Testimonials

As a purchaser of hearing aids for over 30 years I was deeply impressed by the high degree of professionalism shown to me Dr. Littman and his staff. Since they have available more than one brand of Aid, every effort was made to ensure I received the maximum quality of hearing for the lowest possible cost. Hearing aids are not purchased on the basis that one brand fits all. If everyone tells you that, you may have a hearing problem--don't hesitate. Make an appointment with Factoria Hearing and they will help you rejoin our world of sounds!

I feel fortunate to have had the benefit of Dr. Tom Littman's expertise ever since I developed a hearing loss. Besides the invaluable improvement to my hearing ability, I have found him to be meticulous, conscientious, and generous, even paying a house call when I was unable to get to his office.

Dr. Tom Littman is the best. My daughter has sensorineural hearing loss. Tom's care is thorough, kind, and patient. He is up to date on the latest technology, and he always has my daughter's best interest in mind. If there is a problem, he is dedicated to finding a positive solution. When it comes to my daughter's hearing needs, I know she is in capable, caring hands.

I first visited Factoria Hearing Center about a year ago and consider myself very fortunate to have met Dr. Littman who is an excellent professional standing out among many others I consulted about my hearing loss. He is refined and careful. Equipped with state-of-the-art instruments he painstakingly optimized the earpiece to enhance my hearing potential. I am grateful for what he gave me-an excellent quality of service.

Over the past nine years my daughter Sarah has been fortunate enough to have Dr. Tom Littman has her audiologist. When she was 4 years old, Sarah was diagnosed with bilateral hearing loss. When we met with Dr. Littman for the first time he immediately eased our fears and helped us understand the diagnosis. Sarah loved visiting Dr. Littman with his fun ties and delightful personality. It didn't take long to realize that he was a top notch audiologist and a wonderful advocate for my daughter. He helped us obtain the equipment necessary for Sarah to be successful in school and made sure that it was always in working order.

Sarah loves that Dr. Littman stays on top of technology and is excited to see what cool computer gadgets he has for testing her hearing and her equipment. We wouldn't think of going to any other audiologist for Sarah. We are grateful that we found Tom and appreciate all he has done for Sarah.

I have been a patient of Dr. Littman for the past six months and have been a hearing aid user for the last ten years of my life. I have never had such a positive experience form an audiologist in king county as I did with Dr. Littman. Dr. Littman took the time needed to explain my hearing loss to me, which I was very grateful for, not to mention the office staff was very helpful and kind. I am very pleased to have such a great audiologist as Dr. Littman. I would very highly recommend Dr. Littman to everyone or everybody in need of an audiologist.

My wife and I moved to the Seattle area just over one year ago. Since it was a move of considerable distance, it was necessary to establish new relationships with such professionals as physician, dentist, and audiologist. The search for a specialist to update my hearing aids, based primarily on Web perusal, led to several alternatives to which I devoted my attention. The Factoria Hearing Center came out on top, initially on the basis of the understanding response to my first telephone call to Bianca Piette, the Center's director, and then by the beginning consultation with its audiologist, Dr. Thomas Littman. The early sessions proceeded on through a plentiful array of tests and the fitting of a (for me) new type of hearing aid. Unfortunately, the new type did not work - it did not remain comfortably in my ear. Without hesitation, or additional cost, Dr. Littman simply took the measurements for another hearing aid and ordered it from the manufacturer. The result has been magnificent; the aid is comfortable and stable, and my hearing is better than ever. All that was accomplished in the context of an extremely pleasant office, run by Ms. Piette, and an extraordinarily competent and devoted audiologist, Dr. Littman. I felt thoroughly comfortable (comfortableness approaching an "at home" feeling) in the Center and awareness of the kind of attention to my hearing needs that was well over and beyond reasonable expectations.

I have worn hearing aids for about 25 years but have only enjoyed full benefit from them for the last six years - since my first visit to Dr. Littman in Bellevue/WA. I had been having constant problems with other aids including feedback, discomfort due to poor earmold fit on left side (canal is constricted) and malfunction because of the moist environment where I work. It was so bad that I was often going without one or both aids! Tom was able to fit me with a set that eliminated these problems. I see him a couple times a year for a few minutes of maintenance and an occasional hearing test. He uses the test to "update" the aids - with a special computer program - and they remain trouble free. My hearing loss is pretty severe but it doesn't exclude me from society any more. I am grateful.

After far too many years slowly withdrawing from social encounters and finally having to give up a new job because I couldn't hear the instructor I seriously began researching in- depth hearing aids and providers. I talked to my doctor, an ENT, my insurance company (like they are of any help on hearing aids), the internet and acquaintances. I determined to take my doctor's referral first and start interviewing until I found someone I felt comfortable with.

I struck gold on my first attempt with Dr. Tom Littman and Bianca at Factoria Hearing Center. It has been a great adventure "hearing" again and not guessing what someone has said and responding inappropriately. Even my neighbors are grateful to them as I no longer have to have my TV and other audio equipment set at 60-70 decibels rather than 20-30 range which is normal. Appointments are like visits with family as they are both so caring and easy to talk to. Dr. Littman is 'THE friend of the hearing impaired' that everyone should have. He has the patience of Job, the wisdom of the Sages, the knowledge of a Rhodes Scholar in his field and products and Bill Gates in fine tuning the computers. I hear sounds I had forgotten existed, the ticking of the turn signal in my car; the timer buzzer on the microwave; the wind; the motor in my refrigerator; understanding my granddaughter on the phone; the person sitting next to me. Not only is Dr. Tom dedicated to the welfare of his own patients he commits his time and energy as a spokesman in Washington DC for the improvement of Medicare benefits and other insurers' plans for the hard of hearing including the necessary implements for the safety, mental and emotional health of seniors and others. FACTORIA HEARING should be your first and last stop for professional hearing assessment and the utmost restoration possible.

You'll be a winner too.

When I started having trouble hearing my students in class, I knew I had to do something to improve my hearing, but I really didn't know where to start. Dr. Littman understood that, and spent plenty of time explaining my hearing loss and discussing my day-to-day lifestyle and listening needs. We decided that I should try hearing aids. I will admit that I was apprehensive at first, but Dr. Littman helped make my adjustment to hearing aids comfortable and successful. I was amazed by the technology used to program and adjust my hearing aids while I was wearing them. The hearing aids have helped me hear much better than before and I wish I had taken this step sooner. I have moved out of the Bellevue area, but I will gladly drive the hour or so to his office as needed.
