A Testimonial to Contemporary Hearing

Living with a person who has impaired hearing can be very trying for them and the resot of the family.

After using several different hearing aids, our desperation led us to Contemporary Hearing.

Deafness has a psychology all its own.  Contemporary Hearing didn't stick a devise in my husband's ears and set him loose to find his own way.  They trained him to use his equipment to his best advantage.  While working with him they expained and encouraged me, too.

Now at family dinners my husband participates.  Our daughter said he used to just fade away because he could not hear.  The TV no longer dooms through the whole house and the day, "HUH?" "What did you say?" seem to be over.

If there are questions or problems the oversight from Blair and his wife is always there. 

That is why I call them, "THE BEST MARRIAGE COUNSELORS IN TOWN."

Dear Blair,

I have been working with you on my hearing problems for the last three or more years.  It has been a most satisfactory experience.

The change you suggested from my previous aids to the new ones has allowed me to keep the equipment in for the entire day.  I forget how much they are doing for me until I take them out; my, the world gets quiet.

You have been superb in seeing me ASAP when a problem develops.  Why, you have even made the effort to come to my apartment to clear up a glitch - this is beyond the call of duty.

I have recommended you to friends, and they have been delighted with the service and the personal interest that you give.

I congratulate you on your nomination for small Business of the Year by the venice Chamber of Commerce.  I hope they give you an elegant scroll to mount on your wall, and it would be nice if they gave you a pin to wear on your lapel.

All good wishes and hope for continuing success spiced with impressive awards.

Best regards,

George D....

Hello David at Venice Area Chamber of Comerce (VACC),

My name is Edith M... and I am from New Hampshire.  I have recently purchased hearing aids from Blair Post, Contemporary Hearing of Venice.

Blair is one of the nicest and most patient people I have met in this field of hearing.  First of all, he made sure that I had someone to contact in NH (when we go back) in the event I had questions, need supplies, make adjustments, etc.  This was very important to me as I kept hearing from others elsewhere that the hearing aids just don't work and support just isn't there.  With Blair that just was not true.  He worked with me until I felt very, very comfortable and assured me that I can go back to him anytime with any questions, adjustments, etc.  I am now wearing my hearing aids everyday and don't even realize that I have them on.  To me that is terrific.

Sincerely,

Edith M.....

Dear Director of Venice Area Chamber of Commerce,

I'd like to share with you my wonderful experience with Blair Post's Contemporary Hearing of Venice, Florida!

My mother's hearing loss threatened her ability to live independently, a serious blow to her considerable pride.  She, my sister and I couldn't live farther apart from each other, contributing to our anxiety.  Blair's expertise in his field is evident, but his greatest talent is his ability to impart complex diagnostic and technological information to his patients in clear, easily understandable forms and language.  He caters to a skeptical clientele - the elderly - so this is no small feat!

Blair quickly identified my mother's problem, suggested a variety of solutions and guided us to the best choice for our unique circumstances.  He followed up and continues to do so.  He reassured us with his disarming wit and humor winning our trust and respect and giving us confidence that mom could maintain her lifestyle.

Of course, Blair has a "secret weapon" -- his wife!  She is both receptionist and "Gal Friday" and is able to put even the most skittish client at ease with her charm, openness and sunny disposition.  The Posts are the best option in and around Venice for any family facing the daunting challenge of a loved one's hearing loss.

Very Truly Yours,

John C. , Jr. (Counselor-at-Law)

Dear Director of Venice Area Chamber of Commerce,

I have been hard of hearing for about ten years and in that time have had the services of several audiologists.  None have surpassed those of Blair Post.  He is kind, available and definitely knows what he is doing!

During my purchase of a new hearing aid, he was most patient and helpful and I am completely satisfied.

All in all, I haighly urge anyone with the need of this type of service, to Contemporary Hearing!

Sincerely,

To Director of Venice Area Chamber of Commerce,

I am writing to let you know of the wonderful experience I have had with Mr. Blair Post of Contemporary Hearing in Venice.  Normally I would not have contacted the Chamber of Commerce but my experience with Mr. Post was so unusal that I felt the need to let you know.

I was a walk-in customer in March 2008.  I guess it was the "positive vibe" I got when I walked past the door, and then I went in.  Immediately I was greeted by the receptionist and then Blair.  He was personable, professional and funny, all at the same time.  He took time to talk with me about my present hearing aids, the reasos why I was not happy with them and the options I had in order to hear better given my lifestyle.  He suggested a product and then said I could take them out and walk around with them for the weekend, and return them after a few days.   I was stunned!  I couldn't imagine anyone letting someone walk out with $3,000 worth of hearing aids!  needless to say he and Ichose the best product for me and I bought them after the initial trial period.

In the year since my purchase Blair and I talked ont he telephone (Ilive in Philadelphia) on the few occasions I had a question.  He also supplied me with batteries for the year.  In each instance he was professional yet approachable.  When I returned to Venice in January of this year I stopped by the office and was greeted by name, even though Iknow he has  hundreds of clients.  I have recommended him to numerous people who have asked about my hearing aids, mostly because they did not know I was wearing them (they are not really visable)!

Blair Post is a credit to the Chamber and is deserving of your attention as an exemplary member and businessman.  I am pleased to recommend him for any award that the Chamber bestows.

Sincerely,

Susan N., Venice FL

To Director of Venice Area Chamber of Commerce,

I am a "snowbird" from Annapolis, Maryland and will be here until April 3, 2009 (until next year when I hope to return), and I'd like to tell you about a truly pleasant and helpful experience I've had in your lovely city.

I wear a hearing aid and have for many years.  I was having a lot of problems with my hearing aid, which my local MD had done little to help, so I decided to try out Contemporary Hearing, next to Publix on the Island.

There I met Blair Post, the owner and his wife, Karen.  First of all, he fave me the most comprehensive and best hearing test I have ever had --- and I'be had many.  He then spent two hours at that time trying to program my aids and figure out how he could improve them which involved ordering software for his computer, trying to access my records from Maryland, etc.  His wife was also extremely helpful with some good adive as to hearing coping skills.  He then loaned me hearing aids while he worked on mine!

I am completely impressed with his knowledge and how important it was for him to make me comfortable with my hearing problem.  He is extremenly well versed in knowledge, not only of hearing aids and ears but he also is a kind and compassionate person.  I don't need to buy new hearing aids at this moment (thanks to him) but when I do, I will come back to Florida to make my purchase from him.  That is how much I trust him.

If you get any calls from people needing information as to where they can go for help with hearing aid problems, I would hope that you would recommend Blair Post, Contemporary Hearing, 523 Tamiami Trail South.

We've had a lovely time for the third year in a row in your lovely city, and we look forward to returning next year.

Sincerely,

Anne M.

Hello Blair,

I wanted to thank you so much for helping me out that day.  My hearing aids have been much better.  Venice is very pretty and everyone was so wonderful to me, but I am glad to be back in Scottsdale, AZ.

It was wonderful to get things back to normal so I hear better.

Thank you for your kindness,

Dorajean L.
