Have you heard what our clients have to say?

"I have taken my mother to several places and she has never been as happy as she is with all the people at this center. Rhonda was so empathetic - listened to all my mother's stories and helped her feel comfortable with her new hearing aid. When my mother had a question she called and was given the same attention and warmth that she received with each visit. Go here if you want excellent service - the latest equipment - and piece of mind, knowing your loved ones will be treated with dignity." Donald Baim, Westwood, MA

...Here is a short story that was shared with us after one of our clients "test drove" & purchased the Widex, Passion.

Passion!

Passion comes in different forms: for life, for a spouse or lover, for Eddy’s grape bars, but I found unexpected, life changing Passion one day in June of 2008. I arrived early so I could read a trashy magazine while I waited, but Michelle ushered me into her office before I could find out if George Bush screwed up his daughter’s wedding with his usual bumbling.        

 

We chatted amiably while waiting for the main attraction. I was here on a whim --- a 10-day trial. Figuring I could run some errands while in West Newton, I fully expected to leave unconvinced that I needed Passion in my life but willing to go along for the free ride.

 

Clutching several boxes, Michelle plopped Passion in a rainbow of colors on the desk. She proceeded to fit a program, test me, reconfigure and test once again. I was impressed with the high level of technological advances in something that’s been around for quite a while. Friendly but serious, she fiddled with the computer program to maximize the effect. “Are you ready?”

  

 

Michelle flipped between two choices and I let her know which was best. From classical music to bird songs, I picked A or B with her tweaking each time on the computer. She covered her face with a piece of paper and spoke softly. “ Which one do you think is the clearest?”

 

Tears unexpectedly streamed down my face as I was overcome by Passion. “I can hear you,” I whispered.

 

She explained the new and miraculous technology while I tried to get a grip of myself. The wonder grew as she walked down the hallway, asking me questions the whole while, her voice getting fainter and fainter but I gave the correct answer each time. I couldn’t remember the decade I could do that! 

  

“Blue,” I responded to her question. “Blue is my favorite color.” Wiping my face furiously, I wanted to know where I sign up. My turquoise aids and I went home, finally smiling, and I'm delighted if this is the only Passion I ever have again in my life.

The true test is a whisper, something I can’t hear with my old hearing aids even if talking directly into my ear. If it’s good gossip, I have to drag the person to a safe place to divulge state secrets. Now for the final whisper check. 

“Hit it!”
