“I have had Oticon hearing aids from Absolute Hearing for over 4 years. The staff has always been attentive and professional. The Hearing Aid Specialists are excellent at determining your individual hearing issues and addressing them so that your hearing is greatly improved. I fully recommend Absolute Hearing. ”

“We are on vacation in Myrtle Beach. My husband for the wax collectors for his hearing aids. We called another audiology office and they didn't have any. When I asked if they knew somewhere else I might find them she just said no. I called Absolute Hearing and Donna was immediately sympathetic. She said they had some but wasn't sure if they would work. She went above and beyond by sending me a picture of them so we wouldn't have to drive there if not. They were the correct ones. She was extremely pleasant and helpful. We would HIGHLY recommend calling them with any needs.”

“I bought absolute hearing aids in good faith with 3 years of free adjustment. Now I had an appointment for an adjustment and the owner of the company said that I have to pay $65 for each visit, even though my 3 years is not over. THIS COMPANY STINKS BIG TIME. Beware of absolute hearing aids. They only don’t help in any kind of needed adjustments. I deeply regret using their products. ”

Official Response from Absolute Hearing Care Centers - Myrtle Beach:
“Dear Arthur, We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback because patient satisfaction is very important to us here at Absolute Hearing Care Centers. We’re sorry to hear that you’re frustrated with your experience here. Almost all of our hearing aids are sold with a professional services plan that includes adjustments. In unusual circumstances when we need to sell hearing aids without that service plan included to meet a patient’s budget constraints, we make it extremely clear to the patient, both verbally and clearly stated in writing in their purchase contract, that service appointments – including hearing testing, adjustments and re-fittings, firmware updates, etc. - will be priced separately. We explain this upfront with complete transparency at the time of purchase and at all subsequent visits so there are no surprises. We have the patient sign this acknowledgment and provide a copy. We understand that sometimes people can forget the details and that can lead to frustration. We are dedicated to abiding by our commitments and having clear communication. Providing professional services does cost money and we feel that $65 is a more than fair price for a service visit with a licensed hearing care provider. Best regards, Paul Retey, owner of Absolute Hearing Care Centers”

“I recently had an appointment with Absolute Hearing Care Center at the Market Commons. My experience with the specialist Patrick Vuich was absolutely second to none. He took his time and was through in matching me me up with the best possible hearing aids for my hearing lost. Also the receptionist was super polite as well. I do indeed highly reccomend their services for all future needs. ”

“I am a client at the Absolute Hearing Center located at Market Common (3260 Walton Dr., Myrtle Beach).
My hearing aid specialist, Patrick Vuich guided me and my husband through the process of acquiring my first hearing aids... For me it was an absolute miracle. He is extremely knowledgeable and made this experience most comfortable.
He answered all my questions and takes his time with me every visit. Kassidy, his office assistant is most welcoming and efficient. If you are ready to hear what you have been missing, please let them be your first choice!”

“I can’t thank Paul enough, the hearing aids he recommended to me have changed my life and they connect to my iPhone so I hear the person through them not the speaker on the phone. Highly recommend Paul and his company and he is wonderful to work with. ”
