HearingLife was so helpful. I received a free hearing test and consultation for my ears, which was a dire need. I am very thankful for HearingLife.

Jennifer has been great to me no matter what I do wrong. She is the life blood for this office. When one pair no longer worked for me she gave me the latest alternatives more than once with no pressure to purchase. She adjusts these things to my liking for whatever reason I have. Remember, you get what you pay for and I have Jennifer to thank for my decisions.
