“Mary Susan Thornton’s professionalism and knowledge is exceptional. She made me feel comfortable in this next stage of retirement with better hearing. The surprise came with the two week trial where I could not only hear speech better, but tinnitus was reduced! I could also hear the wind, birds, and other noises outside and around the house (never knew I missed them). Thank you to Tallahassee ENT, Dr. Roberts and my audiologist Dr. Thornton! ”

“I was very nervous and even made a list of questions. Halle Van Oss explained everything without me having to pull out my list. She was patient and explain everything about the hearing aids so I felt confident in trying them out. Kellie Whitman then provided excellent explanations about the hearing aids, adjustments, etc. Excellent experience. Thanks for making it easy to adjust to the hearing aids.”

“I never thought I would look forward to having hearing aids or adapted so well to using them. It was all due to the staff at Audiology Associates. Everybody was polite, knowledgeable, and so supportive-especially Dr. Lisa Myrick and Pam Granger.”

“My audiologist was Halle Van Oss. She was very good, explaining things to me in detail and answering questions I had. Getting help with hearing loss seems like a daunting prospect, but Halle and Kellie Whitman (support specialist) were very patient and took the time to explain everything clearly and in detail. It became very apparent to me during this process that it is worth doing it this way rather than going it alone to try and save money. It would be so hard to get everything right and get the correct aids that affect what needs to be addressed without the expertise of trained personnel. They also offer different choices at varying prices, so you're not forced to pay top dollar. I was pleasantly surprised and am pleased with the service and my hearing aids.”

“I cannot say enough about my positive experiences with Audiology Associates! From my first visit with Dr. Van Oss, I was treated with polite, professional service. When I was found to need hearing aids, my options were thoroughly explained and offered.
When I chose the Oticon aids, I would was instructed in how to use and care for them. They have changed my life! I am always welcomed in that office, if I have questions or need supplies. I want to thank Dr. Van Oss and her assistant, Beth Wilder, for their excellent and ongoing service!”

“I highly value the services provided to me by Audiology Associates. My audiologist, Dr. Susan Nowlin, has worked with me through two sets of hearing aids and is now having me test some accessories that might help my particular hearing challenges. She is highly knowledgeable and has proved excellent service over the many years I have consulted with her. I have told her that I hope some more advanced hearing tests, more like real-life situations and a variety of voices, rather than a sound-proof booth with distinctive, clear voices, might be utilized in the future to better assess my particular hearing loss. Otherwise, I have recommended her services to several acquaintances over the years and will continue to accept her guidance in working with my hearing challenges. I have been very happy and satisfied with her work. ”

“Erin Lackinger, AuD is AWESOME!!!! Dr. Erin is wonderful, competent, personable, and patient. Thank you for your diligence in helping me have the best hearing experience possible. I have awarded the practice five stars because of Dr. Erin. That being said, they have a long way to go with scheduling. There is no such thing as a returned phone call using voice mail or in person requests for a call through the practice's window. Apparently there is one scheduler and when she is off, nothing gets done. The practice should have a backup in place but does not. The scheduler was out for a week and a half, and you can guess, nothing got scheduled AND of course no call back after her return even though the doctor asked for an appointment and two people in the practice were contacted in person and asked to set up an appointment. PLEASE fix this scheduling system. Your docs are too awesome to have to meet up with frustrated patients. Thanks!”

“Once I got my appointment, I had nothing but praise for Mary Sue, Beth and her staff. But, I gave up trying to book an appointment. In mid April, I called 3 times, only to be passed to voice mail. So, I specifically left a brief voice mail message that said “I’d leave my May Calendar open for the clinic to book a day, date and time - then, call me to confirm.” No one listened to my request. I received 3 call backs telling me to call office number and extension. When I told my wife I was going to find another provider, she intervened. You need to fix your appointment-setting process. I’d be surprised if other clients haven’t gone elsewhere after a similar frustrating appointment-setting experience. ”

“Excellent Service, Friendly, Helpful with your needs. You will find that Professional Personal evaluate your needs, through testing that pinpoints the exact level of your hearing needs. They explain very well what the results of the testing are. They then make recommendations on what your needs are to improve your hearing.
I found them to be exact in my problems and in explaining the solution to my hearing being corrected and greatly improved. They showed me the mode hearing aids that I needed to correct my hearing lose. I'm now truly happy in the help and service they have given to me.”
