Thorough evaluation and fitting
Ascent Audiology & Hearing took their time to be very thorough with the testing and fitting, and made sure that it was all correct. I feel comfortable that I got the best possible product from them, and I bought a Starkey. They seem to be working pretty well.
They give a bunch of hearing tests, like the usual one where they put tones in each ear at different sound levels and frequencies. Beyond that, they did a test that used different voices and sounds at different levels--and with different amounts of background noise--just to see what I responded to. It was a very friendly environment. I did go to one other audiologist and I didn't think the other one was as thorough in their evaluation as Ascent Audiology was.
