I highly recommend Applied Hearing Solutions, Dr Cliff Olson, and the entire staff. Together they absolutely provide the most exceptional and professional service that I have ever experienced! Their ability to work together providing the best outcomes for me is most impressive.This level of service is awesome, particularly considering that I live out of the area. I honestly cannot think of anything that I could improve in their operations. From my initial consultation, to the thorough testing and evaluations, and right through to the latest hearing aid maintenance, the products and services have been truly exceptional!If you are in the process of selecting a hearing care professional, please consider Applied Hearing Solutions. After researching and investigating, I think you will find, as I have, that they are the very best!

In the 30+ years that I have worn hearing aids going to Applied Hearing Solutions was the best decision I have ever made. All though it is a 3 hour journey to their office in Phoenix, to see Cliff Olson, has been worth the time. I received the most thorough exam that I have ever received and the most informative information about my type if hearing loss. The receptionist is very nice, the office immaculately clean and wait times short. You never feel rushed and they take time to answer all your questions and concerns.

I have a very unusual hearing loss that has caused me issues for years. Ive been to several doctors previously that sold me aids and sent me on my way. That old familiar ruse in the hearing business, thats happened to so many of us. Dr. Cliff is the exception to this normal routine. He took the time and had the expertise to actually identify and treat my issue successfully. Dr. Cliff is a credit to the audiology business and his dedication to his patients and his profession clearly shows with the end result. He treated my hearing loss and I couldnt be happier with the end result. Hes a cut above what most of us thought normal and I highly recommend him and his staff to help treat your hearing loss.

I became aware of Dr. Olson from his Video presentations on YouTube. I am 81 years old, and as a minister I have spent a lot of time with older people and have not know of many successful experiences with hearing aids. Dr. Olsons best practices in testing, installing, and fine tuning hearing aids really do work. The change for me really surprised me. I really didnt realize how much I was missing, (most good, and some not so good). I put them in every morning when I wake up, and I take them out before I go to bed or take a shower. I am generally not aware I have the in my ears unless the foolish mask strings catch one. I have been using them for close to 2 months, and I have NO COMPLAINTS. Dr. Olson, is friendly, knowledgeable, and the total experience has been very enjoyable.I must add that the staff like their boss are very friendly, well organized, and peasant to do business with. My wife and I stay very busy, we travel a lot, we communicate verbally a lot in ministry both in person and live streaming. I would and do highly endorse Dr. Olson and his methods and the pleasure of wearing hearing aids that he tested for me, setup for me, and fine tuned to my hearing loss.Robert Grove

I have been hearing-challenged for several years. I used a hearing aid office in Tucson and received a set of hearing aids that were essentially earplugs. I was so very disappointed and frustrated. While surfing through Youtube searching for information on different hearing aids I ran across Dr Cliff Olsons videos. Listening to several I became convinced that Dr. Olson had superior knowledge and understanding of the hearing-challenged. A year ago he changed my life with hearing aids that transformed my world from being a somewhat deaf bystander to an active participant in life. There is not a more thorough audiologist who cares more for his patients that Dr. Cliff Olson.

Review №13

I am 54 years old and I have hearing loss from working around loud machinery most of my life. Like most people with hearing loss, I put off seeking help for a number of years. When I did start to consider hearing aids, I did some research online and there were so many misleading websites and false reviews paid for by some of the less reputable companies that I was becoming very skeptical. Thankfully I stumbled across Dr. Olsons YouTube channel. I watched a number of his videos and it quickly became evident to me that he was both highly knowledgeable and highly qualified. His videos walked me through his methodology and philosophy on treating hearing loss. His videos also gave me a thorough knowledge of the various hearing aid types, manufacturers and models. I decided to make an appointment to have my hearing tested by Dr. Olson and we spent a great deal of time testing my hearing through a couple of different methods. Upon completion, Dr. Olson presented me with multiple options pertaining to hearing aid hardware. After educating me on the pros and cons of each model and type, I was able to make an informed decision on what would work best for me. I have had my hearing aids now for about 6 months and I can honestly say that I wish I had pursued getting them sooner. What makes Dr. Olson exceptional is that he properly and thoroughly educates people about every aspect of treating hearing loss. When a consumer is educated and informed and they are given good options to choose from, they will almost always make the right decision. Dr. Olson doesnt sell you anything, he educates you and lets you decide. I trusted my hearing loss treatment to him and I will continue to do so without reservation going forward. I highly recommend you make an appointment and get to know him.

I came across Dr Olson through research and ultimately his Utube channel (which I would urge anyone to listen to. I had an in the ear hearing aid from Costco that was ready for replacement. I read about Dr Olsons belief in best practices and he truly demonstrates that. He truly tries his best to prescribe the proper device and to get it right for you. He never rushes an appointment and takes the time and effort to satisfy you. His office staff is friendly and accomodating and is a big part of the experience with Cliff. You will probably pay more than that of Costco, but it is definitely worth it.

Review №19

Before seeing Dr. Cliff Olson I had been to several audiologists with minimal success. With the hearing aids I received from them I rarely wore them as I felt they didnt provide any improvement in my hearing. After the first visit with Dr. Olson and with him using best practices I immediately noticed the improvement in my hearing with the new hearing aids I received. I started to hear sounds that I hadnt heard in years. When leaving his office for the first time I could hear my car direction signal for the first time in a long while. And this was just one of the sounds I could now hear. I now where my hearing aids constantly which makes my wife and me very happy.

This is my sons account but my testimony.I can tell you that Dr. Cliff is one of a kind he truly cares about his clients. I have been to many other Audiologists and they put the hearing aid in and program it to what the computer says and that is it I have been taken for many $$$ I have heard dont expect to understand more than 5 words out of 10 being said, 3500+ 1 hearing aid I did not keep. This is what the computer says you need !!! Dr. Cliff listens to what you tell him he goes above and beyond to help you hear. I now can actually carry on a conversation with other people I have only one ear that works and it only has 35% word understanding but can tell you I my understanding now is phenomenal I dont even have to look at some of the people to see what they are saying.Dr. Cliff has a God given Gift. Compassion and drive to help people coupe and thrive with their hearing loss. I am so thankful that I have found someone that TRULY CARESThank you so much Dr. CliffShawn Sigdestad

Youve already done the research and have 3 - 5 of the major hearing aid manufacturers selected. With little difficulty you can find a hearing aid retailer on just about every corner in the Phoenix market. Which one? Whats the difference?In the hearing devices, not much. The real difference is in the quality of the doctors and staff. Even the big box stores can dispense hearing devices.I wanted new hearing aids with all the new advances, AND a doctor that understood the differences and would take the time to explain to me, and adjust to my specific hearing needs.I found that with Applied Hearing Solutions. I just recently purchased my second set with the help of Dr. Bryce Altus. He melds all the high tech equipment with a calm, intelligent explanation that I can understand. Always patient, plenty of time to ask questions, and opinions.Admin staff? Extremely professional, gracious, and excited that youre there. They never fail to text and telephone reminders prior to every appointment.Dont waste you time, call Applied Hearing Solutions and get treated like a paying customer!

Dr. Olson has provided the best medical care for my hearing problem that surpasses any that I have received in the entire medical field. He listens and is attentive to specific issues and has the up to date technology to adjust for my personal issues. Nothing is overlooked. The examinations are the most thorough anywhere and with the latest technology that allowed many of my issues to be addressed for the first time! I tried the Costco low cost route originally and was grateful to discover Dr. Olson later which made all the difference. The extra cost is worth every penny! The old adage you get what you pay for holds very true here.

Great service. A very professional organization. The follow up and fine tuning was excellent. Many folks my age go to other docs or Costco, get a test, and get a hearing aid, and never hear from their provider again. Not here, continuous follow up From Dr. Altus and his team. They are not happy until the customer is happy. Can’t say enough good about Dr Altus and his team!!!

I decided to see them for a CROS hearing aid system after getting a new CiC hearing aid last November that did little to nothing to help me hear on my left side. I saw a YouTube video about single-sided hearing loss with Dr. Cliff Olsen. I booked an appointment with his partner, Dr. Bryce Altus. Wow! What a difference going to someone who has your best interest in hearing health rather than someone who just wants to sell you something. I get regular communication from Applied Hearing Solutions. They listen to my needs and concerns. They also all wear clear-panel face masks to allow for the added support of lip reading! I feel like part of a family here! Don’t delay! Book an appointment with them today if you have hearing loss. I highly recommend them. I wish I hadn’t bothered with the other place.

Review №39

Dont waste your time and money buying just amplifiers or aids through the mail and hoping theyll work. Although using Applied Hearing is not the cheapest way to go, its the very best way of getting high quality aids and making sure they work at their maximum benefit. My previous Audiologist didnt spend half the time as Dr. Altus did with me, nor did they do all the critical testing required to fine-tune the aids, which has made all the difference. Everyone at this office is friendly and considerate, and Dr. Altus raises the bar on personal and professional service. My hearing has never been better... in fact, Applied Hearing has improved my hearing to the point I think I now hear better than my wife or friends!

What an experience. After looking at healthgrades.com and seeing some great reviews for Dr. Cliff Olson, I called and spoke to Christine, who is both equally nice and incredible at her job. Im a partial hearing loss 33 year old who hasnt worn hearing aids since I was about 10 - 12 years old. I was relearning the process as an adult this time around, and I really cant say what I would have had them do differently. From the arrival to my entire experience with Dr. Olson, it was a 6 out of 5 star experience. You can see he is passionate about what he does and that he truly enjoys it. He speaks loud and clear, he is authentic and patient, and he listens. If youre looking for an audiologist and a company that feels like extended family, stop what you are doing and book an appointment today. They are worth the wait.

I searched hearing aids on Google and came across Applied Hearing Solutions—and the science and passion behind it all sold me! It took about two years before my daughter made the call for me as a Christmas surprise, and I was elated to finally be getting the opportunity to have a consultation.I will never regret choosing Dr. Bryce Altus! He is very patient and knowledgeable, and explains the process and next steps very well. He gave me the information I needed to make an informed decision; one I could make with complete confidence that I would receive (and have received) the best care. He was phenomenal from start to finish, and exceeds all my expectations.I also appreciate the technology they invest in to give the highest chance for success, along with great tutorials. One of my major concerns when choosing a hearing aid/specialist was whether or not I would actually get the product and support I needed; however, with Dr. Altus and Applied Hearing Solutions, all my fears were put to rest. Everyone, even the front desk staff are friendly, accommodating, and make the entire experience wonderful.I would highly recommend this team if you want the best results. Thank you, Dr. Altus!

After 12 years and two different sets of hearing aids, I can finally hear again thanks to Dr. Cliff Olson.I’m from Ohio and we travel to Arizona in February. After doing extensive research for help with my hearing, I came across videos by Dr. Olson. I was immediately impressed by his passion to help individuals with hearing issues. I could see he had a wealth of knowledge he could share with those wanting to become a more informed consumer.The best practices he follows is just one example of how he determines the best hearing aid match for each individual patient and their specific needs. We visited Applied Hearing Solutions in Phoenix to see Dr. Olson. He met with my wife and me and through a series of questions and answers he was able to determine how best to meet my specific hearing needs. He then completed extensive hearing tests and ear measurements and recommended custom ear molds to give me the best chance for hearing clarity.I returned for my fitting of the Phonak Audio P90 hearing aids and could not believe the difference. Dr. Olson had tuned them to my prescription, and I could hear clearly again. Things I had not heard in a long time. I could hear the turn signal and the radio without blasting my wife out of the car.After returning to Ohio, Dr. Olson was able to make fine tuning adjustments virtually. It has been an adjustment for me, hearing sounds around our house that I’ve not heard in years. It is great to no longer need to use a Bluetooth device to hear the TV. My wife and I can now watch TV together at a comfortable volume. I am so pleased to be hearing the birds sing again and to clearly hear my friends and family without asking them to repeat things over and over again.If you are in search on an Audiologist who has the passion and drive to help others with their hearing problems, as well as the knowledge to get his patients in the right product for the best outcome, I highly recommend Dr. Olson.I appreciate the time he spent with me to get me where I needed to be. Thank you, Dr. Olson and staff, for your friendly, professional service.Walt Mc

As one who generally does not write reviews, ! change my policy to write about this exceptional experience with Dr. Cliff. I tried to tolerate my hearing loss for years (many years according to my wife) but it became intolerable with our need for masks. I tried several online hearing aids(waste of time and money) and local hearing professionals which I thought were satisfactory until I watched Dr Cliff videos. So impressed that it was worth the 300 mile drive from Las Vegas to his office for initial visit then two more times for followup. Now we do remote visits. Unbelievable. Im hearing things Ive never heard before and still finding new things every day that I never knew I was missing.I could go on much longer and may do so another time . As a physician myself, I must say Dr Cliff is the perfect combination of professionalism and easy-going comfortable style- a unique experience in the medical field these days.

Thanks to the strong endorsement by a UK specialist in Audiology I made an appointment with - and became a grateful and happy patient of - Dr Cliff Olson about 6 months ago.I happened to read a booklet published in England “The little book of hearing aids”(full of practical information on hearing loss and hearing aids).The author is a well-known UK Audiology researcher and practitioner, Geoffrey Cooling, who (on page 83, edition 2019)complimented “Dr Cliff Olson AuD, a rising star in US Audiology” with his outstanding evaluation and treatment -as well as education - of his patients.Though I had essentially given up all hope (after 12 years, 3 Audiologists and 4 “new and improved” hearing aids) on ever again being able to understand conversations on the phone or in noisy environments, I could not ignore this unique recommendation of a US Audiologist by a British colleague.After the initial meticulous evaluation followed by two more appointments :no problem at all with phone calls and major improvement in noisy environments.I enjoy again talks, lectures and movies on the internet, podcasts etc. and am not reluctant any more to converse with others now I can understand them !Listening to music : delightful again !Dr Cliff Olsons’ expertise has made a major impact on my enjoyment of life !

I have been hearing impaired for over 40 years. Throughout those years I have been seen by many audiologist and have bought hearing aides with different manufactures using their suggestions.Since I have been seeing Dr. Olson at Applied Hearing Solution I have been beyond impressed. He has been able to balance my equipment so hearing and speech clarity is always there. I don’t struggle trying to hear or join in conversation as in the past. I have a lot more confidence when I socialize and shop.I have an 80% loss of hearing so with his help I am able to adjust my aides to accommodate many of the places I visit from the theaters, restaurants to using my Bluetooth mold for all my TV viewing and phone conversations. It is not just the hearing aides it is his expert adjustments of my hearing aides to my lifestyles that separates him from other audiologist in the field.

Review №67

In a nutshell, Dr. Cliff Olson changed my life for the better!I found Dr.Cliff via a web search for top rated audiologists in the Phoenix area and was thoroughly impressed by his reviews and watched many of his YouTube videos before deciding I needed to make an appointment with him. His practice is super busy and so it was a few weeks before they could get me in to see him. It was worth the wait! My first appointment and test was 90 minutes long and seriously the most comprehensive evaluation Ive ever had done on my hearing. Id never had any hearing professional spend so much time with me or perform a Real Ear Measurement test. He listened to my concerns and even tweaked the programming on the old set of hearing aids I came in wearing as they were not programmed correctly to my prescription at all. He did NOT try to sell me new hearing aids or anything, which was both shocking and refreshing. This appointment was literally just an evaluation and him taking the time to explain my hearing loss to me in detail and listen to my concerns. Dr. Olson was very upfront by telling me that if I wanted him to treat my hearing loss it was going to require a time commitment on my part as several appointments would be required to fine tune my hearing aids and the programming. I immediately said yes. His office is 70+ miles from home but after finding an audiologist as good as Dr.Olson, I didnt care, it was worth it! I decided to upgrade my hearing aids on my own, with no pressure from him whatsoever after some time under his care. He gave me several options to choose from that fit my needs and lifestyle best and did NOT push the most expensive models or those with features I didnt need or wouldnt use. The other hearing professionals I went to before Dr.Olson spent maybe 10 minutes on treatment and the rest of the appointment in salesman mode trying to close a sale.If youre looking for an ethical, professional and amazing audiologist who truly cares about his patients, Dr. Cliff Olson is your man. Im hearing better than I have in years thanks to him taking the time to get my prescription right. My quality of life has improved in more ways than I have time or room to mention as a result of being under his care. A few other things worth mentioning in this review are listed below. Im so grateful to have found Dr. Olson and recommend him to anyone who has problems with their hearing.The office runs a tight ship when it comes to appointments. They respect your time as a patient by seeing you on time, every time. Ive never had to wait in the lobby after my scheduled appointment time to be called in.The office, treatment rooms and restrooms are always spotless and neat!The support staff is very friendly and personable. Everyone at Applied Hearing Solutions treats you as a valued guest, rather than just a number.Invoices for treatment or products are fully transparent and easy to read with a detailed break down of the charges. The service plans offered are top notch, covering follow up visits, repairs, supplies, loaner aids if yours are sent for repair, etc.Dr. Olson makes himself accessible to his patients 24/7. If you have a question or concern about something, Dr. Olson will respond to emails and phone messages promptly, without you having to wait for an appointment. Virtual and in office appointments are available.I also wanted to give a shout out to Dr.Lacy Le at Applied Hearing Solutions. Ive seen her a few times and was left impressed. The level and quality of care she provided was top notch too. You could tell Dr.Olson takes special care when hand picking great audiologists to join his practice.

I drive from East Mesa to see Dr. Olson. Its worth the drive because Dr. Olson truly works to get you not a good fit but a great fit. Watch his YouTube videos and you see that he does his homework. Hes a one man shop but thats a benefit in getting personalized care. Ive been to three audiologists this year and wasnt happy until I found Dr. O.

Basically, its the only hearing aid near my home. Its a little strange with social distancing and masks, but doable . Good quality repairs at a reasonable price.

Dr. Olson is extremely easy to work with and takes the extra steps to ensure you get the hearing assistance you need. Every step of the hearing aid process is explained and he works diligently to get the exact fit and prescription you need. I would recommend him to anyone having difficulty hearing. My life is much easier since getting my hearing aids.

Working with Dr. Olson has greatly improved my satisfaction and comfort using hearing aids. His careful, precise ADJUSTMENT of good quality basic hearing aids has made a world of difference for me. I am again able to understand a broad range of the spoken word--both live and broadcast; and I enjoy more music.In addition, Dr. Olso is very pleasant, informative, and aware of the latest technology that can enhance ones auditory experiences. I enthusiastically recommend Dr. Olsons service to all who have any type of hearing impairment.Sarah KingAnthem, AZ

This guy is awesome! After using four other audiologists over the past 20 years I have finally found one that is more interested in helping me than in selling me. Cliffs attention to detail was astounding. Although I dont live here year round, he will be my go to hearing specialist from now on. Thanks doc!

Dr. Cliff is utterly amazing, using all the best techniques for taking care of his patients. And his online YouTube videos take it to a higher level with his ongoing consumer education. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone else!

After my initial consultation, I had my hearing retested to determine if my hearing aid was still giving me the best possible performance. Dr. Olson showed me the data and explained where I had had some degradation. He spent the balance of my visit sharing his knowledge on hearing loss, what I could expect in the future, and why investing in new aids would not benefit me now. Hes a very knowledgeable and honest doctor!

From the get go, I felt confident that Clifford Olson would help me solve my hearing challenges. Hes a concerned listener and a persistent problem solver...a true professional on all accounts. He helped me work through all the little issues and I am so glad he was nearby too. I have been telling my friends about his excellent service and encouraging them to deal with their hearing issues sooner than later.

This review is based on the free and amazing help I received by watching Dr. Olson’s wonderful YouTube videos on real ear testing. After years of wearing hearing aids and never having a proper real ear measurement done on my aids to maximize audibility I got it done because of his good advice and explanation. Now I am hearing sounds at a whole new level. Music is wonderful again. Sound is rich again and I can understand better. I can’t thank this guy enough. For 30 years my aids have been factory set and algorithm adjusted with software without this critical first step completed. Thank you so much good doctor. Semper Fi!

Let me say right at start that Dr Cliff is a great audiologist and a great person who is really concerned about the hard of hearing community improving their life experience. I look forward to my appointments because its actually fun and enlightening, If you are anywhere near Phoenix make an appointment!I had Starkey aids for about 3 years and was never really pleased with my experience even after many adjustments. I had asked the audiologist about Real Ear Measurement and was told it was unnecessary because the computer software would make the best match, What did I know?I happened to see one of Dr Cliffs videos and proceeded to binge view the rest of them. Long story short, got an appointment and found out my aids, especially my left ear, was nowhere near matching my audiogram.I was fitted with Phonak Marvel 90s and couldnt be happier except for the infamous MyPhonak app. Great aids but crappy app. Dont let the app stop you from considering Phonak aids or any aids, make your way to Dr Cliffs office.

After an extensive search for help with my hearing difficulties, including seeing various Audiologists and Hearing Instrument Specialists, I have been completely satisfied with Dr Clifford Olson and his Associates at AHS.

Although I am not a fan of social media, I do know an outstanding health care provider I want to share. To be sure, Dr. Cliff Olson, Audiologist in Anthem, Arizona is one of the best! I am the spouse of one of his patients, and we drive over an hour to make each appointment with Dr. Olson. On several occasions, I have observed Dr. Olson to be a friendly, caring, as well as a consummate professional who took the time to test and diagnose ny husbands hearing loss. At each visit, Dr. Olson was very knowledgeable and understanding of my husbands needs for a multi-functioning hearing aid. Dr. Olson also took the time to coordinate our health insurance to cover the costs. As a result, my husband has greatly improved hearing and enjoys hearing the world around him...I want to be clear...Dr. Cliff Olson is an oustanding Audiologist!

Dr. Clifford Olson has changed my husbands and my world. We were unaware how we both needed hearing aids. Now we can not only hear each other and others better but watch TV without extra blue tooth speakers. Dr Olson is so knowledgeable and current with his helpful videos. He is patient and kind. We wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Do yourself a favor and see Dr. Olson! Besides being incredibly knowledgeable and charismatic, he truly cares about the results. Hes not just interested in whether you need hearing aids or not (after testing, he determined I did not, confirming hes not just trying to sell something), but more importantly, the concerns associated with not being able to hear the way youd like to. In our case, I dont think my husband realized how much he couldnt hear, and if youre not hearing everything, you may be missing very important tid bits of life. You begin to not be as engaged in conversations, or you may hesitate to go places with others, because you dont want to seem like youre not getting whats being said. Honestly, our lives have changed since my husband got his hearing aids. He is still amazed every day at what he can hear that he didnt hear before. Hearing aids today have come a long way since the ones our parents had! Thank you, Cliff!!

I went to see Dr. Cliff to see if he could help me manage my tinnitus I got after an ear infection. I had no hearing loss so he wasn’t able to help but after my visit and his hight tech hearing test I learned that my tinnitus wasn’t that high and bad. His office staff was great and even though I was a bit early they saw me fast. Dr. Cliff is very knowledgeable and respectful in what he does. He answered every question me and my husband had and never felt rushed.

After poor experiences with two previous audiologists, I set out on the internet to find someone who would provide better service. I stumbled upon the YouTube posts from Dr. Cliff. As impressive and informative as he is in those videos, he is even better in person. During my first visit, he took the time to thoroughly explain my hearing difficulties after conducting a battery of hearing tests. Unlike the previous two docs, he was spot on with his diagnosis and prescription. He fitted me with the devices I wanted and needed and tested me even further to ensure they worked in multiple environments. Thanx to Dr. Cliff, I went from not wearing my devices on occasion to wearing them 14 + hours a day. And while my previous doc was unable to find any devices that would be covered in full by my insurance, Dr. Cliff found and prescribed them with zero copays. Kudos to who I believe is the best audiologist in the country. Not just for his outstanding customer service and his informative videos, but for his superior effort to go the extra mile with his customers without breaking the bank. He is the gold standard by which other audiologists should be measured.

Dr. Olson is the only Audiologist that I have worked with who understands how to effectively use Bluetooth-enabled hearing aids and can customize smartphone apps which are supported by various hearing aid manufacturers. Cliff is an emphatic and supportive professional that has exceeded my expectations. His efficient use of web-supported scheduling and appointment-reminder applications ensure consistent contact and support. He is one of only a few medical professionals that I recommend to friends without hesitation.

Thank you Dr Cliff, for all your information. I live too far away from Anthem AZ to come see you for my hearing loss, but based on all your videos, you would be my first choice. I lost count how many videos of yours I have watched. The result is that I searched for a local doctor of audiology who has a real ear measurement device. That was the start. I am very impressed with my audiologist (in Provo UT). We had several discussions in which your name came up. And may I say that he also is impressed with your work. I tried out 3 different hearing aids over a period of 5 weeks. In the end I purchased the Widex Evoke. Its a different world with hearing aids. I wish I could say they are the perfect answer to my hearing loss issues, but alas, I have discovered that hearing aids in general are not perfect. While they are not the answer for every environment, in the end I have to say, they help in most instances. Keep up the good work! Thank you again, Jonas Thomander, Manti UT.

I have a very good insurance benefit. Applied Hearing Solutions assured me on several occasions that they take my Aetna insurance.I booked an appointment and Olson charged me $102 for a hearing test and tech consultation. Only THEN did he tell me that I would have to pay them the $4,000 insurance benefit DIRECTLY FROM MY OWN POCKET and that they would NOT bill Aetna directly. So, in truth Applied Hearing would not use my insurance benefit.I called Aetna twice and discussed the billing procedure with them. Both times Aetna stated Applied Hearing could bill Aetna directly if they wanted to. During the second conversation with Aetna (which was recorded and Applied Hearing was part of the 3-way conversation) the Aetna representative told Olson’s assistant that she could bill Aetna directly if she wanted to. She declined to do so.While Olson seems to be competent in his field his “bait and switch” tactics are dirty.regarding your reply:Prior to our appointment, I was told by your assistant that I would have to pay for the hearing test and tech consultation. I accepted that and made the appointment. Only AFTER the tech consultation (which I think you did well) did you tell me I would have to pay the $4,000 Aetna benefit with my own money. On several previous occasions I had explained to your assistant that I have a $4,000 insurance benefit and that I am interested in obtaining a new pair of hearing aids from you and your business.Here are the facts:--Your exact business address is listed as In-Network on Aetnas website. The name associated with that business is Arizona HearCare Network.--Applied Hearing Solutions address is listed on Arizona HearCare Networks website as the same address on Aetnas In-Network providers referred to above.--I had another conversation with Aetna today wherein they told me that while you may be contracted with Amplifon you are NOT Aetna In-Network.(The above facts mislead patients in my view)--The Aetna representative said audiologists are not forced to contract with Amplifon and that billing Aetna directly is within you discretion.--At one point I talked with your assistant and told her that Aetna would allow you to bill them directly. She said she would ask you if you wanted to do it that way.

Life changing experience. - I rarely write reviews, so please bear with me.After over 15 years of noise exposure and improper hearing protection, my family and I decided to begin the process of learning about the treatment options available for hearing loss. My wife was tired of having to repeat herself and at work I noticed I would guess words I missed to avoid asking co-workers and clients to repeat themselves.After a few internet searches, I came across Dr. Cliff Olson’s Youtube channel. In his videos he seemed approachable, knowledgeable, and most important to me, passionate about his field.I live in Arizona and about 50 miles from his clinic, Applied Hearing Solutions. I reached out to schedule an appointment. The initial consultation was made within the same week. The staff was courteous, the clinic spotless, and Dr. Olson was even more enthusiastic than on Youtube.I gave him my full trust and freedom to address my hearing loss with the best available treatment option for my specific hearing loss. He recommended a top brand hearing aid with extensive programing options to address my asymmetric hearing loss. He maticulasly tuned and tweeked my hearing aids during 3 sessions, each 2 weeks apart until I reached my prescription, explaining the process at every step of the treatment.I went from guessing words to hearing the turn signal in my car, the belt buckle scraping across my shirt, the beeping sound the copy machine makes across the office when low on paper, and even my ankle pop. I was missing a lot of sounds. The worse part is I had no idea. Honestly, I am feel blessed to have come across Dr. Olson and his staff.I hope my experience helps someone hear what they have been missing.
