I've driven by Kingston Audiology for years, but had never given them a second look. But I got a…read morebad case of swimmer's ear a while ago and my doctor convinced me to start wearing earplugs. I tried silicone ones from the drugstore, but wasn't happy with the fit. So when I read that Kingston Audiology was under new management, I made an appointment to get some custom-fitted earplugs. I've had friends warn me about going to an independent audiology shop, since they've had bad experiences with high-pressure sales tactics. But that wasn't what I experienced at Kingston. I made an appointment with the audiologist, and was delighted with the care I got. Not only did Dr. Tilley fit me for the earplugs, she gave me some tips for ear health that my regular doctor has never mentioned. I generally like to get my health care from someone who's up to date on their field, and that appears to be true for ears, too. I'm very happy with my earplugs, and haven't had any more problems with water in my ear since I've been wearing them. I think I'm going to go back and have some custom earplugs for hearing protection made, too. I'm going to work harder to make sure I stave off as much hearing loss as I can, and I'm confident I've found a local partner to help me in that quest.

I i've been a patient for three years now at the Poughkeepsie location. Initially the level of care…read morewas on par, now three years into it just getting them to be there at your scheduled time is a monumental ask. In the last year or so the audiologist technicians havechanged two or three times. With each change, they're inability to simply make the schedule time has been fruitless. Most recently, they made an appointment to have my hearing aids serviced. They have contacted my now three separate occasions to reschedule because of nefarious reasons. Finally this morning I said, " Forget it! Have the receptionist contact me when I can come by and pick up some filters and I will clean my hearing aids myself." This company is like the boy who cried wolf, there's ALWAYS an excuse why the technician can't be there on time. I don't know whether it's a staffing issue or a lack of accountability on the management side. Regardless patients come away frustrated.

Be aware of companies that place full page ads to encourage new business. Their primary interest is…read morein growing their business, NOT their existing customers. They will wine and dine you, promise you the world until you sing on the dotted line but once they reel you in, you're just another number on the list. Sadly, after years of being a Byron's customer, I chose to 'fire' him after he rapidly expanded his practice, resulting in an unacceptable level of care, lack of personal attention and outrageous business practices. His staff leaves much to be desired, making mistakes booking appointments and then blaming the mistake on the customer. His wife and business partner is very arrogant and condescending. Years ago when Byron's was a smaller business, there was much more attention and care of service for existing customers. As they grew paid for dramatic newspaper ad campaigns, the LACK of interest in customers increased with the business. Byron is only interested promoting the success of his business. Ask yourself what's more important, a $50 gift card to a local restaurant for signing up for sub-standard hearing care, or finding an audiologist that truly cares for and values their customers? The choice is yours.....

I have had five different types of hearing aids and never was satisfied with any of them. I received the most thorough hearing test and Irene explained my hearing loss to me and proceeded to give me a hearing aid which for the first time gave me the hearing I have strived for , I can't say enough about her or the amazing receptionist Karen who made me feel so comfortable and together they truly made me feel like family. I would give them a 25 star rating but unfortunately it only goes up to 5. I highly recommend Hearing Aid Specialists of Ct but would only recommend Irene to fit the hearing aid best designed to fit your individual hearing loss.

I have nothing but good things to say about Hear Again. Everyone is welcoming. Scheduling is easy…read more The audiologists are friendly and very good at their job. They are very good about follow up, almost too good. Meaning they really do want you to be happy and hearing. I love my hearing aids. I wish I had gotten them sooner. I didn't realize how bad my hearing was until I went outside and heard all the birds for the first time in many years. My only issue bis the exorbitant price which for some reason insurance won't cover. Makes no sense at all. They will however cover you if you get hit by a car because you did not hear it. Or the depression that occurs because you can't hear well enough to have a conversation and you start to limit your social life. Go figure. But that is for our lawmakers to take care of.
