As usual as great experience. Chris upgraded my hearing aids, and then had to spend quite a bit of time to them to connect with my phone calls. Chris was very helpful. His expertise in this field is second to none. Thanks Chris for improving my hearing.

I am very pleased with the whole experience with Chris, from my first meeting to my first fitting today. He's professional, very knowledgeable, and passionate, without being pushy. The Audibel hearing aids are wonderful, too. It is great being able to hear all the sounds and voices around me again the turn signal in my car actually does click. I thought it was broken

My hearing loss presents challenges but Chris does his utmost to make sure that I get maximum results from my hearing aids. Great place to deal with!
