“I have seen Rhonda Ruby for many years. Every time I have a problem she has a possible solution. My newest hearing aides (this month) have been beyond reasonable expectation even life changing ! Once when ill with an ear infection the entire center pitched in to get me through temporary deafness in one ear. ”
