    I received a high gloss mailer which suggested it was from Blue Cross / Blue Shield, as it had…read moretheir logo as well as a brand called "TRUHEARING ", so you could assume it was legitimately from BC/BS. Is scheduled an appointment at 60 State St. 7th floor, financial district, and had to check in with Security , where my appointment was confirmed, and I was given an identity badge that did not have the TRUHEARING identity. Arriving at the 7th floor, neither TRUHEARING nor Preferred Hearing were not on the list of companies / businesses on that floor. After waiting 45 minutes, Nancy Sideri came to the lobby, and guided me to her office. When I asked for her business card, it shows her a President of Preferred Hearing. On the net she was identified as an audiologist, but described herself as a Hearing Instrument Specialist. After a confusing description of suitable aids for me she asked for payment up front. She wanted me to pay for the aids , asking for my credit card information before having a fitting and testing for appropriate use. I have been using hearing aids for over 50 years, and I have never been asked for payment up front, over $2 500. and before I had an opportunity to see the product, by brand and model, andbe fitted for use. I felt the way everything was set up to be unprofessional and not typical business model.

    I strongly recommend against this business for many reasons, but here are a few…read more I. I'm a Blue Cross member. BC gives discounts to certain providers through a company called TruHearing. I chose this business because the web said they offered several different kinds of aids. Not true. It turned out this provider offered only one brand of hearing aid. 2. I've worn hearing aids for years, but the solo practitioner of this business seemed to have memorized a script for first time users, and did not want to be interrupted. My husband and I were a bit frustrated by the talkativeness. 3. The practitioner seemed to have trouble programming the aids. It took quite a while. A few days after the appointment I realized that only one of three settings on the hearing aid (the most intensive one) improved my hearing discernibly.' 4. About a year later, I lost one of the hearing aids. I went to another provider and was tested. She said my hearing was the same in both ears (which I knew), and that the remaining aid had been programmed incorrectly. She corrected that, and I noticed immediately that my hearing was greatly improved. There are more issues with the first provider but this should cover it.

    I have never had worse care at any facility than I did at MEEI ER today. As a man who has had a…read morelot of care across the country that is saying something. I am a Registered Nurse and a professional classical singer. I have strong interest in immunology and the singing voice. My big impediment to success in any career is an underlying immune deficiency. I recently developed severe pneumonia. I was started on exceptionally high doses PO steroids and by definition am further immune compromised. Last week I endured new, severe hearing loss and ear pain when I was forced to flee a wildfire by airplane while I was ill with the above pneumonia. Went to MEEI for hearing and ear pain eval. Was asked if I had any issues that needed accommodation. I stated that my hearing loss would make it difficult to hear my name called. They said they had me. Meanwhile the waiting room was packed hook by jowl with patients. No ventilation. No one masking and some had active coughs. I was told to sit in one of the annexes to get some space. I did not hear my name called when the triage nurse called me. No apologies offered from the nurse, just a grumble and annoyance. . After that I was again asked if I had any issues that needed accommodation I again stated my acute, severe hearing loss and was again told that they had me. I am a nurse. I know it sucks to work in health care nowadays so I did not keep harassing folks. I waited patiently. After three hours of waiting in that absolute bedlam I asked what was up. . I was met with attitude and anger. I was told that I had been taken off the patient roster because they had called me and I never came to the desk. They wanted to know why I did not answer them when they called my name. They stated they would place me on the bottom of the triage list and I could wait my turn all over again. I pushed back and stated that this was unacceptable. That as the allegedly pre- eminent ENT ER for the region this was outrageous malpractice. I was given a patronizing speech about having good manners. ( no one identifies themselves so I had no idea who I was being scolded by or what their job title ls). I again pointed out: " I am severely ill with pneumonia. I have severe acute hearing loss. I am immune compromised and my thinking is impaired by high dose steroids". Not a word of compassion. No empathy. Not a hint of an apology. Just more scolding. Patronizingly told that if I was able to act more nicely I would be seen . I am a nice man so of course I was brought to exam room. I was seen by the doc ( no name or title given ) Doc wanted to know why I thought I had immune disorder. She seemed in a total daze. Sent upstairs for Hearing eval. In Audio I was treated with compassion and kindness first and only encounter in the entire 7 hours I was at MEEI. Curiously the Audio clinic had these really cool mid-century buzzers to hold on to so you knew when you were going to be seen. Funny how that technology hasn't tricked down to the ER in 30 years. I guess it's better to yell at your acutely ill hearing impaired patients and threaten to deny care . That makes sense. Seen again by same doc. Told I have hearing loss. Recommended nasal steroids. I stated again that I am on high dose steroids. This was news to her and she then stated nasal steroids contraindicated. Stated she was making a referral to an MEEI doc for me. Wants me seen in 1-2 weeks time. States she was calling in an RX for antihistamine. She handed me DC paperwork. ( never bothered to have me review or sign ) and told me I as good to go. Left ER to discover that DC paperwork tells me to call my PCP ( not an ent ). to ask for Audio referral. Found out they called in RX to a town I haven't lived in for 10 years ( 1 hour drive in each direction.) Went back to ER. They hooked ho apt with audio but in late September. I am supposed to call a number and beg for something earlier. I kept thinking of the outrageous CEO perks that the crooks that run MEEI/ Partners are getting. How many staff are being cut. How many patient waiting rooms are eliminated so those 1%ers can build their mansions and get their yachts and go to their MAGA fundraisers. The care offered at MEEI was an insult to the profession. It is substandard bordering on malpractice. I do not blame a single clinician I met. I do not blame facitlies management. I blame the corrupt CEO's who are ramming our health care into the ground. And taking wonderful clinicians and us poor patients along as hostages . I just lavaged my nose. Took my megadose steroids and antibiotics for my pneumonia. Hoping I dont get sick or go deaf. . will call lawyer if I do

I had not been in for a few years (living out-of-state during Covid made it impossible), but had an emergency with my ear earlier this week created by a mistake at my new PCP's office (note to self: continue search for new PCP). I called Dr. Vernick's office the next day and spoke with Anna - we had a nice chat, she told me she joined the office a couple of months ago and helped me get in ASAP. She recommended I see Mary, the office's RN, and was able to make an appt for me first-thing the following morning. Mary was amazing, looked at both ears to see what happened and then explained in nice, easy-to-understand terms what happened and what to do. My pharmacy let me know 6 hours later (!!!) that one of the two prescriptions she ordered for me was unavailable, so I called the office to go with option #2. I left a message for Mary, she called me back a few minutes later and sent in the next request. I have a follow-up with Mary in two weeks, and am starting to feel a little better after just starting 2 antibiotics. A BIG thank you to Anna and Mary!!
