“The professional audiology staff at the UNC Hearing Center went above and beyond expectations to guide and care for me and lead me to the proper choice in hearing aids and they have improved my quality of life exponentially. Stephanie, especially, is a God-send. But the graduate student interns and even the people at the reception desk are all terrific.”

“My experience with the staff & doctors was beyond exceptional!! Not only did they take great care & spent much time with my evaluation & questions I had, they provided follow up for new hearing aid owners that is just invaluable. I cannot believe the difference it made in my hearing to get fitted with aids-----I'd recommend them to anyone who qualifies. They are not 'your grandad's' hearing aids these days. I enjoy listening to music via bluetooth right into my ears & making phone calls too. A special shout out to Ms. Anne Marie Egan, who was incredibly kind, patient & encouraging throughout the entire process as well as Dr. McKenna for her wonderful 'people' skills.”

“Hearing tests very comprehensive and thorough. Nancy McKenna is very professional and my new hearing aids are working well. She also addressed a specific case of wind noise when bike riding. Thanks. ”

“I had been having trouble hearing in church, restaurants, and my tv programs. Dr McKenna and her students studied, tested, and helped me beyond my expectations. I feel free to call with any questions I might have. They don’t just get you hearing aids they teach you how to use them, clean them and answer all your questions. Each visit was a pleasure.”

“I'm a retired banker and past Chairman of our local hospital. I have been involved with many people over the last forty years and I wanted to take this time to express my thanks to Dr. Griffin and Caitlyn Whitson for their help making this decision. I'm very impressed with this young lady and I think she has a bright future. ”
