Testimonials
I had the most excellent care and thorough examination with Dr. Hilbert, Au.D., Doctor of Audiology. I would highly recommend this free consultation…which was WAY more than I ever imagined. Dr. Hilbert, Au.D. was incredibly meticulous, ran more tests than I had anticipated, and had the most state of the art equipment to give me way more information than I had dreamed. He concluded the visit with an extremely fascinating deduction of how my tinnitus has come about, and gave me so many options for my next steps. It was a truly awesome education about my hearing, how the ear works, and so much more. There are many places in Kelowna offering free hearing tests, however, I can’t recommend Dr. Hilbert, Au.D. more, as he’s the only one who does a complete and free consultation and truly takes the time to really understand your overall health and other factors that contribute to hearing issues. I couldn’t believe it was free of charge! TEN STARS! Thank you!

Are you looking to get your hearing checked? Before you do I hope you read this. I am now on my third set of hearing aids. The first set did nothing more than amplify the sound. The second pair needed repair and would cost me $600 for one new battery and would not be repairable after 6 months. It was time for new ones. The price I was quoted was outrageous and unaffordable! So, I began shopping around. Luckily for me, I found Dr. Hilbert, Au.D., a hearing care clinician that wants people to hear when they walk out their door. I was tested and fitted and have never looked back. I have been hearing sounds that I had forgotten about. Dr. Hilbert, Au.D., Doctor of Audiology is amazing. He explained everything clearly, showed me the test results that were more detailed than I had ever seen before and made a mold to fit my ears. The end of this story is that I can hear, everything, in my car, in restaurants, on the tv for half of the price I was quoted at another hearing clinic. I would encourage and recommend everyone who is having problems to visit this clinic. You won’t be disappointed.

My wife Judith and I would like to thank you for the excellent service and care we received from you at your office on Sutherland Avenue in Kelowna, B.C. We were warmly welcomed and then, Dr. Hilbert, Au.D., Doctor of Audiology, carried out a thorough ‘intake’ with each of us to learn more about our concerns with our hearing. He then carefully explained each step of his Audiology assessment with us so we understood what precisely he was checking. In the hearing booth, we heard a range of sounds and living situations ( busy restaurants with plates and cutlery noises in the background and other scenarios where we ‘listened’ to soft spoken voices with very little distracting background noise). In carrying out this detailed assessment, Dr. Hilbert, Au.D., Doctor of Audiology was able to assess the best hearing aids for our particular circumstances. My wife and I have different hearing aids because we had different hearing needs. It was this careful attention to our individual circumstances that we very much appreciated. When it was time to pick up our hearing aids, we received a full ‘orientation’ to the new devices including the Bluetooth feature that lets us answer our iPhone calls through the hearing aid. We especially like this feature. Two weeks after receiving our hearing aids we had a follow up appointment to check our ‘lived experience’ day-to-day with the new hearing aids and assess whether any settings needed to be recalibrated. Thank you again for the excellent care and service. We have already recommended you to relatives and friends!
