Hello - I wanted to…read moreexpress to those considering seeing a Hearing Specialist in Central Connecticut that the Hear Again Center in Vernon is terrific. I am writing this on behalf of my parents Angelo & Carol Gesmundo, and have been to this office with them and seen first-hand how wonderful the service they provide. The staff at Hear Again are excellent at evaluating your current hearing, fitting hearing aids so they are comfortable, and adjusting the volume so that the aids work at their maximum levels. In particular, my parents rave about Allison Blunt, pictured with them below. Allison has a wonderful sense of humor, is smart, thorough, polite, and makes their visits to Hear Again fun! The quality of life of my mom & dad vis a vis their hearing has improved tremendously since they've obtained hearing aids. For all of these reasons, my parents and I STRONGLY recommend Hear Again, and ask for Allison Blunt specifically! She is so outstanding at her job, and if you are nervous about seeing a hearing specialist you will be at ease immediately.

This place will let you rot before they see you on an emergency basis. My husband has been a…read morepatient of this practice for over 30 years when Dr. Weinberg started the practice. One day he had an acute bout of dizziness, loud ringing in his ear and severe nausea. I called the office to see if I could get him in. I told them his symptoms and stated how sick he was. They then told me that he could not be seen for a little over a month and a half. That he needed to have a hearing test first. I said he can hear just fine,, this is an acute thing and can a doctor at least look in his ears?! The woman on the phone said NO it is standard protocol to have a hearing test first to determine the cause. She then said to go to a walk in clinic. We had no choice so that is what we did. They basically gave him pills for dizziness because they were not equipped to check him out like an ENT doc would. His symptoms subsided a little over the course of a week, but he never completely got rid of the dizziness. Three weeks later it happened all over again. I called again and said he needs to be seen because this is twice in less than a month that this has happened. Again she said we have no openings until the appointment which was still over a month away. Complete lunacy!! Then four days before his appointment that we waited so long for, we get a letter in the mail stating that we needed to call them because they needed to reschedule the appointment!! Fist of all,, they couldn't call us? They send a letter for us to call? When I called, she said that they had to reschedule do to being down to only one audiologist and it was yet another month before he could be seen!! I said what??!! Really?! You let your patients suffer this long?? And now even longer?? I then said to the receptionist to completely take my husband off the list and also as a patient and that I was going to find another ENT office that cares about their patients. And I did. And they got him in in two days. What doctor cannot even take 10 minutes within a two month span to even check their patient's ears? This was a complete waste of time on my husband's part feeling awful for almost two months straight. And nothing but complete aggravation on top of it!! I would give no stars if I could. Go find yourself a more caring office.

My 93 year old mother had a small stroke 3 weeks ago. She came home from the hospital and she said…read moreshe could not hear very well. I called Ellie Kartsen and she said to to bring them right down and she would be able to look at them. I waited in the parking and within 20 minutes she cleaned the aids and my mother was able to hear again. Great service with a smile. My mother had a set back from her stroke and she back in the hospital again and she was sent to a rehab facility. When we called the rehab facility about bring up batteries for her hearing aids, they said she only had the right not the left. Again I called Ellie and said the hospital lost the aid and we needed to order another left. She said it was not so easy to order one without her coming in for testing and that was not possible at this time.Ellie called the factory and was able to pull off a miracle and ordered another hearing aid for my mother. Ellie has gone above and beyond with her professionalism, service and compassion for her patients.

He even let me use a pair of hearing aids which other places I visited would not. Which I thought above what other places I have made appointments would do Unfortunately the prices for the pair of hearing aids was my insurance would cover Also I didn't like echoing in my ears from my voice. but Jeff said that would go away in an hour once i got used to them. The hearing aids in my ears were not unbearable.

Well, that was the 1st I have heard that I had cataracts, and I told her there was no way in the world she was going to operate on my eyes. She said that she may not allow me to drive. Now, I can decide if I'm safe to drive or not. I asked her if she was legally required to report it to the DMV and she said no, but sometimes she does - well, first, that's illegal. That is against HIPPA. Second, I am NOT going to let anyone bully me into something I am not comfortable with - especially with SOMEONE I'm not comfortable with. For that, alone, I will never go back to them. Also, though, the visit before that, I think I got the wrong script for my glasses because the glasses I had were not good, and she said my eyes got better - I know for a fact that was not true. I still haven't gotten my new prescription...
