I have been a follower of Jeffrey Bayliff for nearly ten years, after finding his Hear the Birds Hearing Aid Center in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania. I was diagnosed with hearing loss, caused by an acoustic neuroma over a decade ago, and I had surgery to help recover my hearing. My ENT doctor at Gheisinger in Danville recommended a hearing device that would bring my hearing back to near normal. It entailed a titanium bone implant behind my right ear that would attach and hold a BAHA hearing device, which worked through "conduction." I could hear very well just by placing the BAHA on my forehead, but the implant held the device all day long with no concern about losing it, due to an attachment provided by Jeffrey. After the surgery and the adaptations I made in using the BAHA, I was able to hear clearly, and my experiences in the classroom, teaching at Lock Haven University, were significantly improved. Driving to Danville, when I needed continual upgrades and training, was difficult, especially while also teaching and working with LHU faculty. Therefore, I began searching for a closer technician near Lock Haven. My experiences with Hear the Birds were tremendously helpful, as well as finding a wonderful friend in Jeffrey. He helped when my BAHA needed to be repaired or programmed, and even helped me order an upgrade after several years. I drove for 15 minutes, instead of one and a half hours on winter roads, to get to my appointments. I didn't have to get up before dawn to get to Danville, and I never had to cancel any more of my classes since my appointments were only less than an hour, instead of nearly a full day going to and from Danville. My experiences with Jeffrey have been tremendously helpful, friendly, and convenient, so I would like to recommend him for any audiology needs you may have. He is able to provide excellent hearing devices at low cost. (He recently gave me a discount for a replacement device, when my dog chewed up my 0ticon hearing aid that needed to be replaced.)
