Hearing loss can slowly take away the most treasured parts of one’s life.

For Darren, he was most worried about “not hearing the grandkids.”

Prior to coming to Acadian Hearing Services, his main goal was “finding the best hearing aid.”

He describes the Acadian team as “the nicest people” and after having a comprehensive hearing assessment, he was fitted with hearing aids, which he describes simply as “amazing.”

Rating Acadian Hearing Services 10/10, he encourages others to also make an appointment, saying it’s “the place to go.”​

At first, Colleen’s hearing loss seemed funny, but soon it became clear it wasn’t a laughing matter.

Colleen recalls, “For several years, I misunderstood what my family were saying. It started out as a family joke. ‘You need hearing aids. Ha!’ It got progressively worse.”

Before visiting Acadian Hearing Services, Colleen didn’t have any worries. She says, “My desire to be able to HEAR properly obliterated my fears. I just knew that I needed help.”

According to Colleen, Acadian “came highly recommended” and she “soon discovered that their good reviews were earned.” She adds, “They were so kind and PATIENT with me.”

Maria has worn hearing aids for over 40 years, but she recalls the moment she discovered she had a hearing loss quite vividly.

She says, “I was 26 years old and volunteering at the school my 6-year-old son was attending. The school nurse was testing hearing that day. By chance, she demonstrated the equipment by testing my hearing. I was shocked to learn I had hearing loss in both ears. I had no idea! I was so young.”

Following this, Maria underwent further testing and even surgery, but sadly, it became evident her hearing loss was here to stay. She says, “I had further testing by an audiologist and an ENT doctor. Even had a delicate inner ear surgery in one ear by a specialist in New Orleans, which only gave temporary positive results.

“It was confirmed. I would continue to gradually lose my hearing in both ears.”

When Maria first came to Acadian Hearing Services, she had been wearing hearing aids for ten years and was looking to purchase a new pair.

Remembering her first appointment, she says the team was “professional and at the same time friendly and welcoming.”

Hearing aids have made a huge impact on Maria’s life. She says, “I am so grateful that I can be helped by wearing hearing aids. They are so vital in my everyday life! The first thing I put on in the morning and the last thing I take off at night!”

She encourages prospective patients, “Run, don’t walk there! For over 30 years, Acadian Hearing has been my go-to place for all my hearing needs. That should speak volumes of my confidence and trust in their team.

“For most of those years, Dr. Garrido has been my audiologist. She seems to anticipate my hearing needs.

“When I could no longer hear my alarm clock, she introduced me to a device that connects to my bedside lamp. At the time I have set, the lamp flashes on and off. The light wakes me up!”

Maria gives Acadian Hearing Services a 10/10 rating.
