I have been using hearing aids for quite a few years, and Ontario Hearing is top notch in every way- Andrea has been wonderful in terms of her caring, knowledge, and service. If you think you have hearing issues, I would recommend this place as tops in all respects.

Our experience with Dr McNamara was amazing. He is one of the very few doctors that perform REM (real ear measurements) , when fitting the new hearing aid. This is key to getting the potential out of your device. You could have a high quality hearing aid, but NOT have it adjusted and fine tuned to your specific needs, and the result would be no where near what you want. I brought someone who was very sceptical that his severe hearing loss could be improved due to his tinnitus, but with Dr. McNamara 's effort, his knowledge and obvious enthusiasm for what he can do for his patients... It's a new world. I can't thank Dr McNamara enough.

I had purchased hearing aids at a business in the Rochester area and was not happy or satisfied with the service. I was referred to Ontario Hearing Center by a friend and I am very pleased with the professional service and exceptional patient care! They take the time, are available for support, and go above and beyond to make sure that patients are receiving the best possible care and are completely satisfied with the products they purchase from the moment you walk into the office. The Audiologist serving me and my needs is Dr Andrea Segmund - she's the best! I highly recommend Ontario Hearing Center of Brighton for all of your hearing aid needs and service!

Impressed with care I have received from Ontario Hearing. Staff is friendly. Office is clean and conveniently located. Scheduling is easy and have always been seen in a timely manner. Drs. Mcnamara and Segmond perform thorough exams and explain their findings in an understandable, professional manner. Thanks to their compassionate care,a world of many beautiful sounds has been opened to me.
