Zip Hearing is a breath of fresh air!
Zip Hearing is a breath of fresh air to me! The company provided me with the best price, the right amount of live local support (not online) to get things setup and running, and an ongoing level of support from the national level that is extraordinary. Recently, my receiver wire stopped working just before a trip to a music festival where I would be camping and jamming with friends for a week. I explained to my local provider that not being able to hear well during this time would be an extreme hardship. They claimed they were unable to do anything special in terms of accelerating the order. In desperation I called other local and online providers. After a couple of frustrating and unsuccessful hours, feeling like I was out of options I thought to call Zip hearing. I explained my dilemma to Derrick, whose job is to talk to customers like me, and he arranged for the wire to be shipped next day directly from the manufacturer. Wow! I found a caring person who gets stuff done! This is my second set of hearing aids and in my experience, the hearing aid world is difficult for patients to navigate. The companies that make and sell hearing aids are opaque and focused on marketing. The local providers are hard to access, not built for speedy responses and a very mixed bag in terms of their level of skill, focus on customer service and pricing. Online works well for buying hearing aids, but not for getting adjustments or repairs. The Zip Hearing model covers the bases. Online purchasing is easy. Local support for a year gets you setup and running. In an “emergency” Zip provides effective backup support. I am very glad that I found them.
