Our experience with Hearing Life has been a game changer. Brenton was very professional. Exam was thorough and explained in detail. Hearing aids were available for fitting and questions. They were knowledgeable about our insurance, plus offered solutions for other payment methods.

Your staff is very courteous and very informative of my hearing and I really appreciate that and I gave me all my options. I look forward to visiting you again to have my hair checked. Thank you very much.

Listened to my concerns very thoughtfully. Explained hearing test results and potential next steps. Dr. Bonner and Brent know exactly what they’re doing. Hopefully, I will be returning soon.

The hearing screening was brief and I was pleased to get immediate feedback and was able to ask questions about HearingLife. The young man who did the screening explained it to me, was pleasant, unhurried, and respectful, and although I do need to follow up, I received no pressure or hard-sell from him.

Brenton Hoyos is a true professional in his field. The office staff is very knowledgeable and always willing to help. As long as Brenton is at Hearing Life I will never go to anyone else. I just got a new pair of hearing aids and Brenton has them working perfectly. Thank you Brenton and staff at the Summerville office. Steve Howell
