WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT ACCENT ON HEARING

The best, no-hassel hearing aid on the market!  The only process required is each morning and evening I turn the units “on” or “off” with a magent – a five second process!! Every three or four months I return to Accent on Hearing for new devices when the batteries discharge.  The biggest word of praise comes from my wife.  Not only has my hearing improved, but my snoring has stopped when I use the unit in sleep mode.  To quote my wife, “Where has this technology been for the last 39 years.”     M.M. 12/11

I have had my MOXI hearing aids for about four months now. After years of friends and family complaining about my hearing these have solved many problems. What amazes me is how they can pick up and improve speech in a room with a lot of background noise. Before when we went out to a restaurant, I would just sit and watch everyone else carrying on conversations. If someone spoke to me I would have to cup my hand behind my ear so they would know I didn’t understand what was said. It is nice to be included again.

While being tested, fitted, and having the hearing aids adjusted to suit my hearing problems, I worked with both Joanne and Rachel. They are both very professional and knowledgeable. The explained what they were doing, how the hearing aids worked, and answered all my questions in terms that I could understand. When I called on the phone or stopped by the office with a question, I received personal help then and there, face to face. So much better than being handed a pre-printed page or record message.

If you have any doubts about you hearing I would recommend you make an appointment, get tested, and talk to Rachel or Joanne about what can be done for you. You will be glad you did.

Please feel free to add this to your Testimonials page. I could not be more pleased with any aspect of my dealings with Accent on Hearing.

P.S. I found it funny that after telling any friend or family about my new hearing aids, they all found it necessary stand away from me and talk very softly to test them. Heard them everytime.

The ladies of Accent on Hearing are an absolute delight and are totally dedicated to improving the lives of their customers and families through better hearing. I've worn hearing aids now for ten years. Joanne and Rachel expertly navigated through the excessive red tape in the world of TriCare insurance and secured an upgrade in my hearing aids. I love my new Phonak devices and especially the companion iCom bluetooth device. I ca understand people on the phone better than ever, and the iCom docking station that hooks into my home theatre system is a fantastic bonus! I no longer have to rely on those annoying subtitles when watching movies. I get all the special effects right in my hearing aids. Thanks ladies, you're the best! Scott W. 10/19/11

Dr. Rachel Roberts at Accent on Hearing diagnosed my hearing disability very professionally and recommended the Phonak Audeo SSmart V hearing devices for both ears. My hearing loss is severe in my left ear and moderate in the right ear. My hearing loss is from flying helicopter gunships in Vietnam, and in the past I have had difficulty getting a hearing device that truly provides normal sounds at the right volume without distortions and limited background noise. My wife and I are very happy with the hearing improvement both at home and when we are dining out with company. C.H. 3/2011

I don’t know where to start...It is hard to articulate the comfort and adjustment in not having constant tinnitus ringing. The Zen, by Widex, is a very effective sound cushion.  I was amazed, when I started wearing my new hearing aids, in the clarity and the amplification of sounds around me. I can now hear things like the car turn indicator light and the electric kitchen clock – (noisy little fellows).  The only distraction is wind that tends to create a whistle. C’est La Vie.  Thank you, Accent on Hearing!  E.P. 2/2011

I would like to share my experience with the Listening and Communication Enhancement program (LACE), which was provided by the staff at Accent on Hearing.

To communicate effectively in the 21st century, every one of us needs to listen not only with their ears, but also with their brains. It is within our brain that understanding takes place (listening, communication and comprehension)

LACE is a computer training program that offers 20 self-paced lessons to provide the listener with skills to provide a better quality of life in communicating and understanding conversations that involve challenging scenarios where listening is difficult.

• Being able to block out background speech in a loud-crowded area, and to tune in on the voice you want to hear and understand the conversation.
• Listening to a fast talker and understand the conversation.
• Being able to train the brain to fill in words that may be missed based on knowledge of the English language.
• Recalling the words in a conversation and knowing the words that may follow based on your memory.

LACE helped me to recognize some poor listening habits that I developed.

• I realized that if I did not hear the first part of a sentence, I would tune out the rest of the conversation.
• I also realized that I relied on the closed-captioned for hearing impaired while watching television rather than enhancing my listening skills.
• I would make excuses not to attend events where I knew I would have hearing challenges.

I realized how these listening habits were affecting my life, and I am grateful that LACE has provided the listening and understanding skills that have make my life more enjoyable as well as those affected by my hearing loss.

LACE can improve listening skills to everyone, not just those with hearing impairment.

My only regret for my visit to Accent on Hearing is that I didn't make an appointment here 3 years ago! I am thrilled with my new hearing aids. They are comfortable to wear-in fact nearly invisible to see- and now I can hear! Conversatioons with friends and family are now fun and social situations not stressful. I find I generally fell more confident. The cost of the hearing aids is worth every penny. And the service and care I've received at Accent on Hearing" has been wonderful. I couldn't be more please. It's like a new lease on life! Thank You!! J.L. (5/09)

About 3 years ago I finally decided to invest in two hearing aids with your company. You were highly recommended by a good friend and after years of being embarrased because I kept saying "what" in conversations, I bought them. well since then you have been my bright star in my senior life as I don't say "what" anymore and have very good hearing ability. It has changed my life style and makes me feel good about myself. All I can say is thanks for all you fine service and guidance. Yours truly, R.A. (4/09)

As you know I am a Rancher in eastern Colorado and use my hearing aids only on those occasions when I'm traveling, meeting with people etc. I have often wondered just how much I need them and I really felt I could probably get along without them. I maintained their use, largely to please my wife, who has long said my hearing loss was more than "selective hearing"

On a recent trip to visit my son I found out how really important and effective my hearing aids are. My Daughter-in -law has a very high-pitched voice, as does my ten-year-old grandson. In the past during conversations with them I found myself smiling and nodding a lot, and not really able to participate at a meaningful level. This time I was pleasantly surprised to be a part of the conversations. Whether in their home or in a crowded restaurant I was in the conversation.

To further document the effectiveness of the aids, one day i forgot them at the hotel and was back to smiling and nodding, I won't forget them again. They are simply great. P.R. (2008)
