Thanks to Hear at Home Mobile Hearing Clinic and Jennifer Abbott my 94-year-old mother is hearing better than she has in years and is enjoying it. Despite the fact that I live in Victoria and my mother lives in Vancouver, Jennifer made it easy for me make all the arrangements from a distance. Jennifer: • deals well with the elderly and cares about her clients • takes charge and manages all the details • is very thorough: she gave me regular updates by telephone and email on how she was progressing. She emailed me photographs of the devices we had purchased so I could inspect the product. • made a video clip – and posted it on YouTube – that illustrated how the hearing aids were functioning with my mother and giving very clear instructions on how to use the external microphone accessory we ordered, and demonstrating its effectiveness. This has been invaluable. I sent the YouTube link to family and friends and now they all know how to use the microphone when they visit. Jennifer is filling an important niche for people who are homebound or have limited mobility. She went the extra distance to make it easy for me to remotely arrange for improved hearing for my mother. And she delivered results! Darrell Victoria

Jennifer was incredibly helpful to my mother (new client) and I on very short notice. today. She was warm and friendly, thorough and informative, efficient and very fair. We were grateful to learn new hearing aids were not needed, just some cleaning (which she demonstrated clearly) and recalibrating, following a hearing test. I would definitely recommend her business to anyone with mobility issues or privacy concerns or just wanting someone in the business of hearing and hearing support on their side, not beholden to a single manufacturer.

I resisted doing something about my hearing loss for many years -partly denial on my part, but also because I felt the professional I consulted many years ago seemed more interested in selling hearing aids rather than addressing my needs. My experience with Jennifer couldn't have been better. She obviously cares about her clients -using gentle humour to put me at ease. She was patient, thorough and explained everything without overwhelming me with information. I felt totally confident that my needs and well-being was her primary focus. A whole new hearing world has opened up for me now-I never realized how much I was missing before getting my hearing aides. She continues to follow up - which reinforces for me that she sincerely cares and wants only the best for her clients. Thank you, Jennifer.

Jennifer is fabulous and if I could give a dozen stars I would.
A week after my mom arrived from Germany, one of her Signia hearing aid stopped working and left us scrambling trying to find any option to allow mom to take part in all the Christmas experiences. We were so lucky that our first call was to Jennifer at Hear @ Home.
Not only did she squeeze us into her super busy schedule the same day to check on the hearing aid, she also coordinated with the Signia rep to get it replaced under it's international warranty when it was clear that it was broken.
She went above and beyond when she invited us to come in one more time to offer my mom a loaner hearing aid for the holidays.
I am so grateful that Jennifer has been so thoughtful, proactive and kind and ensured that my mom would not miss out.
I will go for my own hearing test in the spring and will send everyone I know into her capable hands.
Jennifer saved our Christmas!

I was very pleased to get my hearing test then the hearing aids so quickly. I had a single old hearing aid and I needed two. I am in my 90's and my hearing is poor. The two new hearing aids a re a great improvement. My experience with Jennifer and with her office staff was wonderful. Professional and competent describe it well. I recommend her services to anyone with poor hearing.

Jennifer & the Hear At Home staff are amazing. The kindness, warmth, sincerity and genuine concern for their clients and family is like I have never witnessed in a business. It is kind of hard to believe until you experience it. Read the other reviews and there is a consistent pattern in the accolades. They go above and beyond to do right for their clients and make it as easy as possible to handle what can sometimes be hard situations. I completely trust them with my parents and can not recommend them enough to care for your loved ones.

Hello Jennifer
Since last Wednesday, I have been putting my hearing aids in after coming out of the shower every single morning. You adjusted it and I have no more problem to understand people more than max. three, me included. Today we were six around the table and sometimes my husband, who was sitting beside me, talked to the host while I was chatting with the hostess and one of her friends to the same time. That never happened the last 3 or 4 years ever!
While driving in a pick up truck, very loud vehicle, I was able to talk to my husband without having to yell at each other! Also the drops are working like a charm. On Thursday, I needed it in both ears once. Today the first time again just later in the afternoon into my right ear. That’s it. It must have a kind of a healing property in that bottle…
Garry asked me if I stay in Squamish just for the cleaning – my reply was, never again!
Thank you for helping me so much and I will see you in a few months for ear cleaning.
Warmest Regards
