“At first I was disappointed Dr. Gant was not there.... she's the greatest. I almost cancelled, but I'm glad I didn't. Dr. Davidson was wonderful! She knows her business and has wonderful people skills, too.”
“I was visiting from out of town and had something change after shooting at in indoor range. After it lasted a week, I decided to see an Audiologist prior to shooting again. I made the appointment online (was a little wonky, showed times but said they were all booked when I clicked, just keep clicking down in the times you’ll get one) and had the appointment within 3 days. Met with Dr. Ramos and had a hearing eval. From the moment I walked in, the service was impeccable. On time, super clean, great description of the process, she answered all of my numerous questions and gave me very clear instructions and suggestions going forward. This was a great decision on my part to make an appointment with them. You’re heading to the right place! ”
“My experience with getting hearing aids at Mountain Ear has been exceptional. Understanding the physiology and brain connection with hearing loss were both interesting and essential to know as an aging individual. Dr. Ramos took the time to explain these aspects of hearing loss to me. Dr. Ramos displays a relaxed and interested approach to her clients such that asking questions and expressing needs for the adjustment of your hearing aides is an easy process. The office atmosphere is courteous and inviting. I am so pleased with my decision to go to Mountain Ear for care! ”
