“Aspire Hearing and Balance is a most excellent health organization from the front office to both Dr Wilkins and Dr Nye. They are smooth, efficient and very helpful. They helped me through sudden hearing loss and later balance issues providing expert testing and advice. They are the preferred hearing and balance testing group for several ENT practices as well as my primary care doctor. They’re the best!”

“This summer(2024) I noticed more difficulty hearing and couldn't get my hearing aid to resolve my issues. I had my scheduled hearing aid maintenance visit and hearing test done by Dr. Wilkins. My Phonak audio left ear, Phonak CrosP right ear bought 2022 at Aspire Hearing& Balance was in good condition but my hearing loss had gotten worse. So same appointment Dr. Wilkins connected hearing aid to computer with my updated hearing test & adjusted it to new hearing prescription. "Happy day " I didn't have to buy a new hearing aid. My next review: I have an old hearing aid (2018) Phonak,BoleroB for left ear, PhonakCrosB for right ear that I wear when doing outside yard work, exercise in pool, etc. Since I have had a change in my hearing loss I wanted to check if Dr. Wilkins would inspect and advise me if she could update the hearing prescription using my hearing test from 2 months before, and the cost. Excellent appointment: hearing aid maintenance done ( cleaned, water removed,tubing changed, prescription verification). I am so pleased with a back up hearing aid that I can hear so well. The cost was reasonable. Also I know I will get the truth. Thank you Dr. Kayla for everything you do to keep me hearing at my best. You must be proud of your staff, they are incredible. Thank you Shantel - your calming nature puts everyone at ease.”

“Let me first say, this experience of sudden hearing loss in my right ear was devastating, but here is why it is now not anywhere as bad as I thought, Kayla at Aspire not only has the knowledge, but the patience and personality to help me put this entire deal into perspective. Let me explain, there are a lot of people in the medical world that “say it how it is” and that’s it, and we are suppose to walk out of the office/hospital to figure out what to do next, this is not the case with Kayla, I have had some really bad days and she was able to give me techniques, caring responses and a tough minded approach that really has made a turn around difference, both mentally and physically. See, sometimes God puts the right people in our life at the right time, my family truly appreciates everything her and her office has done! ”

“I have been wearing hearing aids for forty years and I am blessed to now have Kayla Wilkins as my audiologist at ASPIRE HEARING & BALANCE in Lakeland, Fl. She is professional and knowledgeable, takes her time, answers questions and only sells you what you want. Her staff is very understanding and professional. I am very happy with my Phonak Cros Hearing Aid I purchased one year ago. I had my annual hearing test and hearing aid serviced today. I highly recommend their services. ”

“I chose 5 because that was the highest, but Kayla Wilkins deserves a 10 ++++. She is so knowledgeable, competent, informative, sincere, and personable. Although my husband's visit wasn't planned to include a hearing test, Kayla realized there existed a serious issue and took time to administer a complete hearing screening. She diagnosed his problem which was readily improved. Like Kayla Wilkins, the receptionist is wonderful, pleasantly responsive and patient centered. She seems to handle all patients well and answers all their requests smoothly. Aspire Hearing and Balance is a most outstanding clinic which I highly recommend to all. ”
