Patient Stories
Anne E.
"Now, with hearing aids, I can keep up with conversations at family gatherings. It’s well worth a consultation to know once and for all whether you need hearing help."
Toni
"If you’re concerned about your hearing, I’d say Berkeley Hearing Center represents best practices."
Bruce A.
"Hearing aids have hugely impacted my life. I can now hear birds singing, and my passion for listening to recorded music has been greatly enhanced. Cymbals, bells, percussion, piccolo—oh my gosh, it cannot be overstated how much more I enjoy music now!"
Karen W.
"I have been to two other offices over the 20 years of having hearing aids. Once a friend’s son recommended Berkeley Hearing Center, I have stuck with them. I’m guessing it’s been about 15 years now."
Susan W.
"I have great hearing now and my life is much more enjoyable. I can engage with people that I would have avoided because of my hearing loss. I can hear bird song and the wind and have conversations with groups of people around a dinner table."
Jesjit B.
"It’s really hard to describe. I remember being able to hear the sound of water being poured into a glass and leaves rustling in the wind—things that I had never heard before in my life. It improved my mood, my friendships, professional life, and home life. I’m so grateful for the help Berkeley Hearing Center provided me."
Grace G.
"You cannot find anywhere better to embark on this journey for improved hearing. You can trust that you will understand all aspects of your condition and the best range of equipment that will provide you with the enhancements needed. And, support does not stop once you purchase your equipment. Berkeley Hearing Center supports you with assessment, fitting, competency, and maintenance, and never recommends anything you don’t need."
Wigbert Siekhaus
"My advice to others would be to go, have it taken care of. They are good people, highly competent medical staff, friendly, efficient, and helpful support staff."
Thomas W. Laqueur

Fran B.
“My hearing aids changed my life! I am able to converse more easily, and my “musical ear” came back.”
Larry R.
“My hearing aids have kept me working in the job that I love, made it easier on friends and loved ones and had a huge impact on my level of overall satisfaction with my life.”
Ryann C.
“When I first got a hearing aid, I was delivering a lot of live training – hearing better allowed me not to feel like I was missing questions from the class.”
