I am a 67 year old man who has struggled with hearing loss for about 10 years. My concern with visiting an Audiologist or hearing aid specialist was that their main job was to push the most expensive hearing solution on me. Also, after using hearing amplifiers that I had purchased on Amazon for about 2 years, I didn't think that "professional" hearing aids would work much better.
I'm glad to say I was wrong on both issues. I had the pleasure to meet and be tested by Robyn Shapiro at Advanced Audiology in Hollywood in mid January 2018. She discussed the areas where she thought my hearing could be improved, as well my background and lifelong occupation as a musician. The following week, I started "demoing" a pair of hearing aids that she felt met my needs and financial situation and that she had programmed to match my hearing loss. To say that I had a Wow moment when they were placed in my ears is an understatement. I see now that this purchase is as much about hearing improvement, as it is about choosing the right person to support the devices over the course of time. I couldn't be more satisfied.
If you have ever felt that you needed hearing aids but were afraid to be tested, I highly recommend Robyn at Advanced Audiology read more
