Walter became concerned about his hearing when simple conversations became difficult to understand. He recalls, “I would hear sounds of someone talking in church or at home and had to struggle to understand what was being said; even if we were only 20 or so feet apart, it made no difference if we were in the same room or not.”

Back then he sought help and was fitted with hearing aids. Many years went by, along with several different pairs of hearing aids, and Walter's hearing needs changed with time. Then he decided to turn to Beltone for the latest modern-day solution despite some reservations.

During his comprehensive hearing assessment, not only was his hearing thoroughly assessed, but his daily hearing challenges, lifestyle, and interests were also considered when determining a suitable solution. The result? Walter was prescribed Enusion Platinum hearing aids.

Since then, Walter is thriving with better hearing, thanks to our team and his new devices. He no longer has a problem following conversations, and his new hearing aids clearly outshine his old pair.

Recalling his previous hearing aids, he says, “I had to turn the volume up on my old hearing aids to hear the television and still had problems or use My Pal to hear the television, but with my new Enusion Platinums, this problem has been somewhat solved. Settings, of course, depend a lot on the size of the room, background noise, and distance I am from the television.”

Walter was initially apprehensive about trying the latest technology, but now he’s glad he did. He says, “I had my doubts about the Enusion Platinum hearing aids but find them superior to all my previous aids that I have used over the past 40 years. I now can talk more freely with people and do not have to keep saying, ‘Will you repeat that?’”

Better hearing has reconnected Walter to his family and friends, as well as the world of sound. “In the past, I avoided people because I did not understand what was being said,” he recalls. “Life is much more enjoyable for me now due to the fact I understand what is being discussed and can argue with them just like in the good old days. I like being a real pain in the backside; it's enjoyable. Life is fun again, even if I'm 84.”

Walter believes that consistency plays a key role in his success. He is delighted with his new hearing aids and is committed to wearing them all day. He explains, “I found if my hearing aids are installed in the morning or when I get up, my hearing appears to be better; at least I know my hearing has improved with time. In my case, any improvement is a plus. On-again and off-again use does not work very well for me. I put them in and leave them in for the entire day.”

For Walter, the habit has become part of daily life. He concludes with a bit of humor, “I wear my hearing aids all day, even when I am home alone. If your hearing aids are in your ears or in the charger, they will not be lost or damaged, as long as you are not stupid enough to step in front of a moving auto.”

My journey with hearing loss was beginning to take a toll on me, especially during important moments like my church service. The frustration of not being able to fully engage was disheartening. That’s when Beltone stepped in and truly transformed my world.

I was pleasantly surprised when I received a notification from Beltone for a hearing test. Little did I know that this simple step would lead to such a profound change. Not only did Beltone provide me with a free set of hearing aids, but they also handed me back the gift of sound and connection.

The first time I put on those hearing aids, I was in awe of the newfound sounds that surrounded me. It was like rediscovering the world all over again. The experience was nothing short of amazing. However, the true test of these remarkable devices came when I attended church that Sunday, for the first time in a long time I could hear the whole service, every single word!

I am deeply grateful to Beltone for their generosity and their commitment to making a difference in people’s lives. The gift of hearing aids not only restored my ability to hear but also rekindled my spirit and sense of belonging. Beltone didn’t just provide hearing aids; they provided me with a chance to fully participate in life again.

Thank you, Beltone, for turning my world around and giving me the invaluable gift of sound. You’ve made a profound impact on my life, and I am forever thankful.

Working in a noisy environment began to take its toll on Judith’s hearing.

“My hearing suffered for many years,” says Judith. “Working in a manufacturing facility before there were earplugs, etc., I started with ringing in the ears and then the usual turning up the TV to hear it,” she recalls.

While Judith didn’t have any worries about seeking help, as she “knew that I would be fully tested,” the financial impact did leave her concerned. But then she says, “My advantage plan started offering the test and the paying of part of the hearing aids. I knew it was time.”

Judith’s first appointment at Beltone Hearing Center did not disappoint. “My first impressions were all good. Everyone was ready to help me achieve my goal to hear clearly again,” she notes.

Glad she didn’t put off hearing aids any longer, Judith says, “Hearing aids have been a godsend for me. I knew for a long time that it would only get worse if I didn’t do something. Now, when I take my hearing aids out for the night, I realize how deaf I had become.”

Judith has these words of advice for anyone considering an appointment at Beltone Hearing Center: “Don’t hesitate. If your hearing loss is not significant, they will not pressure you to buy them. There is a range of hearing aids to fit your budget. First check with your health insurance provider to find out if they pay for part of them and how much they pay. That was the biggest thing for me.”

Steve became aware of the seriousness of his hearing loss somewhat unexpectedly.

He recalls, “It was a little scary, an alarm on a piece of equipment was going off and I didn’t hear it. Made me wonder what other warnings I may not be hearing.”

Soon after, Steve made an appointment at Beltone Hearing Center. “I knew I had some hearing loss from being in the military. I just didn’t know it had gotten worse,” he explains.

Following a comprehensive hearing assessment, Steve was fitted with hearing aids.

Pleased with his experience at Beltone, he says, “It’s nice to know you can hear everything going on around you.”

Rating Beltone Hearing Center a 10/10, Steve comments, “If you’re needing hearing aids, I think Beltone is quite helpful.”

When it came to Tim’s hearing loss, he says the hardest part was “that I knew it would never get better.”

Additionally, he says, “I was somewhat worried that the process would be just to get me to buy hearing aids. But it was a very in-depth appointment that went far beyond just buying hearing aids.”

Recalling his first impressions of Beltone Hearing Center, he says it “looked like a clean facility” and “the staff was very nice.”

Now, with his new hearing aids, life is much easier for Tim. He especially notes “that on most occasions, I do not speak as loudly as I once did.”

Tim’s advice to others? “Be open minded. Let them do the checks and see whether you’re a candidate.”

Antonio realized he had a hearing loss when he struggled with “hearing people correctly.” This made following conversations difficult in terms of understanding and feeling confident enough to voice his own thoughts.

Prior to visiting Beltone Hearing Center, he was concerned “that wearing a hearing aid would be noticeable.”

Overall, Antonio is happy with his new hearing aids. He says they’ve “improved my hearing and helped me to be more controversial.”

To anyone contemplating an appointment, he encourages, “Try it, I think you’ll like it.”

Hearing loss often develops slowly over time, as it did for Paul. “When I was asking people to repeat too many times, I knew I needed to do something,” he recalls.

Prior to his appointment at Beltone Hearing Center, he didn’t have any worries because he felt he had nothing to lose. He emphasizes, “The offer is a free, no cost hearing test.”

Paul was impressed with his first appointment, saying, “Nice place. Nice people,” and his results are exactly what he was hoping for.

“I can hear much better again. The Bluetooth control of my model makes using them a perfect experience.”

Paul encourages others to make an appointment. He insists, “Go on in. Take the free test. Understand what help you can get. If not satisfied, say goodbye.”

Herminio was first aware of his hearing challenges when he was struggling to hear other people in conversations.

He explains, “I had to make frequent requests to the speaker, asking him/her to repeat what they had said.”

He decided it was time for a hearing care assessment and chose Beltone Hearing. He remembers his first appointment, “The staff at the clinic were very patient and listened carefully to my concerns before they answered.”

Herminio did not realize how much he had been missing until he was fitted with hearing aids and recalls that, “It was a very pleasant surprise.”

He would recommend making time to have a hearing care assessment and says, “You will be glad you did.”

Audrey is so pleased with Beltone that she has to share her positive experience with everyone she meets.

She says, “My friend was looking for hearing aids, who is fussy, and she bought from Beltone too. I tell everyone about the service and care you’ll receive. I love the hearing aids so much.”

Audrey finally found the all-round care she was looking for at Beltone, saying, “I will not go anywhere else. I’ve been to many other places and Flint Beltone is top notch. They truly care and provide such great service. Peter, Sherry, and Chris are the best.”

She concludes, “Thank you so much for all you do. I always look forward to my appointments.”

Thank you, Audrey, for your kind words. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

I first realized something was wrong with my ears when I couldn't hear the TV—it sounded muffled. Having purchased hearing aids about 7-8 years ago, I had no concerns before contacting Beltone. I knew I could count on Brandon, who is excellent at his job. Wearing hearing aids has made a significant difference in my life; things are clearer now, and I don't have to ask people what they said or turn up the TV volume. For anyone concerned about their hearing and considering a visit, I would explain my situation and the help Beltone provided me.

I love that they set up all the features that are included with the hearing aids on my phone. I can change the volume, set sound for different things, even find them if I forgot where I left them etc. They are only a phone call away and close by where I live. They even come to where I live in a senior independent apartment. Now that's service!
