“My hearing deteriorated as an Air Force pilot years ago with the high frequency loud sounds on the flight line. It finally reached a point where i knew, with the help of an office testing process that i needed Oticon hearing devices. they work great, help reduce my tinnitus, and provice an awesome connection to my music devices. I highly recommend them”

“Dr. Megan Read introduced me to being able to hear conversations and to watch TV shows again with out the volume turned way up . I was totally amazed at what proper hearing aides can do to open up the world around me . I love the blue tooth feature of these hearing aides. My daughter accompanied me for my test and fitting. She was so impressed by Dr. Read's explaining of the test and results. We both learned a lot that day. It is routine for me to put my hearing aides in after I am ready for the day and to take them out when I'm ready to crawl into bed. I absolutely love them. I would highly recommend the Oticon. Dr. Read answered all of our questions and was very patient with demonstrating how to put them in my ear. Their customer service is top of the line. ”

“Sharon, thank you for sharing your fantastic experience with Dr. Megan Read and the Oticon hearing aids! It's incredible to hear how these hearing aids have transformed your ability to engage in conversations and enjoy TV shows without having to turn up the volume excessively. The world around you has opened up, and that's truly remarkable. The Bluetooth feature is undoubtedly a valuable addition, allowing you to connect seamlessly with various devices. It's wonderful that your daughter accompanied you and was equally impressed with Dr. Read's explanations of the tests and results. Learning together can be an enriching experience. We're delighted to hear that your hearing aids have become a routine part of your day, improving your overall quality of life. Dr. Read's patience in demonstrating how to properly insert them in your ears and her responsiveness to all your questions is a testament to her commitment to exceptional customer service.

“Dr Smith is fantastic! I recently purchased hearing aids and couldn’t be happier. I’m a ‘boomer’ and paying the piper for my younger passion for loud music (and family genetics) which has impacted my quality of life with hearing challenges. I walked out of the doctors office with my calibrated and fitted hearing aids on the first visit. The entire process was so easy, and I can hear ‘normally’ again. Dr Smith is professional, thorough, knowledgeable, kind and understanding. Best decision I’ve made in a long time. I highly recommend The Hearing Center with Dr Smith and the entire support staff!”

“I met Dr. Megan Read year ago while searching for new hearing devices. After testing I tried other hearing aids until the new Oticon devices were installed. in 28 years wearing hearing aids I have never experienced the clarity, and ease of use, than I have with these aids. I also can adjust completely the options on my cell phone to control my hearing needs. Thank you Dr. Read.”

“Being apprehensive of getting hearing aids to begin with, it has turned into a pleasent experiance and certainly glad I visited Dr. Smith. She is so personable and professional and has been helpful all along the way. The Oticon aids have taken a little to get used to but in all honesty, less than I expected. They work great and with each follow up visit we alter and update the settings to suit my needs as they change. I highly recommend Sound Relief and Dr. Jackie Smith. ”
