I have found in my journey with hearing aids that the devices' lifespan seems to be about 3 years…read more First fitted almost nine years ago, and I am going to be fitted for my third set. I have been loyal to Collier Hearing Center and also loyal to the Widex brand. Purchasing hearing aids without medical insurance is expensive. One caveat, I do purchase the high-line hearing aids. I've found through years of use that a telecoil is a must-have for me. Our church is equipped to broadcast on the telecoil frequency. I no longer have an excuse for not hearing the priest. :) My biggest problem is a crowded room with conversation. This set will solve some of that problem. So at the next Yelp event, if I nod and smile, they didn't solve the issue. If I nod, smile, and engage, then I can hear.

My 95 year old mother needed a hearing aid so she went with a friend to Decibels. She is blind in…read moreone eye and half blind in the other so we felt that getting professional help was necessary. The cost of the heating aids was $3,000. We were told that there is a 30 day trial period and a $350 charge to replace a lost hearing aid. Unfortunately, my mother lost one hearing aid during the trial period. When I called them about the list hearing aid, they said it would be about double that amount. After I told them that was unreasonable, they said that they would charge her $350. The hearing aids cost $3,000 and that seemed reasonable. I was led to believe that the payment of $350 resolved the lost hearing aid issue -- but it didn't. That was clearly a deceptive business practice. She tried a second set of hearing aids, but they were too small, and they would fall out of her ears. So she returned them. At that point, she was out of options. An over the ear type would not work because she can't lift one arm over her shoulder. When my mother said she'd like her money back, she was told that she'd get only $1,500 back. They gave her one hearing aid, but what good is that? They said my mother signed the purchase agreement and it stipulated that she'd get only half back. They claim that the contract says the $350 pays for a replacement but she's still out $1,500 plus the $350. But ask yourself, would you expect a 95 year old, nearly blind woman to read the fine print in this contract? None of this information was mentioned to me or to my mother. The sad part is that now that my mother got burned by this company she's not interested in looking for another hearing aid. My advice -- STAY AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE FROM THIS COMPANY.

My father was in Naples for the winter and visited Decibels to have his old hearing aids repaired…read more The staff at Decibels took care of his old hearing aids and adjusted them to make them work a lot better. While I was down visiting I decided to purchase him a new set as they had some new ones that he could hear me a lot better on the phone with. Their whole process for the new ones was really straight forward and the people there are so nice and take really great care of him. I'm glad he happened to drive by their office on Michigan and stop in. I trust the care that they're going to give my dad. They were great! Shout out to Andy and Dr. Gates for helping me and my dad out.

I had a very good experience with Advanced Hearing Technology and would definitely recommend them,…read morein fact I already recommended to one of my co-workers mothers. I started loosing my hearing in my mid 20's and I've always been sensitive about it. This is my third set of hearing aids, all purchased through different places and it was my best experience. I was allowed to try different manufacturers for a week at a time until I found the hearing aids that worked best with me and my busy, active lifestyle. Dr. Hingst listen to me and her and her team were always super friendly. Hearing aids are an extremely expensive investment so it was nice to make sure the pair I chose were what I wanted.
