“Had my first appointment today. Very favorable experience and I left with my hearing aids and early instructions so will comment more as I learn to work with them”
“Sherri was very helpful and Pete found how far my hearing was failing! I am in the best hearing aids I have ever had and I feel new and can even hear my refrigerator running now! I didn’t know how much I was missing!”
“Friendly courteous staff who scheduled me the day i called as friend had a very positive experience. Peter tested my hearing again(i had been to this practice before some time ago) explained results well . He set up plan to let me accommodate to new aides gradually as there was quite a difference. I enjoy hiking here in WNC and now realize i was missing the sounds of trickling creeks an the sound of song birds. These aides have also greatly improved my hearing of individuals in group situations, my guitar, and notably my own voice sounds like me again. I would recommend calling Sherry for at least an evaluation definitely couldnt hurt, most likely you’ll be pleased also.”
“Excellent and professional staff. My visit went smoothly and I feel like I’m hearing better than ever can’t wait to play my guitar!!”
“Beth (and Sheri) are extremely professional and helpful. Beth's knowledge and expertise is exceptional, by far the best we've ever experienced. ”
