“Excellent methodology in precisely calibrating the level of optimum amplitude and white noise presence. Although you can now buy hearing aids over the counter, this sort of attention is required for maximum effectiveness. My wife and I both have hearing aids from Hearing Pros, and we see no reason to go elsewhere.”

“Great service, very knowledgeable and through.”

“As a health care professional who was reluctant to evaluation and intervention, I was extraordinarily surprised ! I worked with Sheri who was knowledgeable and supportive. The evaluation was easy. Purchasing and using the prescribed hearing aides was one of the best health care measures I have taken. While I expected using them would be difficult and painful, that was not the case. I utilize them on a daily basis which has made a significant positive difference in my life. I am grateful to Sheri for helping me realize my full hearing potential.”
