“Not only was an exam conducted but my current hearing aid was adjusted and cleaned so it performs much better than it before my appointment.Thank you for your patience and for answering all of my questions.”

“There was difficulty at work in always hearing what was said clearly. One of my parents was very hard of hearing even with aids. I do not want to be that way. If by being proactive I can prevent hearing loss I'm in on that. All of the testing was explained well before being done and the results were explained clearly after the testing was completed. Ideas for enhancing my hearing in the workplace were given and a follow up is being planned for. I appreciate the time that was taken with me and the explanations that were given.”
