Amanda provided the most thorough hearing exam I've ever had, including that from my regular audiologist. Her knowledge of the equipment they sell and how to best help personal needs could not have been better. My initial contact with Avada was set up through TrueHearing.com, as recommended by my health insurance company, and they offered a substantial savings over the cost of the same equipment sold by my audiologist. One thing to be aware of: Your payment at the time of order will be posted immediately, and if you return the hearing aids during the 45-day trial, the payment will not be refunded until 30 days after the order was made, and there can be a $125 "restocking fee". In spite of the small print, I would still highly recommend the Stark Street office of Avada.

I bought hearing aids from Lorraine at this location some years ago. They work great. Very few…read moreissues and Lorraine was fantastic. I've been called fairly regularly about getting in for an appointment to check up on my hearing aids. It's been a couple years so I set an appointment. Before I get into details I want to make it clear that the staff at this location were very nice, gracious and were welcoming. I will likely purchase hearing aids again from this location again. However, I also felt like I was at a used car dealer. They wiped my hearing aides clean, plugged them in and put new mesh covers in. I can't help but feel like all they really wanted was to sell me hearing aides. Strange feeling. Whoever you are in management, stop pressuring these people to sell hearing aids. Customer service always comes first.

The person who examined me determined that I would benefit from hearing aids, so I got a pair. After some weeks and several adjustments and tweaks, I concluded that I wasn't really being helped. I went back, and this time, the person told me I needed a different style, and added "I never would have put you into these." Made me wonder who was right - the first provider, or the second? So, I got the new style, and following several weeks of use and several tweaks, I concluded (again) that I wasn't getting anything out of them. Fortunately, I was still in the return window, so I wasn't out anything. They were very gracious about the return, and didn't give me a hard time about it. I've always had a sneaking suspicion that if someone's income depends on them finding that you've got a problem, they'll find that you've got a problem. HearingLife didn't dispel that suspicion. However, as long as you've got insurance that will cover the costs, you have nothing to lose by trying this place out.

Todd alleges that he has sent my records to 'the state' 3 times 'free of charge' even though 'he could have charged me'. That's bullshit. I'm deaf. I know full well you can get your records sent to your door BY MAIL for free. It doesnt matter that your receptionist has to do her job and that it costs you $25 to do it. I can sign for it when it comes to my door. That's how this works. I know my rights. For you to try to come to me in private and chastise me about my tone and how it's costing poor you money to send someone records, that I doubt you sent anyone because ZERO people from ANYWHERE have reached out to tell me they have my records, to ask me to remove my review, tells me you're trying to play cover up.

My husband needed to find a new hearing aid provider here in Portland since the last hearing aid he…read morebought was nearly 18 years ago in California. He called his original audiologist who referred him to Pacific Audiology Clinic and Dr. Allison Bradley. Before he went there, though, he thought he'd try to save some money by exploring Costco's offerings. That didn't go so well. Because he only wears a hearing aid in one ear, Costco couldn't provide a hearing aid that processed the sound quickly enough to match how quickly he heard sound through his unaided ear. This surprised him considering that his 18-year-old hearing aid had no such problem, but Costco didn't carry his old brand. He also felt that considering how quickly they gave up trying to help him and offered to refund his money, they didn't really want to take the time to provide hearing aids for people with more difficult situations like his. So he saw Dr. Bradley here and immediately felt confident that they'd take care of him. Little did he realize what an effort that would be on their part. Apparently today's hearing aids are far more powerful than his old one, which was good because he wanted more amplification. However, it meant that getting a perfect fit was necessary or else he would hear annoying feedback between the hearing aid's microphone and speaker. While wearing a hearing aid that sits outside the ear could've more easily solved this problem, he didn't want to give up the hidden "completely in the canal" style of aid that he's always had. Nor was he willing to sacrifice good quality sound that seemed as natural to him as what his unaided ear hears. Never did Dr. Bradley pressure him to make these compromises. He can't remember how long it took from the first time he saw Dr. Bradley until he finally had the hearing aid he wanted, but he thinks it was close to a year. That wasn't any fault of hers. The difference between a tight yet comfortable fit likely came down to fractions of millimeters. Any movement in his jaw could also cause the ear canal to move ever so slightly and produce annoying feedback while eating or talking, etc., so it just became a matter of trying countless aids in various situations until one finally worked. The extreme level of patience and graciousness along with the clear expertise and knowledge of all of the manufacturers and their pros/cons made working with Dr. Bradley simply a delight for my husband. He said her staff is equally terrific. Few hearing aid candidates will have as difficult of a time as he did. But his experience demonstrates that you get what you pay for, and while Pacific Audiology Clinic certainly didn't make a profit on him considering all the effort they had to put into getting him a new hearing aid, he's convinced there's no better audiologist or more pleasant one in the greater Portland area.

Sadly it looks like it being run by a 3 year old. First of all the appointment I had was a year in the making. The referral took way longer than is actually acceptable by regulation. On top of this when I check in for my appointment guess what. No profile was created for me. No chart was started. No appointment was scheduled. For the procedure it is risky to go so long without eating and since it was scheduled very early. Now since they scheduled other people at the same time. I was placed on standby for whenever they had the time to see me. They blamed it on a change of softwear that didn't transfer all the patients correctly. Advice to management and scheduling if your going to be doing a system transfer. Make a list of scheduled patients and transfer manually those that didn't successfully transfer. I performed a change like that at my clinic with thousands of patients and none of this happened at all since we manually added those who didn't get transferred. This is also going to be reported since there are minimum medical standards that should be followed and where not. If your reading this please never come here.
