“I have been experiencing difficulty hearing distinctly in a variety of settings (i.e., group meetings, restaurants, gatherings where multiple conversations are occurring, listening to TV, etc.) but had been reluctant to do anything about it. My primary physician talked to me and said it was time to check out what was going on. She referred me to Hearing Associates in Libertyville. I was able to schedule appointment relatively quickly and went in for my exam. Dr. Rachel Stuehm met with me, explained what she would be doing and answered my questions. After the testing she met with me to go over my results and offered a recommendation. I left with a loaner pair of hearing aids which I am testing out this week. I felt listened to throughout the appointment and will be returning next week to finalize the process of getting my first set of hearing aids.”
“My mother was having issues hearing with one of her hearing aids. We had changed out her guards and that didn’t appear to help. I called Hearing Associates and they immediately assessed the situation and because it was almost the weekend, they squeezed mom in for a minor cleaning. ”
“I was experiencing some hearing issues and not sure if it was my ears or my aids. They were able to accommodate me quickly and solve my problem!”
“I received excellent care & follow from the Dr. Struehm & cheerful treatment from the staff.”
“I am always pleased with the service I receive. I was just in for my 6 mos. check up and everything was done efficiently and to my satisfaction.”
