‘The Hearing Aids Have Helped Me Perform Better At Work and Live a “Normal” Life’
I remember the first time I was diagnosed I was about 13. The thought of wearing hearing aids was difficult to digest. One of my biggest concerns was the idea of being bullied at school.
My first impressions of Dove Hearing Center were that they were Innovative! The first test I got was in their mobile office. Seeing that this center had a mobile office capable of performing the same duties of a regular office fascinated me! This showed me the passion Dustin Dove has for helping patients.
The hearing aids have helped me perform better at work and live a “normal” life. Now I don’t miss out as much as I used to!
The team at Dove Hearing Center is very caring and compassionate for their patients. They help you through the way and make sure you receive the best care. I really think you should consider checking them out, you won’t regret it!

When asked how my hearing aids have impacted my life I say ‘Huh?’ Just kidding……I can now join in conversations and have the TV at a normal level and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them.

‘Dustin Is Very Easy To Work With’
I have had hearing loss since 16 months old.
Dustin helped me to get a better hearing aid and he is very easy to work with. I thought he was just another audiologist and boy was I wrong. Dove Hearing Center is the best provider in my life for 50 years!
Dustin Dove is amazing!
I’ve struggled my whole life. I highly recommended all go and see him.

‘Don’t Put It Off. Any Further’
My wife saw the sign stating “Free hearing test” and it made me stop by. If it wasn’t for her I would have just kept smiling and nodding my head when people talked to me.
I was made to feel very comfortable at my visit, it was like we were old friends.
I love my hearing aids. I now hear my grandkids. I forgot all the sounds that had faded away. Birds chirping and the wind blowing through the trees.
Don’t put it off any further. The hearing test is quick and painless. They understand what you are going through and will help you.

‘I Trusted Him Almost Immediately’
I was a little concerned about not wanting hearing aids or the feeling of shame and not wanting people to see me.
I was thrilled to find out Dove Hearing Center could come to my home as I had trouble getting transportation. Dustin was a very polite man, friendly and very professional. I trusted him almost immediately.
Hearing aids have impacted my life as I now enjoy being around and am more comfortable with people. I no longer ask people, “What did you say” or pretend to hear and just go along.. of course people knew, to my shame for not doing it sooner.
I would like to encourage people thinking of visiting Dove Hearing Center with my story, I encourage you to get the test and to try Dove Hearing Center, as they are truthful and reliable. They don’t just sell!

‘I Can Enjoy The Simple Sounds Of Nature And Music’
Hearing aids help me to understand and communicate better with others. It does take time to adjust to them but fully embracing the idea of wearing them is very beneficial.
I’m always concerned that in my case I can lose more of my hearing based on my medical history but Dove Hearing Center was able to answer all my questions and put my concerns to rest. I found them to be kind, patient, and knowledgeable
I’ve worn hearing aids for 13 years and they have a big impact on my life. I’m able to listen and communicate better. I can enjoy the simple sounds of nature and music.
I would advise people to get their hearing checked right away.

‘Don’t worry about the process just let Dove Hearing take you through the journey of discovery’
I was in disbelief. Not ME! I’m too young. I felt that only old people need hearing aids. I was concerned that if I DID need them, what would people do/think? How will I be treated? Will people “yell” so I can hear?
I was unsure whether hearing aids REALLY would help, and if they did, how much will they help? I wondered whether I could I afford them.
My first impressions of Dove Hearing Center were that Dustin was very impressive. He asked a lot of lifestyle questions before testing my ears. He explained what the testing would tell us and how he could best match my hearing needs to the BEST solution…and that not all people need the same solution (brand).
The difference hearing aids made to my life was like night and day! I couldn’t believe how much they helped…from day one. I was hearing sounds I’d forgotten (birds chirping, frogs and crickets, wind in the trees). I could understand my grandkids better…and, of course, I finally understood what my wife was saying in her soft spoken voice.
If you are thinking about making an appointment, do it! Don’t worry about the process just let Dove Hearing take you through the journey of discovery. You’ll be so glad you did!

‘Don’t waste any more time’
First time I used a phone was the moment I realized I had a hearing difficulty. I wanted in on the conversations happening around me, so I was pleased to book an appointment.
The staff at Dove Hearing Center are very positive, very nice people.
Now I can hear when I’m driving and when I can’t see someone’s face to put lip movement to sounds.
If you are thinking of making an appointment, I say go for it! Don’t waste any more time!

‘I Feel More Connected To My Surroundings’
I had met Dustin while he was in Boise at the Hearing Connection where I got my first hearing aids. I ‘followed’ him to Emmett because I had such confidence in him.
After my first visit I felt very positive, welcome, and received great service.
I feel more connected to my surroundings, better able to understand tv, computer and video. Because of my positive association with Dustin, I would highly recommend contacting him. He doesn’t try to ‘sell’ you hearing aids. He demonstrates how good it is to hear better.

‘It Can Change Your Life’
When we moved to Emmett Idaho, I was tested by Dove Hearing and the instruments I received were excellent and I have never known more technically knowledged or nicer people. They really care about their patients.
I was new to the area and Dove Hearing Center was recommended to me. When I walked in, the warmth and friendliness put me at ease, they are very friendly people and it’s a welcoming environment.
Hearing aids certainly improved the relationship with my wife. She was frustrated by having to repeat so much. The new aids have made it much easier to engage in conversation in groups because of new technology.
Improved hearing is a real blessing, whether with your family or the clerk at a check out counter. In my experience, Dove Hearing can bring that blessing to a reality.
It can change your life.

‘It Has Basically Brought Me Back To Life!’
I had previously been to another large chain hearing aid center and got nothing but a hard sell from them. I was concerned and that’s with the industry was like so I was very pleased when I walked in and discovered no pressure at all!
Dove Hearing Center are extremely professional and friendly people that wanted to help me!
I am now able to be engaged with my family and my customers like I haven’t been able to in the past! It has basically brought me back to life!
I would tell anyone thinking of visiting for an assessment to contact Dove hearing without hesitation and have their hearing checked.
