This review is about Kaiser Redwood City hearing center. No…read moreone picks up the phone the last few weeks. I called and called. no one answers or call back. I finally left a message that I need to go to Costco for a hearing test, since I couldn't get hold of anyone by phone. someone finally called me back. I would leave no star if I could. The hearing center in Homestead Kaiser is nice. I called and got an appointment right away because I lost my hearing aid. I have to drive all the way to Santa Clara Kaiser to get a hearing test since the hearing center in Kaiser Redwood City no one answers phone at all.

I got my first pair of Phonak hearing aids in both ears and it was life changing... for 2 days until one spontaneously shut off. I got the hearing aids in April 2023 and had to visit this Kaiser about 8 times to fix the hearing aids. Good thing is that doctor extended my warranty. Bad thing is that I had a few beautiful days a where my hearing aids worked and I could hear and then one or the other would malfunction for months. So frustrating. It was sent back to manufacturer twice. When I got them back, I didn't have tuning appts - I just picked them up and had to come back to adjust the volume. Anyways, it's been a 5 month journey and I'm anxious to see what today brings.

Hats off to Anga and Hannah. I was happy with my widex hearing aids after five years - and they…read morereplaced one that was lost under warranty. My hearing decreased a bit so i looked a buying a new set to take advantage of changes in technology. They suggested the phonak ultrasphere. These have much better controls and integration with the iphone but to get better results you really have to know how to use the app. They got on support with Phonak and walked through my use case and we tailored the app (from the phonak app and apple dash board) so that i could adjust for different use cases : TV, playing live music, restaurant, etc. The Phonak can reprogram some settings with a remote session. So in my house we logged into a support call and they adjusted some of the settings. They also phoned me a few times so that i could learn about some of the nuances - such as adjusting sound levels of background noises. The Phonak allows adjusting speaker and mic levels as well as mike source. It's no fun losing your hearing as you get older but really great having the support of professionals who know their way around new technology!

Updated review: I…read morewas forced to use a different audiologist due to my employer's insurance coverage. After I got my aids, I needed assistance but they never returned my phone calls, emails, or a request for help through the manufacturer's iPhone app. It was worth it to me to pay a "transfer of coverage" fee to Dr. Lao to have her take over maintenance of them. To make a long story very short, the original dispenser put the wrong length wires on my aids so that the front-facing microphones were buried behind my ears making them useless. Certainly explains a lot, eh? Dr. Lao replaced the wires for me and now the hearing aids are in the right place - peeking over the tops of my ears and letting the microphones do what they were designed to do -- pointing towards people I am talking to so that I can hear them.

The audiologist adjusted my hearing aids to better clarity after one year usage. Being new to…read morehearing aids, I thought my hearing aids were defective but my hearing is gradually decreasing. He informed me that adjustments need to be made at least yearly and that applies to all wearers of hearing aids. I informed him that the cheaper Apple AirPod pro now can be used a hearing aid. It was superior to my more expensive Resound hearing aids before the recent tuning. The Apple could be used as a standard due to its online testing of one's hearing profile.

I have been seeing the same audiologist - who also is an audiology professor - for over a decade, but she was out of network for my employer's insurance plan. Better Hearing Center was the only place within 40 miles that had the Widex brand I wanted, so I made an appointment. Dr. Mark recommended the Resound brand over the Widex I originally wanted and he was absolutely correct due to the advances that Resound had over the older Widex models that I knew about. I would put Better Hearing Center into the "hearing aid mill" class of providers. Dr. Mark is personable and took the time to answer all of my questions during my initial testing and delivery appointments. However, I felt that my hearing test and hearing aid configuration were perfunctory. And when I called, emailed, and asked for assistance through the app to tune my programming several times around 14 months after I got them, I never got a response except from the office manager who told me she would pass my message along. I paid my long-term audiologist to take over management of my hearing aids so that she can tune them for me going forward. She made some small EQ tweaks and one VERY MAJOR change. She showed me that I had the wrong wires (#4), which were so long that the hearing air hung down behind my ear so that the front-facing microphone was hidden behind it and not picking up sounds from in front of me. That may explain why I couldn't hear in restaurants using the advanced beam-forming technology that was the main reason for choosing this brand. I remember asking Dr. Mark why he didn't use the wire-length template and he told me that he had enough experience to not need it. Guess that wasn't true. To sum up, Better Hearing Center may be your only in-network choice, and going with them is not a bad decision. Just be aware that you may not get the right configuration or follow up care that you need until your insurance pays for your next set of hearing aids. I am 9 months away from that and may need visit Dr. Mark again for an upgrade.

Pacific Hearing Connection has been wonderful for my family member who has profound hearing loss…read more It's a bit of a drive for us, but the care and support we receive make it worth it. I'm always able to call and come in the same day for things like a tube replacement, which has been incredibly helpful. The staff is very knowledgeable, caring, and you can truly tell they are passionate about what they do. Appointments with the doctor can sometimes be difficult to schedule, but the team's dedication and expertise make a big difference. They have provided my family member with the best hearing aid options available and continue to offer great support. We truly appreciate the care they provide.

I've had the pleasure of working with Kassie, Danyel and Jana. I have never been to a friendlier office that is more dedicated to serving its patients. 4 Rachel is thorough and takes whatever time is necessary to conduct hearing tests and to fit hearing aids as perfectly as possible. This may take 25-50% longer than other audiologists who think 80-20 is good enough. And she does it at no additional charge. 5 Rachel is deeply knowledgeable. She stays current with new technology and the characteristics of hearing aids from different manufacturers so she can make a recommendation that will suit your unique needs. 6 Rachel makes it fun to come to her office. 7 Rachel will answer all of your questions, whether obvious or esoteric, fully and with respect. 8 If you have a question between visits, the staff will provide the answer immediately by phone, and if necessary, will send additional materials electronically. 9 I also consulted with Dr Brook Raguskus in the Pacific Hearing office who is a specialist in tinnitus. She too is deeply knowledgeable, respectful, and makes the visit fun. Rachel and her entire team are exceptional. They have earned my wholehearted recommendation.
