I have known for several years that I had significant hearing but I was in denial about needing a…read morehearing aid. Dr. Michael Malotte had conducted hearing tests which showed a 45% loss of hearing in my left ear. In October, 2019 Dr Zachary Vandergriend donated hearing aid to The Branch Elementary School auction. Apparently I was the only person in attendance who needed a hearing aid. I won the auction. I was then contacted by Dr Jennifer Perry about the hearing aid that I had won. At the appointment she explained about the options that I had . An order was placed.At my next appointment I received my hearing aids. Dr. Perry patiently explained and calibrated the hearings for me to get comfortable with change that I would notice while using the hearings aids. It is AMAZING. I so regret not having been fitted for a hearing years earlier. I have had 2 follow up appointments where Dr Perry has adjusted the sensitivity of the devices. Is my hearing perfect? No, but the improvement is substantial. The hearing aids are comfortable.I barely notice their presence while I am wearing them. Several times I have tried to get in bed or showered when I realized I was wearing them. I am so pleased with my hearing aids. If your spouse, partner or friends tell you that yo u might have a hearing loss, go get tested. The test is painless, and informative. I have been tested twice without hearing aids and actually enjoyed the testing process. I understand now that hearing loss can effect your mental health. I am 75 years of age and could not carry on a conversation in a crowded restaurant. Now I can participate in the conversations. I am so happy and thankful for my hearing aids, Thank you Drs. Malotte, Vandergriend and Perry

Hi Yelpers. I had…read moremy wax removed finally after seeing my second MD ( this one an ENT, Dr Molin) and thought I would try again at Hurdle, 4 years later) but they turned me away even tho I apologized, its ok, not a forgiving practice , very rigid, lacks humanity, loves $$$ over people? Oh well, sharing here so you can decide. Btw, I was allergic to the over the counter Debrox drops ( i think its the horrible preservative) so finally used coconut oil by itself for 2 weeks and that worked. It left a tiny bit so probably needed one more week ( senior ears :)). But ENT removed what was left. Ouchy! Off to find an audiologist to do one final test , a Tympanogram , before the final hearing aid decision process. ###Be sure to see an audiologist to start with to avoid my labor intensive process. Free hearing tests do not offer a Tympanogram, it turns out, which is the final ear assessment that is needed for accurate evaluation of our Ear canal and hearing Aid challenges. ### only audiologists offer that. Btw, AirPods Pro 2 and 3 have imbedded support for light hearing loss.

Cons: Not a ton of extra time during the appointment Ratings: - Overall: 5 - Knowledge: 5 - Bedside Manner: 5 - Pace of Appointment: 4 - Push To Sell Hearing Aids: 5 - Office Staff: 5 - Scheduling: 5 - Waiting Area: 4 - Location: 5 - Parking: 5 The hearing in both ears took a sudden turn for the worse in December 2022. My primary care doctor checked what she could and found no apparent problems. My ear, nose and throat specialist - someone to see once a year for a checkup - also said things looked okay. Both suggested a visit to an audiologist so I made an appointment with Chris Hurdle. - Location: Excellent. About 4 blocks east of Highway 101 in a medical building along Oak Park Blvd. Easily accessible from our town, Nipomo, to the south and not far from San Luis Obispo to the north. - Front Office: Busy but friendly. It's a small operation with Dr. Hurdle and one person in the front handling patients and all administrative duties. She seemed to juggle her work very well. - Scheduling: Not a problem. Primary care doctors and specialists are in short supply so I wasn't surprised - almost relieved - I only had to wait 6 weeks. I received a phone reminder 3 days in advance. - Waiting Area: Small, but clean and uncluttered. - Chris Hurdle: Friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. The appointment was booked for 30 minutes, but mine took 35-40 which was fine. Dr. Hurdle spent 10 minutes asking some questions then seated me in a sound proof booth where I was given different pieces of equipment to test my hearing during the next 20-25 minutes. Finally, he reviewed a printout of the results and suggested I get back in touch with my ENT (who he knows very well). The process moved along briskly, but I didn't feel rushed and got some good information about my situation. - Hard Sell of Hearing Aids - Not at this visit. Dr.Hurdle mentioned it would be reasonable to consider one for my right ear, but noted it would be best to first review his findings with my ENT. It's clear he's a source for equipment if I wish to go that route. - Billing: Too early to tell. I've got Medicare and Medicare supplemental insurance so we'll see if there's anything left for me to cover. - Parking: Plenty. There's good parking in the lots behind and on the west side of the building. I'd certainly recommend Chris Hurdle for your audiology needs.
