There are many fine places that you can buy hearing aids. The Sonus location at E. Main Street in El Cajon is not one of them. The office assistant Evette does not open the store for most days and does not notify 'patients' when repaired items come in. In fact, in my case, she did not return my 8 calls over more than a week. This was the second time with a complete lack of communication. I foolishly gave them another chance, only to be betrayed again. The only reason I was able to make any contact with that branch was when I called the main office and spoke with corporate management, they have a secret number to reach that store, apparently that she will answer. The very helpful Kay from corporate headquarters looked up my file. As it turns out Evette got my date of birth wrong, (good thing they do not dispense drugs) but Kay corrected it and was able to look up my account.
They knew for more than a week that my hearing aid was not repairable by Resound, and did not bother telling me in order for me to acquire an alternative for an extremely important Court appearance.
Evette is clearly not interested in helping the customer but instead, is interested in figuring out when is her next break and getting out of work without returning any phone calls or emails from alarmed customers that realize they made a grievous mistake in entrusting Evette and Sonus to deal with this essential matter.
Again, there are many fine and reliable places to obtain hearing assistance; maybe even other Sonus branches, but if you have a hearing aid need, NEVER entrust the careless and distracted Evette at the Sonus branch at E. Main Street in El Cajon for those needs. Since they do not keep regular business hours, sometimes not opening for days AND they do not return phone calls, dropping a hearing aid off with them for repair just means it is missing in a black hole with no way to contact them as to why it is taking so much longer than they said it would. If I had not called the corporate headquarters, it certainly begs the question, when, if ever, would they have called to let me know that fact that my hearing instrument would not be repaired and needs to be replaced.
Clearly, why pay high prices for aggravation; it would be much better to go elsewhere that has competent people that care. High prices and remarkably poor communications and non-existent quality service are all Sonus on E. Main Street in El Cajon, has to offer. read more
