Wise consumers think in terms of value rather than price when it comes to buying new hearing aids because you can't put a price on being able to hear.

Clifford Pearson, owner of Hearing Services of Marin in San Rafael CA, has worn hearing aids for more than 50 years. So he understands what it's like to wear one and how to relate to those who have hearing problems and want to solve their need to hear as best they can. That personal experience, together with discussion of the problems of hearing loss, comprehensive testing and follow-up care, are why Hearing Services of Marin clients say that Hearing Services of Marin provides the best value in hearing aids.

Best Value in Hearing Aids

Often, when people start investigating ways to hear better, pricing or so-called price-shopping is their first point of reference. This isn't the best place to start because of the confusion about what is available in the marketplace, and the different price points for the different technologies that are available today. Many times, people buy hearing devices without even knowing if warranties, service and batteries are included.

Prospective buyers get better results and save money in the long term by looking at the value of the whole package, rather than focusing on the initial cost. At Hearing Services of Marin, they get personalized attention and experienced care that makes all the difference.

Every hearing aid purchased at Hearing Services of Marin comes with manufacturer warranties and loss/damage coverage, in-office services on the hearing devices, and batteries for three full years. 

Clifford Pearson at Hearing Services of Marin wants you to be completely satisfied. That's why he makes it a priority to find you the right device that fits your needs and lifestyles and works for you in being able to fit into or onto the ear and is easily adjustable for the client.

It's vital to deal with a hearing aid dispenser that understands the importance of hearing aid maintenance, especially because hearing aids get dirty with use. "Usual build up like moisture, outside agents such as dirt, and even your own body chemistry eventually prevent the hearing aid from working properly and keep you from hearing the best you can. By giving our clients routine maintenance, we can possibly prevent the 'big bill' and with that routine may prolong the life of the hearing device or devices," explained Clifford Pearson.

The Results You're Looking For

It's important to have adjustments made to a new hearing aid after having worn it for awhile in everyday situations. Clifford Pearson shared, "We give every client a personal evaluation and consultation. Then we fit them with their new hearing aid and ask them to wear it for a week and evaluate its performance in everyday life. When they come back in for their recheck, we discuss any problems or changes they've experienced and tweak the hearing aid based on their observations."

Clifford can offer more than the average hearing aid dispenser because of his own experience as a hearing aid user. "I have a personal perspective on what wearing hearing aids is all about," says Clifford, "and I am honest with my clients about the reality and the challenges."

Clifford tells clients what they can expect. "Hearing aids aren't replacements for normal hearing," he explains. "The knowledge has grown leaps and bounds, but there's still the reality that they have hearing loss and there's no way we can make it perfect. But we can solve most of our clients' problems through careful testing, accurate fittings and by choosing the right hearing devices for their needs."
