We are very grateful to Anna Mamiya and the team at PAC for helping our daughter! Her condition made everyday life for her very stressful and painful. It impacted pretty much every aspect of her life and determined what we could do as a family. We are now able to eat dinner as a family again and go out in public to loud spaces - like the mall, Costco, etc. School has become much easier. The treatment does not cure misophonia, but it does teach her brain that the trigger sounds are not something that it needs to react strongly to and get away from. Yes, chewing sounds will always be annoying, but there is no strong emotional response anymore. I highly recommend anyone dealing with misophonia or hyperacusis to have a consultation with Anna Mamiya. She explains the science behind the treatment and what can be achieved. It all lined up with what I had already learned about the conditions so it made sense to have my daughter get the treatment. I am so glad we did! Life is so much easier now for her and us!

She was incredibly thorough and took time to explain to me what she was doing and what my results meant. I didn't feel rushed and felt like my options were clearly explained. The craziest thing is that when I went to pick up my new hearing aids, she forgot to give me the cable for the charger. I didn't realize this until she showed up at my house that evening to drop it off. That's someone who takes their responsibilities seriously and cares about their patients. Follow ups have been super helpful in adjusting the aids to my needs. Highly recommended.

Not only are they easy to reach, but they schedule phone calls to patients so that you get in when you need to.

As a reward for living a long time, my hearing has diminished. Based on a hearing test, hearing…read moreaids were becoming a necessity. I went to AudioNova on the advice of my primary care doctor. I'm glad I did. The care I received in this office was outstanding. Friendly office staff and an excellent technician, who really knows her stuff, led me to choose the Phonak Infiniti model. The technician spent a lot of time reviewing options before we chose this model. She told me about the previous model and the improvements they made with this release. Even though I could have gotten the previous model for no out of pocket, I chose the current model, with a new chip, for a reasonable out of pocket price. The result has been great. The hearing aids are virtually invisible, Bluetooth enabled, charge on my nightstand (no batteries!) and have really helped my hearing. TV volume is down, my reliance on subtitles is greatly diminished, my hearing in crowded places is enhanced and, on my daily walks, I've noticed I pick up what passers by are actually saying, not a garbled mess. AudioNova seems to take after the sale service seriously. I had a follow up to fine-tune sound amplification, I'm tasked with bringing them in every four months for cleaning and the office has a daily drop-in hour for questions, adjustments and the like. I can heartily recommend AudioNova if you, like me, want to enhance your audio acuity.

The short version: Do NOT get hearing aids via Optum/Polyclinic. Go to Costco's hearing services!…read more Here are the gruesome details: I had hearing tests in 2019 and 2022 (at the Madison location of Polyclinic's audiology department) that showed a decrease in my hearing over that time, and I was prescribed Phonak hearing aids in 2022. I paid approximately $4000 for the recommended aids. The charger failed after a few weeks, and was replaced as still under warranty. I returned again to audiology to say that the hearing aids were providing volume, but not clarity. Dr. Livingstone made a few adjustments, and then asked whether I could hear her clearly. I could, but we were in a sound-proof room and she was standing right in front of me. I continued to have issues with clarity, and also tried to get online help from Phonak. As a first-time user of hearing aids, I did not know what I should expect from the aids or audiologist. At the recommendation of a friend, I went to Costco's hearing services. Here's the experience there, and its contrast to Polyclinic/Optum: The Costco audiologist spent an hour testing my hearing--twice as long and with more detailed tests than at Polyclinic. The audiologist also checked rhe hearing aids I'd gotten at Polyclinic: She showed me a method of cleaning the aids that I had NOT been shown at Polyclinic She found that the left aid had failed entirel. Given my hearing tests, she was surprised that I was given the Phonak aids. She thought perhaps my hearing had gotten much worse since 2022, but when we looked at my 2022 hearing test, this was not the case. She said that the Phonak speakers had two little power for my hearing loss, and she thought that the in-ear tips were not the best choice. The Costco audiologist suggested different aids (after making sure I didn't want to return to Polyclinic to try again, instead off purchasing new aids from Costco--but after 2 years of frustration, I was ready to try new aids). She recommended some aids, and had me try a demo set that she adjusted on the spot to my hearing. This included walking out of the soundproof room into the noisy environment of the Costco warehouse, and making more adjustments to be sure that these aids would work for me. Less than a week later, my new aids had arrived and I returned for a fitting. The audiologist spent more than an hour on this fitting, making more precise adjustments to the aids, as well as all the pairings and settings needed for the phone app. This was, again, more than twice as long and with much greater detail than my fitting at Polyclinic. The Costco audiologist automatically booked me for another follow-up after I will have worn the aids for about 10 days, so that I can report any issues, ask questions and get further adjustments. At Polyclinic, after the fitting, I was simply told to "make an appointment if you have any problems. THE DIFFERENCE is almost indescribable: My ability to hear and understand conversations, the TV and more is orders of magnitude better. The phone app for the new aids is very effective and user friendly (the app for the aids from Polyclinic was glitchy, often would not connect with my aids, and it was difficult to get online help). The aids from Costco were half the price of what I paid at Polyclinic. In short, I got radically better service and improved hearing via Costco--at half the price. At Polyclinic, I paid thousands for aids that never gave good hearing clarity, whose charger failed within weeks, and with one aid that failed within 2 years (after the warranty had expired). I wish I had known in 2022 that I could do much better than what I was getting.
