I greatly appreciate the Hearing Life team at the Plainfield Ave Location in Grand Rapids MI. Mark is always willing to support whatever needs that may arise. I appreciate the prompt service and the quality hearing aids. I also appreciate that Mark is there to educate, answer questions, and to make adjustments as needed to ensure that the hearing aides are working for me! If you are struggling hearing conversations when talking with family and friends, don't wait any longer. Terri

I was pleasantly surprised with my mother's appointment the other day. Rather than take the easy money (new hearing aids), her specialist Brian Grandon recommended an alternative route. Taking the time to really look at the situation. That attention to detail certainly is leading to a life long customer.
Looking forward to our follow up. The whole staff was warm and inviting.

A top notch place to have your hearing checked. The doctor is excellent and has the patient and their best interest in mind. He was very thorough in the examination and gives you a variety of options. I would highly recommend this doctor. Lisa Dorato

I was visiting from out of town and had an emergency. I am not a patient of HearingLife but called because they carry my brand, Oticon. They saw me the same day and repaired my hearing aids on the spot. The staff was very helpful and considerate. Brian was excellent. The fee was very reasonable.

I phoned in response to a well-timed mailing, as my family said, "Papa, you need your hearing tested!" A convenient appointment was scheduled the same day, and staff were both nice and professional. The clinician did a good job explaining how our ears work, examined my ears and performed the hearing test, then reviewed my results with me. The facility was bright and clean. I highly recommend Brian and his staff.
