I always feel well cared for and loved when I visit. Dr Storm is thorough, personable, caring and knows her stuff. Even through my frustrations of learning how to wear hearing aides, she makes settles my nerves and we always have a laugh...well maybe two! Love this place.

Emily and Dr. Storm were fantastic. Emily was very friendly, helpful, prompt, and able to educate me on my appointment. Location was a little difficult to spot, but Emily met me outside and helped direct me to the office.When booking, I was given paperwork and new patient forms as well as some surveys and educational material.Dr. Storm was equally helpful - friendly, attentive (!), and very educational. She listened and was able to help deduce my hearing issues within the first meetup. My particular case requires a follow-up, but I will gladly book to do business with them again.There was no wait in the lobby and minimal wait until the Doctor joined in the patient room. Excellent service overall.

I was given a very detailed exam. It was all explained to me in great detail. Ive had many exams in the 15 years Ive been wearing hearing aids, this was the best with the most technology. Dr Storm is a down to earth professional.

My dad is 84 years old and Dr Storm was very patient with him, specially considering that English is not his first language. She programmed and cleaned his hearing aids (including his ears!) She did everything and beyond what we expected with a big smile. My dad is finally able to participate in conversations now. He is very happy with his hearing aids and that warms my heart :) Thank you Blue Sky Hearing!

Expert and thorough attention from Dr. Storm. Her thorough testing of my hearing led to the selection of hearing devices which have truly improved my life. Every minor issue I have had since then have been promptly and expertly addressed. I could not recommend Dr. Storm and Blue Sky more highly. And to anyone with hearing issues, go see your audiologist. You don’t even realize what you are missing or what can be done for you.

I have been going to hearing aid dispensers for over 40 years. I have experienced a great range of service. Blue Sky Hearing is by far the best. Dr Dr Storm really know her stuff. Those four post graduate years obtaining her doctorate of audiology really have made a difference. She is also a very good listener. She let me know what steps she recommend I take. I went there because my hearing aids had been very poorly adjusted just a few weeks before. The ear molds that I had replaced twice were slipping out of my ear canal. She knew immediately what to do to remedy the situation. The hearing aids are now working better than at any time in the past 3 years since I purchased them.

I switched to Blue Sky about 2 years ago and have been extremely pleased with their services. They correctly diagnosed a hearing aid issue and provide very thorough care. They are also very responsive to any unexpected issues.

Dr. Storm is passionate about giving her patients high-quality, nuanced, hearing. The devices I wear are lightweight and small - like nothing is in your ear. She takes the time to work with her patients to fine-tune your hearing so you have access to the breadth of sound in every diverse environment you are in - from concert to restaurant to crowded store to quiet garden. She treats you as your unique self, always welcomes questions, and is delighted about your wellness. I give her many more stars! and I know youll be happy you found her.

Very attentive and thorough attention to my issues. Excellent options provided to me, and Ive been very satisfied with my hearing devices. And right now, theyre being extremely thorough with their disinfecting and social distancing protocol, with only one client in the office at a time.

My experience with Dr.Storm was outstanding! My previous audiologist passed away and I was referred to Dr. Storm. Although I already had hearing aids, my hearing was declining. When I left Dr. Storm’s office I could hear again!!! It was an incredibly satisfying experience including her receptionist Kathy. I recommend this practice without reservations

Dr. Storm and Kathy are two of the nicest people you will meet. And this is good on its own, but when you are managing hearing loss, this becomes critical. Dr. Storm and Blue Sky Hearing set a high standard for customer service, professionalism and expertise. I have full and complete confidence in Dr. Storm and her staff.

Dr. Storm is the one doctor I have no trepidations about visiting. She is cheerful, professional and very smart. She always seems to know how to deal with anything thrown at her. And she is open to discussing any area of discomfort, solving my issues and sending me on my way. Worth every cent I’ve put into my hearing aids program.

I always receive careful attention from Dr. Storm. I appreciate her knowledge about devices and that she is constantly updating the information at hand. The fact that she is not representing a particular brand adds to her credibility, when she imparts information.

Review №26

Sue was the best audiologist I have ever used. I have had hearing loss for over 35 years, and have been there, done that and had unfortunately some pretty awful experiences. Sue was so respectful, direct, professional, warm, and caring, I just cannot say enough good things about her and her service. She was so well informed and knowledgeable, I knew immediately that I could trust her. I unfortunately live most of the year in Minnesota, but next time I have an issue with my hearing aid I will literally fly back to Oakland just to see her. Amazing!

Blue Sky Hearing is amazing. I have been wearing hearing aids for over 30 years and Dr. Storm is the most knowledgeable audiologist that I have ever worked with. Not only does she know how to make me hear better, she does it with such friendliness and sincerity. If you know anyone that needs hearing aids or needs help with their existing hearing aids, send them to Blue Sky. I promise you will not regret it.

My partner switched to Blue Sky after about 10 years with another outfit. He loves the place. (Partner: theyre wonderful people - smart, thorough, personable. Unlike some places, theyre not owned by one of the manufacturers. Very thorough testing before settling on the product that appears to do the best job. Im completely satisfied with their services).

I am extremely satisfied with the professional, courteous and caring service that Dr. Storm has provided me at Blue Sky Hearing. She clearly explained the physiology of my hearing loss, provided me with quality aids that enhance my hearing and worked with me to achieve the best device settings to accommodate my hearing deficit.As I had negative experiences at one other hearing aid clinic I truly appreciate the service Blue Sky Hearing offers and firmly believe that service and the attitude with which its delivered is at least as important as the devices you have selected and perhaps more so.

Review №34

These are highly trained audiologists with great professional expertise and a passionate commitment to their clients. Buying hearing aids from them feels more like a valet service than a purchase of medical merchandise. They also do research on the performance of the latest hearing aids. They will not be satisfied until you are, and they welcome return visits when fine-tuning is needed and until optimal performance is achieved. Ive dealt mostly with Dr. Storm, who is very personable, deeply committed to and engaged with her clients.

As a new hearing aid user and a medical doctor I am so impressed with Dr Storms thoroughness in her evaluation and her ability to explain to me what was going on with my hearing and the nuances of the technologies available to me. As an added benefit she and her receptionist are quite friendly and the office is nice. It would have been less expensive to go to Costco and buy a standard hearing aid but I really appreciated the personal assessment, expertise, guidance and ongoing support she has provided.

Review №41

Spectacular professionals. Quick, efficient and informative. Very friendly; made me feel welcome and comfortable; however, not very accommodating to me and my disabilities. Wanted to punish me for being late (due to medical condition), by holding my hearing aid hostage. Helped me understand how the different parts of the ear interact and to choose the best hearing aid.

Review №42

Ownership changes have altered the ambiance of this new company.Original team was a near perfect balance of the classic yin/yang of business types as principals.It is not that BSH lacks high level expertise...it has professionalism in spades. But the personal touch has taken a hit. Now Dr. Storm and new front help have a tiger by the tail.Seems they need another Audiologist in the mold of their past partner to right this ship, and soon.I considered moving on, but as I liked them from the start, I will give them time to settle and the benefit of any doubt I may have. This is, after all, about hearing enhancement, not personalities.I will continue to recommend them, for now..

Personalized expert hearing services, for a price. They don’t bill your insurance, and I’m not even sure what is and is not covered, even though my visit was “authorized”. But if you can afford it, they are well worth it. It’s a funny specialty that perhaps is considered a luxury, which it shouldn’t be.

Dr Storm and her staff at Blue Sky are awesome. Having my hearing assessed caused me to be a bit anxious. DR. Storm picked up on my uneasiness and did much to calm and make the experience less stressful for me. Her manner was most excellent and appreciated. Thank you Dr. Storm and Cathy.

Dr. Storm and her associates have provided excellent medical advice, hearing loss measurement and resolution of my hearing issues. Ive used hearing aids recommended by her with good results over a year. The on-going maintenance services and periodic checkups to keep the hearing aids adjusted and in good working order have been exemplary.I highly recommend the Blue Sky Hearing staff for any hearing issues.

Blue Sky Hearings services are a huge step ahead of what I used to get from hearing aid dispensers, thanks to the expertise of Susanna Storm, a doctor of audiology and a caring individual. As my hearing loss has progressed over four decades, Ive never felt more hopeful, thanks to Dr. Storms command of the rapidly advancing field of hearing aid technology.

When it comes to hearing aids, there are a lot of options out there. And, I must admit, when I first started looking for hearing aids, it was very confusing. Because my hearing was getting worse and worse, I finally consulted my doctor. He cut right to the chase. Go see Dr. Storm. Shes in the building next door. I then asked him, What about Costco? His reply, They sell good products, but Id see Dr. Storm first. Shes a board, certified audiologist.He couldnt have given me better advice. The moment I walked into Dr. Storms office, it was like a cloud was lifted from over my head. She offered me a cup of coffee and then really listened to what I had to say. Dr. Storm asked me all sorts of questions. Why I thought my hearing was deteriorating? What type of music did I like listening to? Was I bothered by excessive noise in restaurants that made it difficult to have a conversation? We spent more than 20 minutes discussing my specific hearing situation.Then she cleaned my ears. Wow! Ive never had a more thorough cleaning. Yes, I did have a lot of wax, but thanks to Dr. Storm, she got it all out. She then gave me the most comprehensive hearing test I have ever experienced. Ive had my hearing tested before, but never by a trained audiologist. What a difference a degree makes!Dr. Storm then told me something that was a little alarming. She said, yes you do have mild hearing loss in your left year, but the extent of hearing loss in your right ear is much more severe. While I was cleaning your ears, I saw something that was a little unusual. When was the last time you went to an ENT? My reply, Not in some time. I know its been well over a year since Ive had my ears checked and you should know, I do suffer from a sinus condition. Dr. Storm then said, Well you do need hearing aids, but before fitting you, I want you to see an ENT. Its important that you find out if theres any medical reason thats blocking sound from reaching your ear drum.I thanked Dr. Storm and asked her how much I owed for the hour I spent with her. She said, nothing! Just be sure you have your ears examined by a specialist.After seeing my ENT and getting a green light to be fitted for hearing aids, (I didnt have a problem after all), I went back to Dr. Storm for another consultation. We then had a serious conversation about the various types of hearing aids which are available on the market and how each of them might relate to my specific condition. We also talked about price and service plans. I never knew such a thing as a service plan existed. Warranties, yes. but a service plan?What I like about Blue Sky Hearing, where Dr. Storm is a partner, is they not only offer various types of hearing aids to fit both your medical requirements as well as your budget, they also offer service plans which, in my opinion, are even more important than the hearing aid brand, you buy. These little, intricate devices not only need cleaning, they also need to be periodically adjusted and fine-tuned in order to maximize their effectiveness. My hearing aids need to be adjusted at least twice a year, usually after Apple asks me to update the software on my phone. Last year I bought the new Oticon OPN model which is Bluetooth enabled. Theyre absolutely amazing!I see Dr. Storm 2-3 times a year to have my hearing aids, serviced, cleaned and adjusted, all of which is included in the service plan I purchased with my new Oticon devices. I even get a box of batteries and cleaning supplies with each and every visit.I dont think theres a more knowledgeable, thorough, caring and competent audiologist in the entire Bay Area. Ive also heard great things about Dr. Storms associate, Dr. Gregoire. And, you know what, the coffee at Dr. Storms office is just as good as the day we first met, three years ago.Blue Sky Hearing has it all. A friendly atmosphere, knowledgeable staff, wide product selection, competitive prices and most important of all, fabulous service. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
