“Capital Hearing Care has an extremely friendly and professional staff. Many audiologists (hearing businesses) seem to focus on trying to sell you a hearing aid vs. identifying your problem and working with you to get to the best solution. Dr Worth is an exception - she has been involved in studying and resolving hearing issues for many years. She is "THE ONE AUDIOLOGIST" that I have found who takes the time to evaluate your hearing situation, discuss the results in detail, and then help you find the best solution. I drive from Albuquerque NM to Santa Fe NM because she is so good. I strongly recommend her to anyone who is interested in improving their hearing situation.”
“I can recommend Catherine Worth without reservation. Upon returning to Santa Fe after 25-year absence I needed to find an audiologist. The care I’ve received from Catherine is excellent and I am very happy with my choice of audiologists.”
“I have worked with three audiologists over the past several years and Capital Hearing Care is the best by far. Catherine Worth and her staff are all very knowledgeable, professional and a pleasure to work with.”
“What a joy to have found Capital Hearing. After several years of denying that I wasn’t hearing well, ( I mean who wants to admit that they are getting older and things aren’t as sharp as they used to be), I finally broke down and scheduled a hearing test. I’m so glad I chose Capital Hearing. The entire staff is exceptional. Catherine explained my test results thoroughly and offered treatment options. Can’t deny that hearing aids are expensive, but am glad I didn’t go the over-the-counter route because follow up service is critical, believe me. Thank you Catherine, Sharon and Kaylee. You are the best!”
“I was at my wits end. Severe to profound hearing loss awaited my journey into the unknown called retirement. I was prepared to retreat into a life of being a recluse and avoiding contact with the outside world because of my difficulty in hearing. I reached out to a familiar name I found on an internet search, Kristen E. and Catherine Worth. A visit and consultation resulted in a fitting with the latest in hearing aid technology specifically for severe to profound hearing loss. I've worn hearing aids since I was a sophomore in high school and the technology has greatly improved since 1972. Still, I thought, maybe you've reached the end of the line for help. Not so, the loaner set of aids resulted in a pleasant surprise. I could hear music again. I could converse in a room where others were talking, and background noise existed. The blue tooth technology allowed me to hear to speak on a phone again. I can drive with the directions being relayed to me through the Blue Tooth technology and my cell phone. Catherine and her staff understand the challenges of the hearing impaired and have solutions to resolve the difficulties associated with hearing loss. Don't give up, make an appointment today and find out the solutions that are available to overcome hearing loss. Thank you, Catherine and your staff, for your caring and wonderful service that you provided for me. Retirement will be a great journey now. ”
