“Dr. Taylor was awesome! I arrived nervous and uneasy, and left knowing my hearing was just fine. Dr. Taylor took the time to explain everything to me and do multiple tests to assess my hearing. It was a very positive appointment and I highly recommend Dr. Taylor.”

“I had a build-up of wax to the point where I could not hear out of one ear. I called Taylor Listening Center, and they were able to fit me in on the same day. Their COVID-19 precautions were very safe and reassuring. Dr. Taylor used irrigation to clean out the clogged up ear, and everything went smoothly. She told me exactly what to expect every step of the way and even checked my ear drums afterward to make sure they were moving correctly. I was very happy with the service that I received.”

“Of course, when my husband said I couldn't hear I didn't really think he was correct. Then in the spring of 2019 I had a severe case of shingles in my face. My left ear suffered more hearing loss. I had to do something and I found Dr. Taylor. I wear my hearing aids everyday and am very happy. Dr. Taylor also helped me with my insurance coverage and obtained a refund from my carrier. Couldn't say enough about her help.”

“Wonderful experience! Easy parking and access to office. Dr. Taylor is a very warm and caring healthcare provider. Both my wife and I were in and out in short time to have our ears cleaned out, with no discomfort whatsoever. Made our next appointment before even leaving the office.”

“I've been using hearing aids for the last 6 years and I never noticed that they were actually improving my hearing until the current pair I got from Taylor Listening Center. These are the 3rd pair I've had in 6 years and the first that I would say I can tell the difference. I hear so clearly now that I have lowered my voice considerably and people have asked me if I am feeling alright because I am talking so softly. Additionally I received the most thorough examination that I ever got from any of the prior 3 audiologists who examined me.”

“Taylor Listening Center has the best customer care model I've ever experienced! My hearing loss saga lasted for many decades. I am a technically-capable guy worked in Electronics field all my life. Long ago when I started losing my hearing, I started to use different inexpensive ways to amplify the sound. I started wearing wired headphones to listen to TV, music, etc. Then, when I married my 3rd wife 14 years ago, she started getting annoyed by having to speak louder and louder so I could hear what she was saying. I ordered several hearing aids from Bell and Howell advertised on TV for years. They looked like Bluetooth devices so people did not think I was wearing hearing aids. Rechargeable batteries lasted only about 5 hours, so I had to have couple with me to keep replacing them during the day. After few years my hearing declined enough that I needed something with more amplification. Again, I started buying more expensive aids advertised on TV. Tried $600 ones, $1600, even $2800, but for different reasons none were working for me. My wife and all friends and relatives were getting tired of not being able to communicate with me. I finally agreed to seek a real hearing aid specialist. I started the research for the best specialist in my area. Read a lot of reviews and shortly run into this office with a lot of excellent reviews. I arranged the appointment with Emily, and shortly I went to see her. I loved the atmosphere and Emily herself who made me feel like I was talking to a friend, not the business woman who was trying to sell me a product. She did an extensive hearing test, explained to me what kind of aid my hearing loss would need. At this point I did not care for the price, I wanted the most advanced technology that will give me not only the ability to hear well but enable me to answer the phone calls without taking my phone out of my pocket, also to listen to the TV without the headphones, but right into my rearing aids. All three functions were available in the most advanced rearing aid manufactured by company called Oticon! I am now a happy owner of unbelievable convenience I could just to dream of! Not only my wife is very happy, so as everybody else, but now I walk around the house and listen to a TV, if someone calls on the phone, TV sound stops, I push a button on a little device I clip to my shirt and answer the call while my smart phone is still in my pocket. I just love it, and at 76 I started enjoying my life much more, and all that I owe to two people, my wife and my new friend by name Emily! Thank you so much to her and Taylor Listening Center. If anyone want my personal advice, I would be more than happy to provide my personal experience and knowledge. Tony G. ”

“Dr. Emily Taylor has been my audiologist for 6 years. She has educated me concerning my diminishing hearing and presented options for future corrective care. I find her to be a very warm, compassionate and knowledgeable doctor. I have recommended her and will continue to recommend her services to my family and friends. We need more dedicated doctors like Dr. Emily Taylor. ”

“My husband purchased hearing aids from Taylor Listening Center about 3 years ago. After his evaluation at that time for his hearing loss, Dr. Taylor who is the audiologist and owner of this establishment, explained to us the different kinds of hearing aids and which one would be best suited for him. Since he has had these hearing aids, my husband’s hearing has improved and his quality of life is so much better. Dr. Taylor is very special to us. With her warmth, caring, kindness, and personal attention, she is by far the “best.” I would truly recommend Taylor Listening Center and I give it a high rating. ”

“My daughter, age 5, is not a fan of having her ears touched or manipulated in any way after suffering from chronic ear infections and multiple procedures since infancy. We came to The Taylor Listening Center to have her hearing checked after her school voiced concerns. Dr. Taylor was excellent in helping my daughter overcome her fear and hesitation surrounding the testing and was able to complete a full assessment. She was creative and fun. My daughter left TLC with a big smile on her face. I highly recommend Dr. Taylor for pediatric needs. ”

“I came to TLC after being with another local audiologist and I was overwhelmingly impressed. After walking into the door on the first day, I felt comfortable. Once I first sat down with Dr. Bishop, I already had the feeling that I was set. No need to look further. Dr. Bishop makes you feel that you are part of office that cares. Her personal touch is heartwarming. I will be here for now on. My suggested hearing aids are better than what I had and they took care of all my insurance needs. You will not be disappointed. I am a set patient for life.”

“I have been seeing audiologists for 25 years while living in various parts of the US. Dr. Emily Taylor is a highly qualified audiologist who I gladly give a rating of excellence. Her knowledge of her field is notable and she stays current with the latest technologies. Hearing loss can be complex and personal and she freely gives her time to discuss options and try various programming options with my hearing aids. The entire office is welcoming and Emily Taylor is very accessible and a pleasure to work with. You really can't go wrong with Taylor Listening Center. ”

“I had a fantastic experience with Taylor Listening Center. When I first came in the office I was really struggling with an old 'basic' hearing aid, often calling out of work on 'bad hearing days' and avoiding certain social situations. Emily was very patient and understanding of my situation. She allowed me to 'demo' multiple different devices for an extended period of time so we could find the right fit and explore all the options I was interested in such as Bluetooth and streaming iPhone integration. Since working with Taylor Listening Center I've haven't had to call out of work and am more comfortable in situations that were previously difficult such as going to the movies, attending shows or traveling through the airport. I highly recommend making an appointment with them.”

“Even though I have a long drive for an appointment, I enjoyed receiving my hearing needs at Taylor's office. Emily is very helpful and willing to bend over backwards to meet your needs. I have been able to try hearing aids prior to purchase and others prior to changing my original purchase. She is helpful on making appointments fit one's schedule. Overall, I am happy with my choice of hearing establishments. ”

“Dr. Emily Taylor is excellent is an audiologist. She knows what she is doing, listens to your concerns and answers them in a caring and patient manner. She has cleaned wax out of my ears before, and I don't even feel anything! I will never have that done by the ENT again, as I was in excruciating pain when I did! I know her mother-in-law from the time I was 7 years old, and am so glad I chose her for my hearing needs. It does not get any better than this! ”

“I highly recommend this practice!! I had been to other audiologists and expected a certain level of professional concern regarding my hearing impairment. However, Dr. Taylor demonstrated ( and still does) a much more interested, compassionate approach, with a personal determination to get me the best hearing aid for my issues. Dr. Taylor is easy to talk with, patient, and is happy to explain the product (more than once if I don't get the technology!). It is easy to get an appointment, little if any waiting, great receptionist, nice office. No downside! I'm staying put.”

“The staff at Taylor Listening Center are absolutely amazing! Scheduling an appointment was very easy and we were seen the next day for a standard hearing test. Wendy Teie was such an amazingly nice person and she calmed many of the fears that I had while being tested. She took plenty of time to explain everything that was to be expected and and even shared some personal stories that made me feel very at ease. Sometimes the biggest fear with an exam like this is just not knowing what to expect. My experience from the time we walked in until the time we walked out was one in which I told Wendy that I wish there was one of her in every medical type office setting. Her expressions of compassion and caring have long since left most of the medical care we experience these days and I for one, miss the old days and fantasticly nice folks like what we experienced at TLC. I highly recommend them based upon my experience.”

“Review of the Taylor Listening Center (TLC) and Dr. Emily J. Taylor I am a 70 year old man who has had significant hearing problems for at least the last 20 years. I had avoided dealing with the issue for a variety of reasons: the expense, the bother of using hearing aids, the perceived pressure of sales pitches, etc. My hearing loss really became problematic when I realized I could not accurately hear what my grandchildren were saying to me. Also, I could no longer enjoy their school concerts and plays because I could not make out the dialog and/or lyrics. It’s disheartening to sit and hear the audience laugh at a scene and not share their amusement because I missed the entire punch line! A few months ago, I saw a Facebook posting for TLC and visited Dr. Taylor’s website. I read her explanation of her business practices and her reasons for opening TLC. I was really impressed with her approach to her practice and decided to make an appointment for a hearing test and evaluation. I was scheduled immediately. When I arrived for my appointment, the office was exactly as described. Clean, modern, and professional, but also very comfortable and homelike in feel. The coffee/beverage station is an excellent feature of the waiting area. Dr. Taylor gave me her undivided attention for the entire visit. We discussed my family, my concerns with hearing and possible reasons for the loss of my hearing. She conducted the hearing test herself and gave me a full and detailed assessment. We discussed a full range of options and a number of different hearing aids. After a couple of days to think over the options, I asked her to order two Oticon hearing aids for me. These are top of the line hearing aids with Bluetooth capability built in. Dr. Taylor scheduled a fitting session and reviewed all the functionality and operations of these hearing aids. She also scheduled a follow-up visit 3 weeks after the delivery of the hearing aids to go over any issues or concerns. I have another follow-up visit to review my experiences and make sure I am successfully adapting to their use. I feel as though Dr. Taylor is more than just my audiologist. I see her as a partner in my quest to regain my hearing ability. She not only spent the time to get to know my issues in detail but she is devoting her time after delivering the hearing aids to make sure every concern I have is properly addressed. She is always available via e:mail to address any and all of my issues and concerns. I could not have made a better choice than Dr. Taylor and TLC. ”

“Dr. Emily Taylor is the best!!! I was having issues with my hearing, almost to the point where I couldn't hear out of my left ear and my balance was thrown off. Dr. Taylor took exceptional care in treating my ears, testing out all potential issues and explaining all measures to take for the future to protect my hearing. The entire experience was top notch. Stop looking anywhere else and go to TLC, I promise you won't regret it!”

“I was so pleased with my incredible experience with Taylor Listening Center that I wanted to share my story. It was important for me to make sure I went to a highly recommended audiologist so I could be sure I was getting a proper evaluation. My story is rather funny because when I first started searching for an audiologist two different people gave me Dr Taylor's name along with her center but I kept losing her name. I waited so long, of course I never believed my hearing was as bad as it turned out to be. Finally, I called a close friend and said I know of a good audiologist but I couldn't remember her name so if my friend knew of someone good I would call that person right away. She gave me Dr Taylor's name and I squealed with delight because I remembered she was the doctor everyone was recommending! That alone should make you want to check her out. Well, I did go to see her and I've never been happier. Emily was so thorough and kind and made me feel reassured every step of the way. I was diagnosed with severe hearing loss in both ears and was shocked how much my new hearing aids changed my life. Just as Emily said it would. It was so easy to put your trust in her and relax knowing she would take good care of you. You receive such superior customer service I actually looked forward to my visits and never thought I would love having to wear hearing aids , which I must add are invisible. I don't have to ask people over and over to repeat themselves and not blasting the TV at night makes my husband very happy. Dr Emily Taylor is an outstanding audiologist and I'm so grateful to her I just want to spread the word to anyone needing help in this area that I highly recommend her and you will be just as pleased as all of us that love her. ”

Clinic details
About this hearing center
The Taylor Listening Center was founded in 2013 by Dr. Emily J. Taylor, a native to the Baltimore area. Her dream of opening a practice came about 10 years ago when she was studying at the University of Maryland. Dr. Taylor’s vision was to create a listening center that was 100% focused on patient care and less on the profit. Some might say this makes her a bad business woman but this philosophy is what makes Taylor Listening Center so unique compared to other practices in the area. Patients enjoy the professional and welcoming atmosphere and quickly feel like part of the TLC family after just one visit. TLC is dedicated to giving back to the community by selecting a different foundation/charity each month to donate proceeds of hearing testing to. We have also set up a hearing aid donation program so that we can fit refurbished donated hearing aids to those who cannot afford amplification. Dr. Taylor and staff look forward to showing you why TLC is a special type of practice unlike any other.
