops OR press charges. He even came outside and came up to us as we were leaving. Trying to talk to my mom again and back peddling. Saying for me to get away??!! This man uses scare tactics to try and get elderly to buy his hearing aids. I have never been more disgusted in my life. This is my review!!!

Elise was assigned to my wife and she was exceptional. Very professional, caring, thorough, and empathetic. She listened to my wife's issues and needs and immediately begun some exercises to help. What we really like is that explained everything. Why was my wife feeling the way she did, and what these exercises were going to do to help. The exercises were great and helped my wife from the beginning and we only needed one more session with Elise. The following week, Elise, called my wife to check on her to see how she was doing. Elise deserves all the credit for caring helping hands.
