Merit Hearing - Ankeny

“Not convinced that the high prices for quality hearing aids are really necessary, I put off getting tested for too long. Finally, I signed up, was tested and found myself looking at a $6,000 plus next step. (Admittedly, as an audiophile, I wanted the best possible quality of sound). Again, I stumbled and then started digging on the internet and found a group of audiologists – MERIT HEARING – that talked a different story - transparency. I drove the distance and was fortunate to meet the founders, Dr.’s Andrew and Kristen Keiner. More digging-in revealed a unique business model – one that has emerged from genuine compassion and a desire to help those of us who have a need for their knowledge and skills. “Help” comes from Merit in the form of clearly detecting and understanding our individual hearing issues and implementing the surprisingly complex audiology technology now available. And, the sweet desert is doing so affordably. After all was said and done, and I know I’m not easy to satisfy, my cost was less than half the price for the same high-end system. That was four years ago. Yesterday’s trip to check for changes in my hearing and technology was a visit to old friends and I was deeply pleased to again find people committed to servicing the needs of others with incredible care and thoroughness.”
