Continental Hearing Aid Center

I brought my father to see Richard Stone about two years ago. He fitted my father with a pair of hearing aids and during the whole process was patient and kind. Once in awhile I bring my father back for an adjustment, which he can do wirelessly with his computer.
I would not hesitate in recommending Mr. Stone to anyone who was interested in hearing aids.

I have been seeing Richard Stone for several years, and I am delighted with the care, compassion, and expertise I have received from him at Continental Hearing. He is warm, generous, honest, and has a great sense of humor. I always leave his office smiling!

Richard is exceptionally knowledgeable and has great patience with and understanding of his clients. He is honest, trustworthy and, above all, is concerned with his clients welfare.

I opened a piece of mail that ordinarily would have been recycled. Hmmm I thought It could be interesting. I called the number and made a «free» appointment. A few days later I’m on Piedmont Avenue and Mr. Stone had this instrument in my ear. I said out loud eewwwww. I thought I’ve been having trouble hearing was because I was losing my hearing. Now I’m thinking I have a tumor in my ear. Mr Stone simply said «ear wax». I went to Kaiser, had an ear wash. I returned to Mr. Stone’s office and had an ear exam. After 20 – 30 minutes we ended the exam. Mr. Stone came into the room, looked at me and said I have the hearing of a 20 year old. He said to come back 6 months to a year and get a recheck. I was glad and at the same time disappointed that I didn’t need hearing aids. Mr Stone was such a character that I knew I would miss him. I learned a lot about ears and what they didn’t do. He answered my questions in a way that I would understand.
Richard Stone is a keeper.

Richard Stone is very knowledgeable and incredibly helpful. You could tell he has a passion for his work. He made my deaf grandmother feel welcomed even though she doesn’t speak a word of English. Although he doesn’t take medi-​cal, he was very familiar with the hearing aid my grandmother had and helped readjust and program it free of charge and now she can hear better. I definitely would recommend him.

Richard Stone provides exemplary professional and personal service that is unique.
When I purchased my hearing aids I soon realized that I also was a recipient of an ongoing professional relationship and free service –an important part of the package when dealing with a delicate state-​of-​the art hearing aid.

Took my mother there when her old aids were failing her. We encountered a level of care and professionalism that is becoming rare. Everything was explained by Richard Stone so that my mother understood, not just me. She has since been delighted with her new aids and the free support for any issues, most of which are not being sure how ho adjust the aids for certain environments
