The Staff was very nice, we got the Hard sell impression, when we asked for a copy of one of the contracts Tracy acted like it was the first time she heard the question, then the nice lady at the front desk couldnt find one, $187.00 a month to rent these devices for four years is very expensive. We have decided to look for other alternatives for treatment.

How can I write a review in a few words, when I could write a book about how my life has changed since finding Dr. Darrow and his Hearing and Brain Center? His book “Living in Isolation” described my life perfectly. It is going on three years since my first appointment when I walked in feeling apprehensive, but hopeful, with my usual answers to questions, “excuse me?” “I’m sorry?” Could you speak up?” and walked out an hour later hearing sounds I had not heard in years. The computer key board makes noise? The newspaper crinkles? Rain! I love the sound of soft summer rain. And wind! Chirping birds, rustling leaves, clocks ticking – even creaking floor boards and squeaky doors are a heavenly sound. The best thing is that now I can understand the person who I always thought was mumbling, and the other one who always spoke in whispers, or too fast. Our big family gatherings are once again joyful now that I can follow and join in several conversations going on at once. I could go on and on.Every person you will meet at the Center is pleasant, professional, and most importantly kind. I am eternally grateful to Dr. Darrow and his wonderful staff for giving me my life back. You just can’t put a price on that.

I had my first hearing assessment and cognitive work up this week at Hearing and Brain Center in Worcester. I learned so much from Tracy the audiologist and was so impressed by their extensive testing and research. I felt comfortable through my entire exam and appreciated all their knowledge about a subject I clearly did not know enough about. I am referring my parents especially to get tested and am so happy I took the plunge and got evaluated. Fantastic group of professionals. Thank you

Very disappointed moved to a new city and have not been able to get the service transferred. Running out of batteries. I pay monthly which is okay if I really got what I signed up for. Can’t get a call back. Pandemic notwithstanding I should be able to get some help with this.

Hearing and Brain Center was life changing for our Mom!We brought our 90 year old Mom, who still denied having hearing loss, for an evaluation. Our family was noticing changes and could tell that she wasn’t going out as much and was isolating herself at home. We were beginning to be concerned with dementia setting in! Dr Darrow and staff changed her life for the better!We couldn’t be happier after her treatment began. Within the first week she began going to dinner with friends again and playing cards with her social group every evening! You can’t believe what a difference it made, it was honestly life changing! We recommend anyone who is seeing changes in their loved ones daily habits to first be evaluated at Hearing and Brain Center. What a relief it was to know that being tested and treated for hearing loss wasn’t our biggest fear of dementia but simply hearing loss which is 100% treatable!To Dr Keith, Dr Tracy and all the staff...THANK YOU for MAKING A DIFFERENCE and going above and beyond in treating our Mom with special care! We are forever grateful and a patient for life!

A month after my hearing analysis and obtaining neurology devices, life has gotten a little easier. No more straining to hear in a conference room, graduation ceremony, or conversation in a car. No more saying WHAT ?. Able to be at ease while hearing and remember discussions. Devices are very comfortable and people do not realize I am wearing them. I wish I had done this a lot earlier. I recommend Hearing and Brain Centers of New England to all that may have or think they may a hearing issue. You owe it to you, your family and friends.

This office is amazing! From the office staff to the audiologists, everyone is professional and courteous. I’ve had questions and concerns and I’m able to get answers by phone or a quick appointment to stop in. Would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for an audiologist in the central MA area. Easy payment plan that includes check ins, batteries, and other hearing aid accessories.

Hearing loss has definitely taken a toll on my daily life and I knew something needed to be done. I was fortunate to come to Hearing & Brain Centers where the staff provided me with knowledge, support, and treatment. Starting treatment with Jordan has changed my life. Jordan did an amazing job highlighting the risk of dementia associated with hearing loss, knowing she had my best interest in mind. It was important for me to learn that treating hearing loss is not just for hearing health, but brain health. We evaluated my family history along with my loss and she began treatment immediately with every question answered. Jordan is enthusiastic, passionate, and knowledgeable about treating hearing loss and was able to give me the individualized treatment that you can’t find anywhere else!

Dr. Darrow and his staff are amazing! Dr. Darrow knows his stuff! He and his staff are great. So many hearing places out there just sell hearing amplifiers, but not the Hearing and Brain Center. Dr. Darrow and his staff help with how I hear with my brain, not my ears. If you have tinnitus or hearing loss, you need to go to Hearing and Brain Centers of New England! The only practice around with a Clarity Guarantee! You will not be disappointed.

Jordan first contact with exceptional customer service. Monique and Kathy are the first smile you encounter and they genuinely welcome you with open arms. Allison performed excellent hearing test and accuracy is her specialty. Dr. Darrow and his newest neurotechnology devices provided the ability for me to sing on pitch with the piano. My husband and I now enjoy a new and quality of musical life together. Yeah!!! Dr. Darrow is for real a caring, compassionate professional.

They are able to pinpoint your hearing loss and how to correct it. Tracy my audiologist is exceptional and very professional. She has made this whole experience very easy to understand! Couldn’t be happier with my decision to choose Hearing and Brain Centers to treat my hearing loss!!!

The Feb 5th presentation of The Neuroscience of Tinnitus, Dementia, and Impact of Hearing Loss on Your Brain Health was extremely informative and eye opening. My boy friend has had tinnitus for over 40 years and it was very enlightening to hear Dr. Darrow and understand that damage is done but perhaps he can start getting some relief and preserve the deterioration of brain health. We look forward to the appointment in March. Thank you.

I highly recommend hearing his lecture. He gave the audience members such good insight as to how the brain and hearing work together and what happens when they stop working together. If he comes to your area, please sign up to hear his lecture (no cost).If you wear glasses because you need them; well, you need hearing aids because you cant hear (yes, I realize the cost) but the cost of NOT having them is detrimental to your health.

Buyer beware. Dr. Darrow and the crew are using fear tactics to over-sell hearing aids. And they even have easy payment plans. Just like used car salesmen. Get a second opinion! Dont get spooked by their message. This crew knows how to sell very well and they charge a lot. The website is over-the-top hard sell. I recommend other audiologists.

I finally came to terms with my hearing loss after visiting a number of hearing centers. I was very impressed with the service I received at the the Hearing Balance Center compared to other offices that I visited. My initial visit went very well, they completed a comprehensive hearing test and then let me try on some of the hearing aids. As soon as I put them on, I started to cry as I realized how much I WAS NOT HEARING.... I would highly recommend this office for all of your hearing needs - Great Staff and Excellent service.

Allison made sure that every concern I had was addressed with a complete explanation of the problem and what would be done to mitigate it. She explained the test results thoroughly. She has a very pleasant way abut her that was both assuring and professional.Monique and the rest of the office staff are very pleasant and helpful as well,I would recommend Hearing and Brain Center to anyone who has anxiety about their loss of hearing and wants to make sure everything is being done right and is using the latest technology to diagnose and correct any problems. In short, you can be assured that everything at H&BC being done to make your experience a worry-free and fruitful.

When I went to the office of Healing & Brain Centers in Worcester onMonday 4-22-19 and saw that Monique was there, I knew that she would help take care of whatever was interfering with my aids working. I have found Monique to be outstanding with her assistance, both personally and professionally, each time I have gone to the office. I was not disappointed this time either. After Monique cleaned the aids, quickly and thoroughly, I was happily on my way. Monique is certainly well suited for her employment and contributes to the proficiency of the Centers as a whole. Thank you to Monique and all at Healing and BrainCenters. Gratefully, Paula Hillman, Client

Review №28

This symposium was very informative. As an individual with hearing loss, it was important to understand why it’s progressive (ie the nerves die due to no stimulation), I do my best to stimulate my brain to ensure cognition, but do so via reading. Clearly, there are some nerves not stimulated in this modality. I will find ways to stimulate nerves via hearing, perhaps through music, I do currently wear the Oticon aids. Thank you for a very informative evening!

I had been to see Dr Darrow 2 1/2 years ago and was very impressed with the testing and knowledge provided. However, the cost was more than I could afford. I have noticed since then that I was having a real problem hearing conversations when background noise was involved. I work in a busy, often loud office and realized how many times a day I was sayingIm sorry, I cant hear you.So, I went to Hearing & Balance Centers beautiful new office. Every detail of testing, treatment options, and financial options were thoroughly explained to me. I am so happy that there is now a much more affordable monthly payment option available. My appointment was yesterday, today I am at work with my awesome new hearing aids! They make all the difference - Hearing & Balance Center rocks!

The staff were all welcoming and friendly. The testing was as stress-free as possible. There was no hard sell or any pushiness and nothing was rushed. I would recommend, as is always a good idea, to get a printed copy of documents related to warranties and financing options and read them before signing to make sure you understand everything. We love hearing each other without yelling; what a relief!! We have become addicted to hearing, so no problems with not using the devices. AND even with my bald husband, you really can’t see them.

My husband and I thought our first visit was excellent and very thorough. The time spent with us was impressive. I am writing this review due to the fact my husband has no email account and would never do this. Trying to get him to get help us very difficult. He will not be an easy patient. However, that being said he was impressed. He told me he has given up. The ringing in his right ear is bothering him so much. So far he is not giving the hearing aids a chance. I will try very carefully to get him to wear them. I certainly dont want to push him to much. I am hoping hell try!!!!!

We met with the professionals and they recommend to see and Ear Nose and Throat Doctor just to verify the structure of the ear was intact. Now that the scans are back we now know that the best way to help his hearing and prevent Dementia is a hearing aid. I am impressed with the complete testing and referral that was provided to my son! It is amazing to see my son come out of his shell. I am sure he will have a girl friend in no time!

Someone told me I should check out the Hearing and Balance clinic when I mentioned having difficulty hearing. I went to the first appointment and there was no pressure just helpful information and lots of testing to gain a full understanding of ME. Come to find out I had significant hearing loss and was provided 2 hearing aids THAT DAY. They titrated the volume so it wouldn’t be so overwhelming like I’ve heard other people complain about getting hearing aids. I never knew how much I avoided things and people because I had so much trouble hearing. I’m so grateful I get to participate in my life now!!

Dr. Darrows medical approach to diagnosing and treating hearing loss as a progressive degenerative disorder makes all the difference in the world! His entire team of providers are committed to improving the lives of their patients, and the results speak for themselves. If you want to increase speech clarity (not just volume), understand better in background noise, and provide better stimulation to your brain, you can trust Dr. Darrows team to make it happen.

I heard Dr. Darrow talk about hearing aids on our local radio station. He had great news about new hearing aid technology. He was offering a hearing test and a free trial period using the new Oticon hearing aids. I took him up on his offer. I wasnt disappointed. There was a dramatic difference in the old hearing aids from the Veterans Administration, and the new ones from Dr. Darrow. I was sold on their product. Dr. Darrow and his office staff are true professionals on treating hearing loss.

I have been going here for nearly three years. I will admit in the beginning things were a bit rough. My hearing aids just werent fitting right. Let me say, my ears are no way the same either, one has been reconstructed. I may also add that I am blind as well. So making sure my hearing aids worked appropriately was essential for me to navigate. So it wasnt easy. But in the end, after a few trips, they got it right. I will say Dr. Daro, and the entire staff is so incredibly warm, helpful, and considerate. (even when I may be in a bad mood).My daughter now also has hearing aids, and she just cant say enough good words about Dr. Daro. I will never forget her words when she first tried on a pair of hearing aid in the office. Oh my, (eyes wide opened) wow, I can hear, and hear things I didnt know were around! And that continued all the way home.

Review №61

Over the last few years, I had been having some issues with my hearing. My wife also had been having similar issues with her hearing.Very often our hearing was challenged in restaurants that were noisy or even in church trying to hear and understand just what the priest was saying in his homily. We got most of it but then a phrase or a word left us confused.A couple of friends had made some suggestions as to where we might go for help. Initially, we went to a hearing loss clinic in Shrewsbury, Ma. We were both tested and the tests revealed that we both were experiencing a goodly amount of hearing loss. My wife went ahead with here treatment, but I waited.A few weeks later, another friend suggested I go to the Hearing and Balance center located right here in Worcester based on her experience there. Well, long story short, I went and was very impressed with their evaluation and solutions to my hearing loss problem.I have had my hearing aids for quite a while now and I am very pleased with them and my decision to go with Dr. Darrow and the Hearing Balance Center. Whenever I need an adjustment or a check-up, they are there for me! If I need batteries or other part replacement items, they are ready, willing and able to satisfy my hearing needs and usually at no additional cost so far. Whenever I enter the center, Monique is right there to welcome me and direct me to a staff member that might be able to address any question or problem I might be experiencing. In almost no time at all I and ready to be on my way.The waiting area is vary comfortable as well. There is plenty of coffee and lots of interesting reading materials there to enjoy while the staff resolves and hearing issues and in no time at all, you are off. Whats not to like?

My father went to get his hearing checked at the Hearing and Balance Centers of New England. We knew he needed hearing aids, but he resisted for years. Hes been wearing them for months now and it makes such a big difference for him and his family! He admittedly feels less isolated because he can now hear things that he didnt realize he was missing, like conversations in crowded restaurants and sarcastic comments uttered under the breath of his family members. The people at the Hearing and Balance Centers of New England are friendly, knowledgeable and understanding. I recommend them to anyone who thinks they have a hearing issue, and those who dont believe that they do (like my Dad)!

I only wish I had visited Hearing and Balance and Dr. Darrow years ago. My first visit yesterday was unlike visiting audiologists in the old days. New tests, visual real time displays of ear performance, explanations of the interdependence of hearing and brain function. Kim, the audiology fellow, was extremely pleasant and patient, as well as informative. Finally, I got the newest iteration of miniaturized, noise-cancelling Oticon hearing aids (my first ever), and they are an easy fit and unobtrusive. I hardly know I have them on. Bonus: theyre iPhone enabled and they stream bluetooth (if you fellow geezers like) right through your hearing aids, which is very cool. Most of all, they are natural sounding, not like your parents clunky hearing aids. For me, they dont make everything louder; they just make sounds clearer and more understandable. I am already comfortable with them, and in subsequent visits Dr. Darrow will tweak them to be even more attuned to my requirements. Baby steps, I understand, but they already are a huge improvement.

This is a joke, right. I posted 3 + years ago and then a response posted 2 hours ago. My stars changed, as this office only wants to sell you new hearing aides for $175.00 per month for you life. No thanks. I would still stand by Doctor Burns but she hit the road 3 years ago. Go slow my friends.

I have been increasingly disappointed in this audiological service. The attention used to be friendly and personal; now it is awkward, abrupt, and even dismissive. The purpose of the service appears to be to promote Dr. Darrow, his book, and his research rather than to improve the hearing and the quality of life of the people served here. In my opinion, there is greater emphasis on referring new customers in order to drum up business than there is on helping hearing-impaired people to enjoy communication and relationship. The administrative effort of keeping records seems slack; it took the employee an extra effort to research that I had recently been into the office at least twice in recent months for problems with my aids. The change of name from Hearing and Balance Centers of New England to Hearing and Brain... is also being managed poorly, with some documentation with the original name and other documentation with the new name. I was not sure that I was calling the correct place due to this inconsistency.
