Hear for Life Hearing Aid Centers

As someone who has recently started wearing Hearing Aids, I can confidently say that the staff at Hear to Life in Bakersfield have answered many of my concerns. From the moment I started using them, I noticed a remarkable difference. Conversations are now clearer and more enjoyable, allowing me to engage more fully with friends and family. The crisp sound quality and adjustable settings make a difference compared to the other brands I have recently tried.

Chris from corporate reached out, and was very apologetic about how we were treated over the phone for needing a tracking number. Offered an appointment at another Hear for Life. 3 prior office visits. Hadn't raised any concerns prior to getting the run around for needing a tracking number. This gas lighting is unnecessary. Why allow me at any location if fear of the employees safety is the top concern? The Hearing Connection was ready to see us within 24 hours of our call! They are making personalized molds for each ear and making real over the ear hearing aids in her wigs color to match to it. We also were given a digital print out of each ears abilities. The hearing aids themselves are miles and miles apart from the battery powered single use unit being peddled to medicare by Hear for Life. If you want to be treated like a criminal, as management would have you believe. By all means. If you prefer a quality experience with your Medicare funds and a responsible business I strongly recommend The Hearing Connection at 5500 Ming Ave #100 bakersfield, California. I really hope this review helps some folks who really need a good hearing aid but do not have expensive insurance. HEAR FOR LIFE TOOK 9 WEEKS FOR THE INITIAL HEARING AID. THE HEARING CONNECTION WILL HAVE THEM MADE WITHIN 2 WEEKS. BECAUSE OF HOW CRUCIAL HEARING IS TO LIVING. Will be filing a Medicare compliant for the clearly inferior product being grossly over charged for to medicare. This defamatory statement about my demeanor with staff prior to requesting a tracking number as my IHSS recieptant instructed me to do, is simply unlawful, in bad taste and will clearly serve as a warning to avoid your business or be defamed 🤔... ‐------------ Will be filing a compliant with Americans with Disablities, as well as contacting medicare and medi-cal to know exactly what was charged for. Very unprofessional staff, complete time wasters. I really don't understand how professionals in their field of hearing aids can order a 90 pound 4 foot 8 inch elderly woman an xlarge hearing aid. Recall these are hearing technicians, not a doctor among the staff. I made and kept a hearing appointment for my IHSS recipients all the way back in March. We recieved the hearing aid in May and on our follow up appointment 2 weeks later these technicians realized the discomfort being created by a grossly oversized hearing aid. We were told that we would have the correct size hearing aid two weeks later. My recipients had me call 2 and a half weeks later to find out where the hearing aid was. I am obviously the worst person for wanting to have a tracking number because I am done hearing 2 more weeks from these professional technicians. These professionals have told this elderly woman, on her 79th birthday that they are now canceling her order lol. Because they will not work with her ihss provider. I beg all your pardons. You folks have to do a much better job. I just want you all to know that now we have to report this to medi-cal and make sure this place refunds all the monies charged by their complete lack of professionalism, as well as make a formal compliant with the Americans with Disabilities. These technicians, are not doctors and have a very high opinion of themselves and their repeated short comings are not to be addressed or highlighted. After 13+ weeks this smells at least completely unprofessional if not fraudulent. Now that my recipients have had the pleasure of seeing and using their hearing aids, they have finally come to terms with the fact that amazon has hearing aids for 50 to 100 bucks for a set that work just as poorly as the hearing aids being offered here but never actually delivered. LOL.... can anyone explain how a plastic hearing aid can be stocked by the likes of walmart and amazon and a center called hear for life some how 🤔 doesn't have a single unit on hand lol.... Wouldn't having the various hearing aids available during the appointments help these technicians to make the correct recommendations for their clients? I really don't understand this at all.

If you are coming in for a medicare or medi-cal funded hearing aid. Good luck with that. Worse thing you will ever be prescribed :-(.... If you are able to pay or have private insurance helping that would make all the diffrence in your experience here. I find that to be very rude. Having to make multiple appointments for the same issue which does not get addressed is very difficult to stomach. There are few choices when dealing with hearing lose. I have realized that hear for life does not actually employee any doctors. These are employees who can only make recommendations based on how much coverage you have. Going forward I will only deal with an actual doctor not a sales person.

At 61 I lost my hearing in both ears, I took both hearing aids for cleaning an tube replacement the service was top 1St rate. they offer testing an can explain the technology upgrades, they take most insurance an I believe medical. They have been taking care of my needs as a little kid

Every time I visit the store/office my problem gets a solution whether a hearing aid needs repair, i need more information, or a physical problem has popped up—there’s always a working solution. Like the devices sold there, the staff is exceptional and I have come to depend on them also just like their exceptional machines for my ears. Gaylen

I found the team at the Bakersfield office professional and pleasant. They were very thorough in the explanation of the hearing device and provided expert help with any questions l had. I highly recommend the staff to any person who has a question regarding their hearing health.
