Both of my parents just had an appointment at Sound Advice Audiology today. Everyone in the office was so incredibly kind and helpful. Carrie at the front desk was amazing! She helped with getting my parents an appointment and helped with my parents insurance. Ben treated my parents as if they were his parents. He cleaned both of their ears out and even fixed my Dads old hearing aid until his new one comes in. He is extremely knowledgeable and gave my parents several options to choose from. If I could give more than five stars I would. Best customer service ever!!!

I visited Sound Advice Audiology while traveling in Michigan. They were able to fit me in quickly and easily, accepted cash payments (because I have out of state insurance), and my visit was fast and helpful. The team follows COVID protocols, remained masked and had excellent social distancing. Dr. Ben was a magician and restored my impacted hearing before it was time for me to get back on a flight. I couldnt have asked for a more seamless first-time experience with an audiologist.

After reading reviews here, I confirmed our choice of using Sound Advice for an elderly family member with her doctor and he agreed it was the place to go for hearing testing and advice for equipment. We worked with Hannah C. who was very patient working with my aunt who is experiencing the start of some dementia. Hannah was very clear and appropriately paced in her explanations to my aunt and did a great job informing us of the test results, our options, and how the initial steps of using a hearing device would work. There was never any pressure about which path to take when deciding whether or not to use equipment or what kind. I do feel that the interactions and care that we had today matched the five star reviews I read, which brought me there.

I recently brought my mother in to get a hearing test. Rebecca took care of her. Initially my mother was not comfortable with doing this but she was put very much at ease in the situation and was so happy to be getting it done. I found Rebecka to be very thorough and professional as I am in a line of work that requires the same thing. I thought she did an excellent job covering all the bases, being kind and understanding. You know when someone loves their job when they do it so well. So I am very thankful for a positive experience being I have been trying to get my mom to do this for so long. The entire staff was very kind as well.

Office staff was very professional with my first phone call. They were very accommodating with an appointment. The audiologist, Ben, was great. We talked about what my goals were for my visit. He explained the testing as we progressed through the different phases. Once testing was complete, Ben clearly explained in simply terms my test results. He then took time to thoroughly explain and walk me though all the options to improve my hearing and recommended what he thought would work best for me. There was no pressure to purchase any products. Ben was very caring and truly showed an interest. I would highly recommend him and Sound Advice Audiology for your hearing needs.

I have used this business for 2 sets of hearing aids and through 2 sets of owners. I like that they have a variety of companies to choose from and trial periods. I have trialed a pair returned them and then trialed another 2 until I found the one that worked best in conferences. I also like that the wait time to get in is much shorter than the hospital clinic.

I’ve been a client w/sound advise for about 2 yr now and because my hearing (or hearing preferences) tend to change, requiring hearing aid adjustments, Sound Advise technicians are always welcoming and seem only to care about servicing your needs. I’m very pleased w/ their service and highly recommend them.Kevin

I have worn high quality hearing aids for about 5 years with poor hearing results so who would guide me in the process of new hearing aids was very important. I choose Sound Advice after exploring several other options, reading research where I could find it and consolation with others on the subject.How do I feel about my Sound Advice decision? I highly recommend Sound Advice. Working with Ben has greatly improved my level of hearing allowing me to feel more confident in my interactions with friends and professionals in my daily life. A plus is the nice friendly atmosphere at Sound Advice; I feel like a friend – not a patient.

Went here for musician earplugs. Out of all the places I called this place answered all my questions and beyond. Everyone I talked to (Jess and Becky and the receptionist) were so professional every step of the way. I’m super impressed- will recommend them to anyone I know who needs hearing services!

As an engineer and a hearing aid user of almost 40 years, I have visited many offices and worked with many audiologists. I have had good experiences and bad experiences, but never a GREAT experience until just recently. I contacted seven different audiologists in hopes of purchasing new hearings, and decided to go with Ben Wightman Au.D. of Sound Advice Audiology in Livonia. Anyone that deals with hearing loss, be it mild, profound or anything between, knows that communication skills, critical-thinking, compassion and probably most importantly, patience is needed when dealing with such challenges.I was incredibly impressed by the professionalism that greeted me at the front door by the Office Manager to the time, transparency and care that Dr. Wightman showed me through the entire process of purchasing new hearing aids.Of the seven places that I contacted, Sound Advice Audiology had access to all of the brands and models of devices, they didn’t push any one brand on me, like several of the other offices did, Dr. Wightman had device suggestions based on my testing, but explained that he is not in the business of selling hearing aids, but in the business of giving me the best chance of successfully utilizing what hearing I have left. Also, Sound Advice had the longest trial period of the offices that I contacted. They allow for a 30-day trial, not 2-weeks as the other offices limit you to. Two weeks is not long enough for your brain to acclimate to the new sounds that you are hearing or the old sounds that you are hearing differently with new technology. Even at that, Sound Advice is flexible with the trial period. Probably, the most important thing that I can state confidently, of the seven places that I contacted, Sound Advice had the least EXPENSIVE prices for hearing aids and their repairs. They beat the lowest quote that I obtained elsewhere by $1,200! Everybody knows that hearing aids are not cheap!So my recommendation to anyone looking for a professional office of an audiologist that has affordable, compassionate and patient care that is willing do whatever it takes to make you make the most of your challenges… look no farther than Dr. Ben Wightman Au.D. of Sound Advice Audiology with offices in Livonia and Farmington Hills. I was truly blessed to have discovered him, and now you can be too.

Setting up an appointment was easy with the friendly staff. Ben, the audiologist, was very knowledgeable in his field, not pushy and gave me the results of my test immediately. Let me know the hearing aid options and left it up to me to decide if I wanted them or not. Easy parking and clean facility.

Dr. Ben is an oasis in a desert of despair for tinnitus sufferers. After seeing 3 ENTs which were no help and only exacerbated the condition with comments like its chronic or you learn to live with it. I started doing my own research and came across Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT), the work of Pawel J. Jastreboff. It was life changing. I immediately started to search for an audiologist in my area that was familiar with this training. I emailed Dr. Ben from his website and his responded promptly. After my first appointment, I knew I found the right person to help me. He had been through Jastreboffs training and understood tinnitus condition and the journey to retraining my brain to make tinnitus no longer an issue. Sound Advice is a Sound Decision for those with hearing issues and especially for those suffering from tinnitus.

I have been purchasing hearing aids from Sound Advice for almost 20 years. I found their service to be exceptional. Actually I would rate Joanie and her staff, Cheryl, Beth, etc., a 150% not just 100% in terms of accommodating the client. Joanie and her staff want you to be completely satisfied. They do everything in their power to make sure you have the appropriate hearing aid for you and one that fits perfectly, before you walk out the door. They take great care of you and service your hearing aids for years after your purchase.I have and will continue to do business with Sound Advice and refer my friends and relatives. Anyone seeking great service for a reasonable price will be more than satisfied.

I have seen Joni for my hearing aid needs for the last 20 years! She is very knowledgeable of the latest products available for hearing needs on an individual basis. She is personable, efficient and friendly and makes sure that whatever choice you make, you are completely satisfied with the product. Her office is efficient, easy to contact and set up appointments without long wait times. I will continue to seek her for my future needs and refer her to my friends. Thank you, Joni!

The staff at Sound Advice has always been friendly, helpful and accommodating.Joanie has provided excellent care and advice while dealing with me - an impatient and demanding client who expected to achieve super-sonic hearing with aids. She certainly has gone the extra mile with my hearing loss and has given me the confidence and ability to again communicate effectively with others.Cheryl has been most helpful with scheduling appointments and making adjustments when necessary and Beth has been very willing to step in when necessary.Sound Advice is certainly providing sound advice!

I really enjoy working with this company. I had an issue using an app on my phone. Ben took the time to do a work around to allow me to change the options using the hearing aids. Since I am old and senile, it works better for me than using a silly old app anyway!

After being in denial for years finally went to see the staff at sound advice. They are fun, speedy and compassionate. They answer all my questions, concerns, made recommendations that would suit my needs not those of anyone else. Thank you, Ben, Lauren, Terry, and Ms. Tadesco. Sorry if spelling is not correct.

I am on my third pair of hearing aids in 15 years or so. I decided to try Phonak aids, rechargeable. I have had difficulties using the bluetooth technology and getting accustomed to the differences and have had to go in to see Ben a good number of times. He and Terri have always been patient and understanding.I highly recommend Ben and Sound Advice for hearing aids.Thanks, Ben and Terri.

There is so much that I can say about my experience. I was considering and praying for options to my hearing loss and the Baha 5 Cochlear implant. I was led to Sound Advice. From the beginning Ben was open and welcoming and empathetic to my frustration. He assured me that he would be able to help me and he has. My new Phonak bidirectional hearing aids are absolutely the most wonderful thing that has happen regarding my hearing loss. I was growing to resent the Baha 5 and took it off whenever I could, with the Phonak hearing aids I wear them until I go to bed. I can even fall asleep on the sofa with them on!! Like I said there is so much I could say but let me end here. Great staff, great work, great experience!
