Look Behind My Ears

I can hear again and I know why ! I finally bought myself a pair of hearing aids at the Center For Better Hearing Aids. I had been tested at my beloved Kaiser many times and told that if I wanted to I should buy some hearing aids which might help my mid-level loss in both ears. After a flirtation wit a pair I bought there I returned them because "they didn't make much difference".

As a Realtor at Red Oak Realty in Berkeley, it is essential that I hear what my clients are saying all the time, that I do not miss the nuance of their comments. Until now and for a very long time that has been a more of a problem than I was willing to admit.

This winter I allowed myself to see Greg at The Center for Better Hearing in El Cerrito Plaza ( plenty of parking) where over three +/- months working him I came to understand that I do have a serious hearing loss which has been corrected.

Greg's style was to work patiently and meticulously with me on a regular basis, sometimes once a week, until the hearing aids were working effectively, feeling comfortable and staying put in my ears the way they must or else " why bother".
I wore the testers with Greg's adjusting them until they were perfect; at least perfect for me, and I trusted that the whole idea that wearing hearing aids was a significant addition to my life.

When we achieved that status he ordered me a pair of " ruby red"  hearing aids which turned out to be less Wizard of Oz sparkly shoe color and more muted red. We were initially disappointed but decided that it was a better color to blend in with my hair.  BTW, you cannot tell that I am wearing them unless I whip them off to proudly show them to you.

I was and am delighted with the attitude and intention of everyone at the Center and the care and kindness that I received. If you need hearing aids or even think that you do,  take the plunge as i did and make an appointment to explore the possibilities. The visits are free, including the testing, until you decide to buy the hearing aids. I am sure that you can pay a bit less at other venues but I know that you will not get better care insuring that you have bought just the right hearing aids for your loss and life style and achieved a clear understanding of what is causing your loss, than at The Center for Better Hearing Aids, nor could you work with nicer and more competent people.
BRAVO TO GREG AND HIS STAFF, AND TO ME WHO FINALLY BIT THE BULLITT AND CAN HEAR WHAT YOU ARE SAYING !

The Center for Better Hearing Aids is located in El Cerrito Plaza between See's Chocolates and the ones I now prefer at Trader Joe's.
