“She is so pleasant to be around. And she remembers the "small" things in our life, (like our dog's name). It had been probably 9 months since we had seen her. After the "how are you doing", she talked about our dog. We thought that was so thoughtful.”

“Kim has been my Hearing Aid Professional since I first needed hearing aids many years ago! She goes above and beyond taking care of my needs! She is so trustworthy and experienced and knows exactly what you need whatever that happens to be! Whether it’s an issue with your hearing aids or connecting to your phone! Her personality is always positive and professional! You can ask her anything about whatever is troubling about your hearing aids and she bends over backwards to discover what is wrong! I am so lucky to have her be my Healthy Hearing person! Excellent Service!”

“Excellent service. Takes the time to explain everything and goes way beyond making sure that your hearing aids are working the way they are intended to work for you. The personal service is why I continue to go back. ”
