When you are on Medicare Advantage, you go to the provider the insurance company chooses. My first journey was with another company. I spent a lot of money on the best hearing aids available. However, I kept having a problem with the left hearing aid. In certain environments, it seemed like an ear plug, which was quite frustrating. To their credit, they replaced that hearing aid three times.
This year, I had to choose another Advantage plan. They scheduled me to see Roy Christensen at Christensen Hearing and Analytics. Roy was upfront that he would charge me for fixing the hearing aids I bought elsewhere about charging me to fix. I told him I understood and would purchase new hearing aids if necessary. He gave me a hearing test and then checked my hearing aids. He adjusted them, and voila, they are fantastic. He charged me like he said he would. I feel it was a fair price. My hearing is precious to me. I don't mind wearing hearing aids because they help me when they work. Mine were working, they just weren't set correctly.
Before leaving, I told Roy, "You're my audiologist from now on no matter what insurance company I have." I highly recommend Christensen Hearing Analytics. read more
