“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. ”
“CH was exactly what I was looking for…competent, friendly and not smug about dealing with my lack of knowledge about my condition. From receptionist to Cathy the audiologist I felt they were there to solve my issues. Highly recommend if you want solutions with friendly respect!”
“Capitol hearing is GREAT! Did not realize how nice it is to hear everything. I love the connect clip and connect to my TV and now I can hear all of a movie. Catherine is very knowledgeable and provides great service. I highly recommend Capitol Hearing and the Oticon Hearing hearing aids. ”
