Hears to U, Audiology, Hearing & Hearables

Kim and Paula are an excellent team and a great resource for everything audiology related. They are knowledgeable, resourceful, attentive and will find the products that fit your specific needs and wants. The products and services offered by this team are second to none. Highly recommend them. After 20 years of searching for great customer service in audiology, I finally found them!

I had an excellent experience with outstanding advance communication. I filled out my paperwork, was asked about my expected outcome. My insurance was reviewed, I was not authorized to use as a provider, but felt it was worth the investment personally to work with a neighborhood small business. I was very pleased with the process, follow up, recommendations, and shared knowledge. I can't give a higher recommendation.

I came to Hears to U (and Kim Fishman) after years of struggle with another team of audiologist who told me they could do nothing more for my hearing loss. Turns out - - they were right - - they didn’t have the skill, the intuition or the training! Lucky for me, a friend turned me on to Chears, where Kim opened my world. Something there is in her way of testing, listening, caring and fitting devices - - - I now hear the birds, my barking dog, and most importantly - the laughter of my grandchildren. Thanks, Kim! And thanks, Chears Audiology!

Kim at Hears to U Audiology in Hopkins recently set me up with a new hearing aid from Widex and a Widex Com-Dex, a wearable Wi-fi instrument for people with difficulties using their phones. The hearing aid is a Widex Evoke 330, and I’m getting excellent results from it. It’s quiet and quite clear and crisp, but the Com-Dex is what I’m most excited about. I’m very deaf, and I have a LOT of trouble dealing with phone calls. My family members are understanding and I can usually talk to them, but service calls, making appointments, calling a store or a restaurant for information can be a horror story. Many times I’ve had to hang up or give the phone to my wife to complete the call. In the few days I’ve had it the Com-Dex has changed everything. I’ve been making calls with confidence. No more “I’m sorry could you please repeat that? I’m hard of hearing.” The most common words I’ve spoken on the telephone for the last ten years. It sounds like an exaggeration, but to me it has been life changing. I really recommend trying one to anyone who has fear or frustration making phone calls. Kim is everything you want in a health care professional. Super competent, wonderful to work with, the best.

I've been wearing hearing aids since I was 4 years old, alternating between Resound and Widex behind-the-ear hearing aids to help me with my mild-moderate hearing loss. I had a nice pair of Widex hearing aids that lasted me 8 years and then I started searching for a new pair with more features, customizability, and bluetooth. I first went to a Starkey dealer and was disappointed to learn that they had a very limited selection. The sounds were not as crisp and clear as I had hoped, so I returned them during my trial. I searched for more hearing aid dealers and came across Hears to U, where I met Kim and she had 3 different brands for me to choose from. She let me have a trial with the newest Widex, Resound, and Opticon hearing aids. I tried each pair for a week to compare their sounds and features before we finally settled on Resound. I like the phone app, charging case, and clarity of sound. Kim was very helpful in helping me decide which pair worked best for me because everyone has unique needs and lifestyles. I'm very happy that I got a new pair of hearing aids that help me hear better and make life easier!
