“Was most impressed with Blair Post at Contemporary Hearing.”

I have been wearing hearing aids off and on for last 15 years. I often threw them in a drawer or threw them away and never looked back. About 2 years ago I interviewed multiple hearing aid specialists and was most impressed with Blair Post at Contemporary Hearing. I have now been wearing hearing aides he fitted me with successfully and happily since then. I will continue to do so and this is much appreciated by my wife and all the people around me.

“The kindness and patience are unmatchable.”

I am writing this review for my mother, Debbie Curwood, who has had an amazing experience for her very first encounter with Blair and his wife. They are professional, helpful and full of knowledge. The kindness and patience are unmatchable. I truly feel at ease with each appointment that I have had with them. Thank you for all of your help.

“They are now my preferred dispensary.”

My hearing aids are critical for both business and social settings. After 2 days of trying, my aids would not charge. Took them to Contemporary Hearing, and in just 5 minutes, they identified the problem and replaced my plug. They didn’t even want to take money, but I insisted. They are so professional, knowledgeable, patient, understanding and kind. They are now my preferred dispensary. Highly recommend!!

“Blair resolved my every need and repaired my hearing aids.”

After retiring several years ago I am delighted to live in warm and sunny Florida. Age has dimed my hearing ability and I must now depend on a pair of hearing aids to bring me back into the hearing world. Recently my hearing aids (purchased in Massachusetts) failed to function and I was in need of a local resolve. Much to my pleasure I found Contemporary Hearing at 242 Tamiami Trail So., Venice and Mr. Blair Post. Blair resolved my every need and repaired my hearing aids. Blair Post and Contemporary Hearing provided me with first class courtesy, compassion, and professional service and I wish to acknowledge that and intend to recommend them to many seniors residing in Holiday Park here in North Port.

“He is kind, available and definitely knows what he is doing!”

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!

“I cannot recommend him highly enough.”

I would like to share with you my experience with Blair Post of Contemporary Hearing. I have worked with six different Doctors of Audiology over the years due to my hearing loss. Blair is the first person to really help me improve my hearing and not just sell me new aids. He listens to my needs and problems and makes sure he understands them and then corrects them. I cannot recommend him highly enough to others who are frustrated with their hearing impairment.

- Howard W.

“He has been superb in seeing me ASAP.”

I have been working with Blair on my hearing problems for the last three or more years. It has been a most satisfactory experience. The change Blair 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. He has been superb in seeing me ASAP when a problem develops. Why, he 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 Blair to friends, and they have been delighted with the service and the personal interest that he gives. I congratulate Blair on his nomination for small Business of the Year by the Venice Chamber of Commerce. I hope they give him an elegant scroll to mount on his wall, and it would be nice if they gave him a pin to wear on his lapel. All good wishes and hope for continuing success spiced with impressive awards.
