Wise consumers think in terms of value rather than price when it comes to buying new hearing aids because you can't put a price on being able to hear.

 

Clifford Pearson, owner of Hearing Services of Marin in San Rafael CA, has worn hearing aids for more than 50 years. So he understands what it's like to wear one and how to relate to those who have hearing problems and want to solve their need to hear as best they can. That personal experience, together with discussion of the problems of hearing loss, comprehensive testing and follow-up care, are why Hearing Services of Marin clients say that Hearing Services of Marin provides the best value in hearing aids.

Best Value in Hearing Aids

Often, when people start investigating ways to hear better, pricing or so-called price-shopping is their first point of reference. This isn't the best place to start because of the confusion about what is available in the marketplace, and the different price points for the different technologies that are available today. Many times, people buy hearing devices without even knowing if warranties, service and batteries are included.

Prospective buyers get better results and save money in the long term by looking at the value of the whole package, rather than focusing on the initial cost. At Hearing Services of Marin, they get personalized attention and experienced care that makes all the difference.

Every hearing aid purchased at Hearing Services of Marin comes with manufacturer warranties and loss/damage coverage, in-office services on the hearing devices, and batteries for three full years

Clifford Pearson at Hearing Services of Marin wants you to be completely satisfied. That's why he makes it a priority to find you the right device that fits your needs and lifestyles and works for you in being able to fit into or onto the ear and is easily adjustable for the client.

It's vital to deal with a hearing aid dispenser that understands the importance of hearing aid maintenance, especially because hearing aids get dirty with use. "Usual build up like moisture, outside agents such as dirt, and even your own body chemistry eventually prevent the hearing aid from working properly and keep you from hearing the best you can. By giving our clients routine maintenance, we can possibly prevent the 'big bill' and with that routine may prolong the life of the hearing device or devices," explained Clifford Pearson.

The Results You're Looking For

It's important to have adjustments made to a new hearing aid after having worn it for awhile in everyday situations. Clifford Pearson shared, "We give every client a personal evaluation and consultation. Then we fit them with their new hearing aid and ask them to wear it for a week and evaluate its performance in everyday life. When they come back in for their recheck, we discuss any problems or changes they've experienced and tweak the hearing aid based on their observations."

Clifford can offer more than the average hearing aid dispenser because of his own experience as a hearing aid user. "I have a personal perspective on what wearing hearing aids is all about," says Clifford, "and I am honest with my clients about the reality and the challenges."

Clifford tells clients what they can expect. "Hearing aids aren't replacements for normal hearing," he explains. "The knowledge has grown leaps and bounds, but there's still the reality that they have hearing loss and there's no way we can make it perfect. But we can solve most of our clients' problems through careful testing, accurate fittings and by choosing the right hearing devices for their needs."

32 Years in The Industry

Hearing Services of Marin clients get the benefit of Clifford's 32 years of experience in the business, including the 27 years he's been owner of Hearing Services of Marin in San Rafael. A patient named John says, "Cliff Pearson of Hearing Services of Marin has proven to be very experienced at what he does. He explained everything to me in detail. His positive gentle attitude made the use of hearing aids for me a very easy adaption."

Clifford Pearson was born and raised in San Francisco. Now, his family lives in Novato, just minutes from the Hearing Services of Marin offices in San Rafael CA. Clifford enjoys spending time with his family—including his young grandson, gardening and working on his house. As a dedicated community member and golfer, Clifford gives of his time by coaching junior golfers and high school athletes.

Clifford Pearson got his first hearing aid in 1957. Twenty years later, he accepted a job at that same hearing aid center. In 1983, he purchased Hearing Services of Marin in San Rafael CA and since then has been a trusted name in hearing aids throughout Marin County.

"People depend on their hearing, and there's a trust there when you help someone regain what they've lost," Clifford says. "People walk in with a frown because they can't hear well and leave here smiling because they're able to hear the things they missed. We give our clients a real value when it comes to their hearing aids. By doing that, we're able to help them hear better and get through life easier, and that's our goal."

Hearing Services of Marin Capability Reviews

    "Clifford has really gone above and beyond in taking care of me and my hearing aid needs. I've always gone to him and I wouldn't think of going anywhere else. He's personable and finds me the best solutions that will work for me. He gets me a good deal on hearing aids, makes sure all the fittings work and asks if I need batteries. I feel like he's always looking out for my best interest."

    —Ellian


     

    "I have had moderate hearing loss all my life. Throughout my early school-age years, I was fitted for and wore different types of analog hearing aids. I experienced embarrassing episodes of feedback, which drew far too much attention, and I found that the aids only really succeeded at amplifying all of the distracting noise of a classroom. By the time I was a pre-teen, I had given up on hearing aids altogether.

    Fast forward about 20 years. I thought I was functioning okay with my hearing loss, until my first daughter turned two. She was a curious toddler and was constantly pointing out the sounds she was hearing—Mommy, listen to that bird, listen to the wind!

    I couldn't hear any of it! I was really missing out!

    I swallowed my pride and went to visit Clifford Pearson at Hearing Services of Marin. I found Clifford to be an incredibly patient and knowledgeable individual. He helped me select a digital hearing aid that far surpassed the performance of the hearing aids from my youth (no feedback!). He fine-tuned the programming to fit my own needs and paid attention to my concerns about vanity. No one can tell I am wearing them, unless I choose to tell them.

    I can finally share whispered secrets with my children, and will forever be grateful to Clifford for the role he played in enriching my life."

    —Jennifer Baldwin 


     

    "Typical with most seniors, I tried to avoid getting hearing aids. As an adult male, I felt embarrassed to use them despite my wife complaining about my hearing loss. I could not admit to myself that I needed them.

    I contacted Cliff Pearson of Hearing Services of Marin about my problem. After undergoing a hearing test, Cliff analyzed my hearing loss and recommended a specific pair of hearing aids. These he fitted to me and my hearing trial began. Cliff made me feel so at ease that my imagined trauma of using hearing aids vanished. I had a seamless transition to using them and they have proven a wonderful advantage to me as I could now enjoy TV, radio, and normal conversations that I had previously been unable to correctly hear and understand.

    Cliff Pearson of Hearing Services of Marin has proven to be a very experienced hearing health care provider. He explained everything to me in detail. His positive, gentile attitude made the use of hearing aids for me a very easy adaptation."

    —John Mani, M.D. 


    "To Whom It May Concern:

    I have been a client of Hearing Services of Marin for 19 years. Clifford Pearson and his staff have always been courteous and ready to meet my needs. The office staff has accommodated my appointment schedule. Clifford's professional knowledge of what my needs are has made it comfortable for me to continue getting hearing tests, fitting me for appropriate hearing devices that allow me to maintain a continued hearing level, and follow up care and service between appointments.

    I cannot think of going to anyone else for my hearing needs after 19 years of care and service from Clifford Pearson. I continue to recommend him to anyone with a hearing problem. I know Clifford Pearson can help with their hearing problem."

    Sincerely,

    Dino Lucchesi

     


    "Five years ago, I was experiencing noticeable hearing loss. I made an appointment at Hearing Services of Marin and met Clifford Pearson. Clifford's professionalism and hearing loss knowledge was evident from the initial hearing evaluation est to the selection of the hearing aid device. Clifford's guidance assisted me in making the transition to being a full-time hearing aid wearer with confidence and ease."
