Dr. Katarina literally changed my life. I went to her in desperation after another well-known…read morehearing clinic told me my particular hearing loss couldn't be solved by any hearing aids yet invented! Katarina did a thorough exam and to my surprise put in a demo hearing aid at the end of my exam that enabled me to hear all the sounds I had been missing all these years! How could that be? Well, I looked into it and Katarina is an audiologist while the person I saw (twice) at the other place is a Hearing Instrument Practioner (HIP). Most customers may be well served by a HIP but for those of us with a bit more complicated situation, an audiologist like Dr Katarina is needed. Of course she can help those with more common hearing issues too. Within a week or two after my assessment I got my own customized hearing aid. Over a series of complementary appointments Katarina slowly increased the volume of the hearing aid and showed me how to care for it. Right from day one it felt comfortable to the point I forget I am wearing anything - no problems at all. I found Katarina to be very professional, kind and personable. Her competence is obvious as soon as you meet her. She told me her oldest patient is 102 (!) and her youngest is in her early teens. Her new office is bright and attractive. The location is convenient and comes with easy, free parking under the building or on surrounding streets.

None of the other clinics would even try to help me. Dr. Vavrovicova immediately asked me to come to her office so she could give me a loaner as I was not able to use my hearing aids.

Do NOT go to the NexGen hearing downtown or the North Vancouver locations to see dr. amir soltani…read more During my first appointment with him, he forced me to sit with headphones on to listen to sounds that were extremely painful to experience. When I told him to stop and that the sounds were way too painful for my brain, ears and nervous system, he glared with a very disturbing and angry face and yelled at me these exact words " Do you want to continue, yes or no? yes or no? If you do not listen to this, you are wasting my time! " Then when I asked him some questions about his experiences working with my audiology disorders he clearly was insulted by my questions and he very clearly stuck his middle finger up at me, while pretending to scratch his face. And then when I was in an isolation booth for one more test, I asked him a question about the test, and he did the exact same thing. He pretended to scratch his face while sticking his middle finger up at me and glaring at me throwing daggers at me with his eyes, like he wanted to kill me. I kid you not, this dr. of audiology did this to me, while I was attempting to seek audiology help from him. It was an extremely disturbing experience attempting to seek audiology help with dr. amir soltani. I filed a complaint with his manager, and I honestly don't think she did anything about it. I have filed a complaint about his disturbing conduct to the college of audiologists, and of course, the college review panel claimed he did nothing wrong. I do not think that what I experienced from amir soltani was his ' bedside manners ' or even his Persian heritage, I think that what I experienced from him was a sign of his obvious mental health problems and temper. A patient has every right to ask any licensed medical practitioner, or specialist, specific questions about the test being recommended to them, and about the practitioner or specialist's experiences. If a practitioner or specialist becomes insulted by these questions being asked of them by a patient, especially to the point where the response is anger and/or an implied " $#@! you!!! " Then the practitioner or specialist should NOT be working with any patients, unless they receive professional mental health help and support and have become healthy.

Through several visits with Dr. Soltani he made certain that I chose the correct aid, and that it was fitted correctly and was adjusted to my personal needs. Dr. Soltani 's professionalism, patience and knowledge has increased my quality of life because of my hearing aid. If I had to give one piece of advise to people thinking of buying a hearing aid, it would be this: don't waste your money and time going to the big box stores as you will not get the service or satisfaction that you would get by going to a professional and experienced Audiologist like Dr. Soltani.

Don't be confused as I was, at first, when she refers to your having an appointment for plugs (earplugs). A simple setup where for a pair of sleeping earplugs (super comfy without a measurable decibel rating which isn't encouraging), a stirrup of cotton is placed into both ear canals with the injection of a liquid putty material which prior to setting in 5 minutes, your advised to open and close at least five time to help form any allowances of canal movement. You then choose from a few colour options, are led up front to pay, and advised they'll contact you in two weeks. Fingers crossed.

When I went there to take moulds, they told me it takes 3 weeks, because they are busy but it took 4 weeks. I had 2 weeks to test them. I did and they did not work for me. They barely blocked any noise and were too small, I had difficulty removing them from my ears. They needed a string or something ti grab by. I went back for a better fitting. Only then I was told if I want any adjusting on the plugs, there may be small fee for that and they will let me know. They said they are very busy, so it may be a while. When I did not hear from them for 5 weeks I called the office. I was told, they left me a message 3 weeks ago, that I never got and they werent able to tell what # they called. I was told rhey never adjusted the plugs, cause I have to pay full fee all over again to have that done. So 2 months later and I had no plugs. If i wanted plugs that "maybe" would work, it would have cost me twice the fee???? What kind of service is that? And what happened to " we make the product to your satisfaction" service? 2x fee?? No thanx! I guess they deserve at least one star, cause they were at least able to refunded my money (first fee). Oh yeah, they also mispelled my name, and I handed them my ID .....
