I cannot believe I'm raving about my hearing aids but, after answering a survey from Consumer…read moreReports, I realize how lucky I am. I had an unusual hearing loss situation whereby I departed an airplane and my right ear popped and my left ear did not. After a few hours my left ear popped and I immediately heard a "roaring" in my left ear which has not departed in over 15 years (a 24/7 delight). The sound changes frequencies as well as loudness which is unusual. I've seen many different specialists and researchers (I'm in Los Angeles) and I've had MRIs with contrast and every possible test. After 3 or 4 different purchases of hearing aids (which were not acceptable for various reasons) by which time I said, "Forget it" and gave up on accessing better hearing. My ENT hired a wonderful AU.D (Dr. Rachel Abucasis) who convinced me to "try again" and she spent a LOT of time and energy helping me find and fit the latest hearing aids. I now love being able to hear music via my iPhone, and being able to have complete conversations on the phone (without having to ask, "Excuse me? I didn't get that.", and, with the little box that I can put on any dining or conference table, I can hear all of the conversation from each person. As for the hearing aids being visible, with so many options I can even wear my hair in a ponytail and no one realizes I am wearing hearing aids. And I should add that these are so comfortable that I often forget I'm wearing them. I wish I could tell everyone suffering with hearing loss to not give up.

He's angry that we spent the bare bones we, or rather what he, thought we could afford on devices that failed to fit his uniquely narrow ear canals. I'm angry that he failed to wear the devices (replaced with different ones, three times to no improvement, so he says) sufficiently to make the necessary brain/auditory connection. "I don't want to lose them on the street and I only want to hear you at home." (Too bad I'm not closed captioning speech friendly.) You sure you want to hear me cuz you ain't gonna like what I have to say! Neighborhood fitness walk and he didn't hear a non-EV vehicle exiting from a garage. If I hadn't been with him... Not ready to be a widow. Dr. Rachel has been, as the people on my Mother's side say, a real "mensch," negotiating with device providers, implementing her expertise, to make these budget devices work. I'm hoping for a satisfactory low end device adjustment but I'm willing to tap into my savings for an appropriate upgrade because I'm beginning to be deafened by TV news at volume 54 and blank looks when I speak directly in his face. Stay tuned, cuz there's more a coming...

I have likely lost my hearing permanently due to the incompetent and delayed care I received here…read more I was given an "urgent" referral from my PCP following sudden hearing loss and was given an appointment several weeks out (already suboptimal but maybe unavoidable). When they brought me in, the doctor couldn't figure out what was wrong and told me I needed to see an "ear specialist." Why on earth they would have assigned me to someone who was NOT an ear specialist when I was coming in for hearing loss is beyond me. I waited to see that person and then was told she wanted me to go do a repeat of the audiology testing because she didn't trust the first testing even though it was done within their own office!! At that point, I decided to seek care through the House clinic downtown, where I was accommodated immediately due to the time sensitive nature of this concern and was met by very kind and competent doctors. Unfortunately, at this point, I am well beyond the window where it's likely that steroids could save my hearing. Do yourself a favor and start with the House clinic if you have any serious hearing concerns as this office does not appear to be able to manage them competently.

Dr. Griffiths not only restored the appearance of my nose beautifully, but he also corrected the functional issues that were affecting my breathing. The result is natural, balanced, and far better than I expected -- he genuinely fixed what had been done wrong. From the first consultation, I felt that he understood both the aesthetic and medical aspects of my case, which gave me confidence right away. His attention to detail, expertise, and ability to correct a complicated revision case are truly exceptional. I can finally breathe properly again and feel comfortable with how I look. I'm incredibly grateful and would highly recommend him to anyone, especially for revision rhinoplasty.

I saw so many ENT doctors over the years and all they ever offered were antibiotics. When I met Dr Griffiths he sat with me and truly listened. He let me explain my full history, he was attentive, and he took my concerns seriously. He ordered specialized blood work and a head scan. In two visit's Dr Griffiths was able to identify the issue that went undiagnosed for more than thirty years. My case was not dramatic or exciting but he still treated it with care and respect. Because of Dr Griffiths, I no longer get sick all the time. I can live my life like a normal person. It has been three years since my visit and I feel better than ever. I am truly grateful for him and I recommend him to anyone who needs a doctor who listens, investigates, and genuinely wants to help.

There, they loaned me a pair of hearing aids (ReSound ENZO Q 98) and quoted me at $7800/each ($15,600/pair). There isn't much clarity on hearing aid pricing online, so I genuinely didn't know that quote was overpriced. After a month, my insurance company eventually caught up and referred me to Arcade instead, so I made my appointment mid-March. They managed to get me in pretty quickly (in 2 weeks). At the appointment I explained to Matt that I'd been demo-ing a pair of hearing aids for a month and that I'd like to see about getting the same kind. Imagine my surprise when Matt let me know they'd be $3100/each ($6200/pair) and then my insurance covered $2000. I was pretty shocked (and obviously relieved) and asked to go ahead with placing the order. I asked for white and I love them. I've worn hearing aids since I was 2 so I've never been shy about getting something colorful. My hearing aids arrived really quickly (about a week or so), but I was out of town so I delayed picking them up until today. Matt also asked if I'd like to get new molds ($85), but I'd already had mold impressions taken at Pacific, so I figured I'd wait until those came in (they wound up being $200 at Pacific, yikes). I'll definitely be sticking with Arcade going forward. Everyone was incredibly helpful throughout the process and I'm so grateful I got the referral to Arcade. Can't recommend them enough.

Jamie, the audiologist, did some testing and adjusting after asking when my hearing was most problematic. I've had this pair of hearing aides for 5 years. They've been great and dramatically changed my ability to hear, so anytime I read or hear about advances I pay attention. A new technology using AI was available to beta test for free at CHC so I filled out a questionnaire and got fitted with a pair to try. I have both pairs now and use both situationally. "Leasing" the AI ones for a set time so it feels more affordable. I appreciate that this business apparently stays cutting edge and on top of changes in both technology and how I pay for it. Thanks again CHC for great competent and friendly service.

He said my hearing had deteriorated a bit, but there was no need to go at this time to anything higher than my previous hearing aids. He worked within my Aetna budget, and explained that when I come back to be fitted he would set up a 6 month program that would "virtually" ease me into the new hearing environment. I especially wanted to blue tooth audio books and Jaime agreed to focus on that request. As I was leaving I met the owner and got a really good feeling about the customer service at this place. I previously had gone to a different hearing doctor and I was rushed through and given a hard sell on a more expensive product, outside of my Aetna budget. That didn't happen here.
