After being checked out by an ENT doctor and audiologist it was quite clear I needed hearing aids. My journey led me to Island Better Hearing which was listed on a website run by an Arizona audiologist Dr. Cliff. Upon meeting Dr. Tracey Lynch I knew I had made the right decision. Her patience and professionalism truly put me at ease. I highly recommend this facility.”

“I have been working with Island Better Hearing since a sudden hearing loss 15 years. At that time, I questioned how I would continue in my profession as a Psychologist, as well as having many concerns about my functioning in social and family situation. With the expertise, support, and sensitivity provided by audiologists Lori Trentacoste and Tracey Lynch, I was able to transition to using a hearing device to continue to manage my professional and personal responsibilities. In recent years, Dr. Tracey Lynch, has always been available to assist when I have experienced challenges with hearing. She is always patient, sensitive, and extremely responsive. I could not ask for any more, and feel fortunate to have been referred to the extremely competent and caring team at Island Better Hearing.”

I am totally satisfied with my purchase and overall experience, and I would not hesitate to heartily recommend the doctor and 'Island Better Hearing'!”

Any questions I had about cost or the hearing aides were thoroughly and patiently answered by her or the other staff members. I was apprehensive about taking this step and not only was it much easier than I’d imagined, I now understand the importance of having done it! ”

“Tara is in my opinion a consummate professional. In addition to being pleasant she is extremely competent. Thank you again Tara for all your help. ”

She was focused on accurately assessing my hearing needs, providing me with all the information I needed to make an informed decision, and committed to making sure I understood how to get the most from my hearing aides. She was completely on top of her commitment to getting it right. It worked for me and my family. ”

“I have been needing hearing aides for 15 years and using them for 10. I recently came to this practice for repair which went well. My hearing aides were 5 years old and I noticed I was becoming less engaged with my friends. I went to see Tara and she went through a series of tests. I told Tara what I was experiencing . I told her I just started piano lessons and I have always loved music. Tara suggested I try a particular brand and style that could suit me needs. When I left her office I turned on the radio in my car and listened for 15 minutes to my recorded music that I've been listen to for years. I could hear pianos where I never knew they existed. I am a very happy man. Thank you Tara for listening to me and finding the perfect match for me.”

“I recently had the pleasure of meeting with Dr. Tara Mazzone to have my hearing tested & then fitted for my first pair of hearing aids. She was extremely helpful in guiding me through the process of restoring my hearing after many years of denial and then tweaking them until I was completely satisfied! I have found all the doctors there to be caring and ready to help everyone who walks in the office and you won't find a better front desk staff who are all friendly and willing to do everything possible to assist you from scheduling your next appointment to getting any problems corrected as quickly as possible with your hearing aids. So my deepest thanks to to Drs. Tara, Lori & Tracey as well as Emily, Wendi, Kathy & Holly for making this experience a memorable and successful transition.

“I researched hearing aids at quite a few websites (manufacturers, audiologists, etc.) for a long time before choosing an audiologist for my first-ever hearing devices in July 2016. Although many audiologists are closer to my home, I chose Island Better Hearing because they offered more manufacturers, including the two that pioneered devices made for an iPhone (Starkey and Resound), and because I liked their website. Nine months later, I'm happy with my devices and have had a 100% positive experience with audiologist Tara; she knows her stuff, goes out of her way to be helpful both in the office and by responding to e-mail, and, having recently added my aging dad to her patient list at an independent living facility that IBH visits, has won him over, too, who aptly described her as "very sweet" (after complaining about the attitude of the audiologist he had used through 2016, when he was still living in his own house). The office seems to be very well run; try them!”

“I have been associated with Island Better Hearing since I migrated from the West Indies eight years ago. My experience with this establishment has been excellent and very professional. The appointment times are kept, I am always received in a warm and pleasant manner and I have always been treated with the utmost respect.

Tara has been taking care of my hearing needs but by and large, every member of the team is accommodating and caring. Thank you staff of Island Better Hearing. ”

“All the staff at IBH are some of the most patient friendly staff I have ever come across. They are all extremely knowledgeable in their field. They always go above and beyond to make sure their patients are well taken care of and happy after their visit. This is the only place I would ever take my son for his hearing needs. I trust them all completely with his care.”
