“If there is a better place to go for your hearing needs I don’t know where it would be. The staff is friendly, courteous, and very knowledgeable. Their service after the sale is outstanding. My session with Shane was excellent. She solved a problem that I was having with “squealing “ when someone got close to my ear. She was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful today.”
