“Great staff from the front desk to the hearing professionals. I have had GREAT response from both of these fine hearing specialists. Gracie and Julie Ann take time to listen and understand the subjectivity of my hearing concerns that as I try to explain what I have been experiencing. Both have made adjustments to my aides they have been spot on that have addressed my concerns thereby enhancing my ability to comfortably wear my hearing instruments. Thanks everybody for your professional help and response to my needs.”
