Being a customer/patient of audiologists in the Concord, NH area for probably 30 years, I have…read morerotated through several of the providers in town. Of the 4 offices that come to mind, New England Audiology has been my best personal and professional interaction of all. Other "businesses" (and face it, the sale of hearing aids is often the major source of revenue for audiology practices) have not come close to the sense of belonging to a family of concerned, dedicated, and highly competent specialists. Dr. Jaques has been my audiologist for over 10-12 years. I switched to her care when the "made of iPhone" hearing aids were first being released, and having a Bluetooth enabled device that beams your phone calls (and music, podcasts, etc.) binaurally was going to be a game changer. But the former provider, who had sold me Oticon hearing aids (very high quality; check out Consumer Reports), was unable to provide any model of "Made for iPhone" devices. Oticon was pursuing their own accessory device, which I think they finally jettisoned in favor of what had become the standard: made for iPhone. And the new hearing aids from NE Audiology were about half the price that I had paid for the Oticon ones about 5 years earlier. Since I started going to Dr. Jacques, she has added additional staff, as well as taking on audiology students to give them training and real world experience. I have had consistently excellent care. As a retired physician from Concord Hospital, I had worked with medical students, residents from Dartmouth Medical School, PA students from Mass College of Health Sciences from their Manchester location. I admire the dedication of ANY provider who takes on, at no remuneration, health care students and trainees for training for the next generations of patients. During the COVID pandemic, they were top notch in keeping the patients well cared for, with splendid precautions for everyone's safety. I bought new hearing aids about 3 or 4 years ago, to move up to rechargeable instruments over the tiny batteries. And those tiny batteries are expensive, so 4 years of no trips to CVS, adds up to money saved. Even though changing the batteries is only about once a week (larger devices can handle bigger batteries, so get changed less often) having a bedside charger is even easier. Part of the evening routine: charge the iPhone, charge the smart watch, drop the hearing aids into their charger. All told, I am extremely pleased with NE Audiology. They do have a Manchester office as well, but since I live about 1/2 mile from the Concord office, have never made that trip.

The following is my OPINION: Dwight Valdez, the audiologist…read moreI dealt with at Alliance Hearing Center in Peterborough, NH, is the embodiment of incompetence and and maliciousness. After receiving my new hearing aids, unlike all other audiologists I have dealt with over the past 40+ years, he was incapable of adjusting them to adequately compensate for my severe hearing loss -- even after several return visits to achieve that goal. Finally, I had to request that he set my new hearing aids to the adjustment profile of my old hearing aids, a profile that was created by Noelle Paradis, a competent audiologist previously employed at Alliance Hearing Center. Furthermore, after bringing back one of the aids for warranty repair, an aid that had been previously sent for warranty repair and was returned fixed after only 12 days, he slow-walked the 2nd repair, and I had to do without my hearing aid for 31 days! In my opinion, he slow-walked it because I had the audacity to complain that four days after dropping it off for repair, he still had not sent it back to Oticon for the warranty work. In fact, when I phoned to ask about its status, I was informed by his habitually rude and snotty receptionist that he "wore it on his glasses for eight hours" and had not heard any of the annoying, randomly occurring series of beep sounds indicating an error in the aid's operation; thus, implying that I was a liar and/or an idiot, and that he wouldn't be sending it for repair, because apparently I had nothing better to do than waste my time initiating false warranty repair requests that would result in my suffering the loss of an aid for the necessary time to repair it. I had to promise him a bad Google review if he didn't send it for repair in order to get the aid fixed, resulting in his suspected use of cheap snail mail instead of express shipping and the ensuing 31 day wait. Over 40+ years, I've had several aids repaired, and not once did it take more than two weeks. Now I use Brattleboro Hearing Center in Swanzey, NH, where the audiologist Audiologist Karen Dale displayed competence and the receptionist Tina was the epitome of cheerful professionalism.

I brought an elderly friend from Florida, staying with us for a week, to Dr. Robertson because it appeared to me that his hearing aids just weren't helping him much. Within ten minutes, she had assessed, using digital aids (yes, she has up to date equipment), that he was hearing only 50%-70% of what he should be hearing. By the time we left an hour later, he was so much more animated, having conversations with us that he couldn't have had before we saw her, that it was amazing. I am a health care professional; this visit reminded me that some health care professionals are better than others. Dr. Robertson is excellent.

Intermittently for three years I've been bothered by excessive ear wax. At times it has…read moresignificantly interfered with my hearing. I researched the issue on the web as I often do and found the website of Fagan Audiology: https://www.faganhearing.com/. I was impressed by the material on the website. This August (2018) I called them and described my problem. I was told the cost for ear wax removal and a hearing test would be $100. According to my research, this was a price within the normal range for these services. I made an appointment for 08/27/18. I arrived early and so had time to read some of the interesting material in the waiting room. Among other things, I learned that there's a connection between hearing loss and dementia; I hadn't known that. When it was time for my appointment, Dr. Derina Boothroyd, examined my ears and confirmed wax blockage in both ears. She tried to take the wax out with a metal curette, but that caused me some discomfort so we went with option #2: flushing the wax out with a water-pik-like device. Kathleen, the friendly front desk person, assisted. It was very quick and painless. Afterwards Dr. Boothroyd had me dry my ears with a princess-telephone-shaped ear blow dryer. That was a quick process too. Next, Dr. Boothroyd had me sit in what looked like an old fashioned bank vault but was, when the door was shut, a sealed room to test hearing. This was a computerized test. I put on a headset so I only would hear the sounds coming from the machine. I held a clicker in my hand and clicked every time I heard a sound, even if it was faint. I was a little nervous, particularly after what I read in the waiting room. At the conclusion of the test, Dr. Boothroyd pronounced my hearing "normal." I was very relieved and happy. The cost was exactly as agreed on: $100. I think the whole visit took about a half hour. This is my kind of medical visit experience: short, successful, and a modest cost. As a general note, I'd like to say: good hearing is so important. When the wax blockage was at its worst, I was concerned about driving safely because the auditory source of feedback was diminished. Also, I love music, so it was such a pleasure to fully hear my CD collection and download collection again.
