Evolution Hearing - Charlottesville

“Who knew that acquiring hearing aids could be as pleasant as it was rewarding? The Evolution Hearing staff (Dr. Koch, John at the front desk, etc.) couldn't be nicer or better at their respective jobs. And oh my, the results of Dr. Koch's skills! My hearing aids have exceeded my every expectation. First, they are so comfortable that I forget I'm wearing them. Second, I seemed to adjust to them almost instantly (in crossing the road the office is on, I told Dr. Koch). Third, the improvement in my hearing has been remarkable. Life has been one marvelous discovery after another in the week since--classical music, British accents on PBS and NPR, and so on. I also love yesterday's addition of a music program, which has improved an important part of my life even more. All told, I must have been working much harder than I realized to hear correctly, because it now feels as though I've laid down a considerable burden. I remove my hearing aids at night almost reluctantly and eagerly reach for them--"my ears" as I've come to think of them--in the morning. I am such a happy camper and so grateful that my wonderful PCP recommended the wonderful Dr. Koch! My only regret is that I didn't seek a referral sooner. ”

“My experience with Dr. Koch and Evolution Hearing practice was amazing. After reading the website I made an appointment and found that the information presented on the website to be completely accurate. Dr. Koch is professional, knowledgeable, thorough, and delightfully kind. She is a good listener who worked with me to make a plan for improved hearing. I feel very fortunate to have connected with this practice.”

“Very professional and high level of attention to providing me with the best level of hearing improvement possible. My hearing comfort level was very important to Dr. Koch. I highly recommend Evolution Hearing services.”

“After ownership and audiologists changed five times in as many years at my previous hearing provider, I began looking for a new audiologist - specifically a specialist who was more than a hearing aid "dispenser." I made an appointment with Dr. Koch and am quite happy that I did. The difference in knowledge and approach from my previous dispenser to Dr. Koch was astounding. I have been her patient for three years now and highly recommend her.”

“I have found Kristin to be kind, caring, and dependable. I feel comfortable and accepted working with her. You will find that she has your back and your ears. I am grateful for her help. Thank you Kristin.”

“I am wearing my second set of hearing aids provided by Evolution Hearing, under the guidance of Kristin Koch. These are rechargeable and have proven so easy to use and keep clean. Keeping hearing aids clean as well as my ears is essential to their working as expected! The periodic hearing tests included in the excellent service provided by Kris and her staff, especially Jonathan, will continue to have me returning as the years go by. ”

“I wish there was a rating above 5 because Christine Wright was beyond excellent. I have tinnitus and hearing loss. After a complete hearing test, Christine was extremely patient with her explanation of my problems and treatments available. She spent a lot of time with me and I never felt rushed through the appointment. My hearing aids were ordered and I already feel a huge sense of relief knowing she can help me. Her professionalism and dedication is so impressive. She has finally given me hope. I will recommend Evolution Hearing to anyone dealing with the stress associated with hearing loss and tinnitus. ”

“Because of nerve damage suffered in an accident when I was a child, I have been unable to hear on my left side. Now, nearly 50 years later, I have noticed degradation in the hearing on my right side. This prompted me to go for a check-up at Evolution Hearing, just to see if anything could be done. I expected to sit down in an office and meet a doctor who asked a bunch of questions to "get to know me" and "what I thought my problem might be" - who would just be going through the motions and checking off boxes without REALLY listening to what I had to say. WOW - was I ever wrong! Dr. Koch greeted me warmly and was very friendly and GENUINELY concerned with everything I had to say. Don't misunderstand me - she was very professional throughout the whole process, but her overall tone really put me at ease. It was more like talking to a friend than a doctor. Dr. Koch was able to get me into a pair of hearing aids that not only improved the hearing in my right side, but now I can even hear on my LEFT side! No - she did not miraculously heal my left ear, but she knew what technology was available to provide the hearing there, which I had been missing nearly my entire life. Dr Koch then gave me options on different levels of aids. Once I chose, she did NOT try to upsell me to the next higher level and expense. Finally, Dr Koch and the office really went above and beyond while working with my insurance and jumping over every obstacle that was placed in front of them. If you need a great audiologist in or near Charlottesville, VA, try out Evolution Hearing. I don 't think you will be disappointed!”

“Once I accepted my need for hearing aids, Dr Koch took me through the entire process including explaining hearing loss; doing a full range of testing; and helping me to select appropriate hearing aids. She is an exceptional professional with a warm and patient bedside manner. Evolution does follow up and is responsive to me at any time I call. I could not be happier and wear my hearing aids all the time.”

“They knew what I needed to have to hear well again. Great experience. Great people. Kristen is very caring, kind, and a true professional. I will recommend Evolution Hearing to anyone who is looking for the best.”

“Dr. Koch was very thorough in her analysis of my hearing problems and gave me excellent advice on dealing with my hearing aids. I was very, very pleased with my visit and plan to continue them.”

“Testing was very complete. Actually more comprehensive than I expected. The tester also emailed me the results but I would have also liked and explanation of the results. She did tell me before I left the office that the screening was with in normal limits.”

“The folks at Evolution Hearing are experienced professionals, with all the sincerity and concern of home time friends. They are prompt, efficient and caring. Great at taking care of issues and wonderful at explaining testing, selection of aids, and being prompt in responses. Dollars well spent.”

“Over the last 7 years Dr Koch has helped me through three ear surgeries and Ménière’s disease. As a difficult patient I would probably be a 8-10. As a great audiologist Dr Koch is a 10!! Thanks for your continuing service. ”

“Dr Koch is very professional and conscientious. My experience with her is always excellent.”

“I will start by saying I had no idea just how bad my hearing was. I was impressed with the entire experience; I was treated with respect and dignity throughput the entire process. ”

“On January 20, 2015 I had a free hearing test at Evolution Hearing. Dr. Koch referred me to the UVA Ear, Nose and Throat folks. My decision was to have surgery but Dr. Koch, who could have sold hearing aids to me, did the right thing by having me consult the ENT doctors. I appreciate her concern and professionalism. ”
