He recommended a remedy that worked. When I returned, he did a complete hearing test and patiently went over the results of the test, and how he would adjust the hearing aid to compensate for the loss. I got my hearing aids, and I'm totally satisfied with the hearing aids and the adjustments he made. Thank you, Byron! I hear he transferred to the Mountain View facilities. Going to miss his support. PS. I'd like to also add Teresa Bello Laroux to my review. she provided me with replacement ear plugs and filters. She patiently demonstrated how to replace the ear plug and the wax filter. She's a very good hearing aid specialist. Great Team!

I brought my father to meet the owner Russell Armstrong in his Fremont office last Wednesday…read more(9/9/15). Russell spent about 1 hour talking about all choices that can help my father to resolve his hearing aids issue. Russell answered my questions in a honest, and professional way. He told me the technical as well as the cost aspects of hearing aids. He wants to help his client to meet the client's needs and satisfaction. He gives the client solutions based on the client's budget. So the client can have options to spend less or more money to improve his/her hearing needs. I consider Russell as a very honest, decent and knowledgeable professional. I highly recommend Russell if you have the need to improve your hearing.

We had a disappointing experience with East Bay Hearing Services. After a paid hearing…read moreconsultation here (which we paid $95 for), we were quoted $7000 for the high end Oticon Intent 1. At the end of our paid consultation, I shared that I would do my homework and follow up. When I shared via email that I was seeing quite a bit of pricing variance online, East Bay Hearing immediately dropped the price from $7K to $5K. When I did further online research, and shared screenshots documenting that the Oticon Intent 1 was available for $3399 one place and $4445 at another place, they said they would try to price match. They later communicated they could not go lower than $5000. If they had been willing to improve their pricing even a little (to, say, $4800), as a sign of good faith, we would have likely gone with them (their location and service was appealing to us) but their hard line stance on the $5K (coupled with the fact their original quote of $7K was nearly 30% higher than their second quote of $5K - which they offered up as soon as I shared my benchmarks, suggesting they're regularly overcharging folks who are not skilled at online price benchmarking), turned me off.
