I have had a moderate hearing loss for many years. Recent, during the pandemic, I had a sudden severe loss which left me almost completely deaf. My experience with hearing aids had been far from satisfactory. Usually I was tested, then fitted with a hearing device and sent on my way without the needed support and care. I needed to get help. I turned to Hears to U and found that they use a very different approach. They emphasize getting to know you and your specific hearing loss. I was tested, then given opportunity to try out a variety of devices until a good fit was achieved. Adapting to

I'm definitely not a techie kind of person! Even the idea of using my smartphone to control my hearing aid was intimidating. But, with the upbeat encouragement and simple instructions I received from Kim Fishman at Hears to U, I began experimenting with different aids and getting more comfortable with the technology. By the time I'd selected the perfect aid for me, Kim joked that I could almost be her audiologist assistant!

I've been wearing hearing aids since I was 4 years old, alternating between Resound and Widex behind-the-ear hearing aids to help me with my mild-moderate hearing loss.

I first went to a Starkey dealer and was disappointed to learn that they had a very limited selection. The sounds were not as crisp and clear as I had hoped, so I returned them during my trial. I searched for more hearing aid dealers and came across Hears to U, where I

HEARS TO U's audiologist is very personable and wants her clients to hear the best they possibly can! Being able to try several different devices for several weeks before we made a decision, was more than we expected. When we had an issue with the programing feature, we were able to get in immediately for service. We have told several folks about the excellent care we've received. We would highly recommend HEARS TO U!
