Stan installed an upgrade and increased volume but couldn’t pair them to work on my phone program. He said would need to go to Athens. After getting the left one paired I went back to him and he was able to reconnect the right one! Saved me a trip!!!

Totally and absolutely outstanding. Service and total outcome could not be better. I know where my next hearing aids will be purchased. Worked on my older pair, and they work better than before. I traveled more than 60 miles each way, was well worth it. Thanks Carson!
