Patient Testimonials

Advanced Hearing Aid Center has worked with thousands of SLO County residents over the years.  Here are just a few comments from some of your neighbors.

 

David Bufo - Los Osos
“I have had a hearing loss for years and didn’t think that I needed hearing aids.  It became very evident that my hearing loss was affecting both my personal and professional life.  I was having difficulty with conference calls and business meetings at work.  I came to Aaron, he tested my hearing, confirmed my hearing loss and he fit me with small hearing aids.  Since then communication in my family life and my professional life is much better.  My wife and I are amazed on a daily basis at what I can hear.  I can’t believe that I waited so long to get my hearing aids.  If you sense that you are having any sort of hearing problem you owe it to yourself to get your hearing checked"

 

Grace Warten - San Luis Obispo
"I was playing the TV too loud and it was driving my husband crazy!  He urged me to get my hearing tested.  I knew I wanted to go to Advanced Hearing Aid Center because a friend recommended Dr. Marquis.  I had my hearing tested and was fit with hearing aids.  Now my husband is happy and I am too.  It makes a big difference and I love it!  My hearing aids allow me to be in the company of friends and family without saying “Huh”.  If someone is having a struggle to hear they will get much more pleasure out of life if they have their hearing tested and get the hearing aids that they need.  It’s a whole new world when you are able to hear!"

  

Wendy McIntire - Paso Robles
“I’ve been wearing hearing aids for about 14 years. I’ve had several different sets.  But my hearing aids from Advanced Hearing Aid Center are really good.  They are quiet and sound natural.  I really like them and I like how I hear.  If someone is having trouble with their hearing they should get their hearing tested immediately.  If a hearing test shows that you need hearing aids you should get them.  For me, I have always considered it to be a privilege to have hearing aids because it opens up the experience of being able to hear so much more.  Most of the time people don’t even notice that I wear hearing aids.”

 

Beverly Thompson - Santa Margarita
"My husband and children began to notice that I was having difficulty understanding conversation and had a hard time being in social situations like restaurants.  Thanks to Advanced Hearing Aid I am very happy with my new hearing aids.  The technology is cutting edge, the design is lovely, comfortable and light and best of all they are water proof! At the Advanced Hearing Aid Center I'm always greeted warmly with a smile.  I hardly ever have to wait and am pampered with coffee and biscotti at the ready. I'm always given a card for my next appointment and called for the reminder. My improved hearing has definitely improved my professional, social, and family life. I happily "show off" my new hearing aids and am quick to recommend Advanced Hearing Aid Center because I want my friends to be as comfortable hearing well, as I now do. I thank the staff at Advanced Hearing Aid Center for caring about me!"

  

Derek Spang - Morro Bay
"I was born with a hearing loss, and I have worn many different hearing aids since I was 4 years old. I play on my High School Football and Basketball teams.  I am a competitive player and it is important for me to hear the play calls from my coach and teammates.  With my previous hearing aids I wasn’t able to hear as much as I am able to hear with my new hearing aids. The other day I was able to hear an owl for the first time!  Hearing aid technology just keeps getting better."

Tony Kunkel - Santa Maria
"There are some tall tale signs that your hearing is detracting, listening to the TV too loud, asking the wife to repeat herself, or misunderstanding people. Finally I went to Advanced Hearing Aid Center, and they solved my hearing problem in a convenient and easy way, and they made my wife happy too.  Hearing loss does not happen over night, it develops over the years. Just like a vision problem, one day you realize you can’t read that sign so you go get eye glasses. With a hearing loss, you start dropping out of conversations with people because you can’t understand them. This is when it’s time to go do something about your hearing, and get tested. You will realize you should have done it a long time ago.  You can’t put a price on one of your most vital senses. It changes your life!"

 

Jan Wilson - San Luis Obispo
“ I was missing out on too many conversations, and I’m just too social to take a back seat to that. I used to teach different classes, and I was not able to hear the students. I’ve been wearing hearing aids for 10 years, and the biggest difference between these aids and the others is that I’m actually wearing them. I used to just pull them out when they bugged me, but now I have to reach up and feel if I’m wearing them because they are that comfortable. I have 4 programs on my hearing aids, and I make good use of all the settings. Dr. Marquis is knowledgeable and very good at what he does. I tell everyone that Advanced Hearing Aid Center is best place to go.”

 

 

Jake Webb - Atascadero
“ Since I was born I’ve worn hearing aids. Aaron has helped me take advantage of the new technology. I love my hearing aids, I can’t live without them. I work with the deaf community and translate for them, because I’m still able to hear with my hearing aids. I would like to encourage anyone that is having trouble hearing, to come visit my friends at Advanced Hearing Aid Center, and he will help you like he has help me. Please don’t feel ashamed or embarrassed about hearing aids…they can really improve your life, just like they do for me.”

Charles "Wray" Miller - Cambria
"I’ve been wearing hearing aids for about 3-4 years now. Before hearing aids I was talking loud and reading lips. If I had a ball game on I would have to turn it up so loud it would run the girls out of the house. I had difficulty carrying on a conversation with anyone, it was uncomfortable for me to have someone repeat themselves. I live an active life at 82 years old and enjoy music, the arts, symphony and jazz in particular. Dr. Marquis made sure to adjust my hearing aids so that I can get the most out of music and conversation. I have been recommending all of my friends to Advanced Hearing Aid Center."
